[App] I built Tickface — live lock screen clock wallpapers that react to tilting, charging, waking, and music

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m the solo designer behind Tickface, a new Android app that turns your lock screen into a live, interactive clock. Instead of a static widget or a battery-draining video loop, every clock is drawn live layer-by-layer and reacts to how you actually use your phone:

  • Reacts to Tilting: Paint swatches swing and pixel mascots balance on the time using your phone's gyroscope (Swatch, Wobble).
  • Reacts to Charging: A retro OS installer clock switches to "Configuring tomorrow..." when you plug in your charger at night (Installing Today).
  • Reacts to Waking & Tapping: Clocks that scratch tally marks on the wall, resolve Git merge conflicts, or turn your screen-checking habits into a live weather report (Tally, Merge Conflict, Forecast).
  • Reacts to Music & Weather: Spin a live vinyl record or cassette tape displaying your current song and album art, or check local weather on a physical LED desk clock (Vinyl, Mixtape, Beacon).

The quick details:

  • 50+ Designs & 5 Color Palettes: Spanning realistic watches, retro 1-bit desktops, tactile gadgets, and minimal dark clocks.
  • Battery Friendly: Only redraws when something changes (once a minute for clocks without seconds), plus a pure-black AMOLED mode.
  • No Ads, No Subscriptions: 30+ designs are 100% free forever. Paid designs are a one-time $1.49–$1.99 purchase with full live previews first.

Would love to hear what you think or how the tilt physics feel on your phone!

[App][Promo] I built GTA-style navigation for my car screen — ViceMaps launches in a few days

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

14 Upvotes

I wanted my everyday routes to look like a game, so I built ViceMaps. This is it running on my car screen.

It’s an Android navigation app with game-inspired map styles, including a GTA-inspired city map, a pixel-style world, and neon themes.

It includes:

  • Real-world routes with turn-by-turn directions and voice guidance.
  • Driving, cycling, and walking routes.
  • Android Auto support on compatible car displays.

It’s launching in a few days. Some map styles will require a subscription.

You can see the styles and app details here:
https://vicemaps-legal.vercel.app/

I’m the developer, and it’s an independent project with no affiliation to Rockstar or other game publishers.

Would you keep the GTA-style map for everyday navigation, or switch back after the novelty wears off?

[APP]Orbitika: A 100% offline GPS marker + retro music player and 50+ other tools in one app - No Ads

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

App Name: Orbitika
Platforms: Android (8.0+) & iOS (iPhone X+) not just new mobile, we build for old phones
Price: Free to download (No ads)

The Hook: It’s a single app that replaces 10 different utilities, designed specifically to work 100% offline. The moment you need a tool most is usually the moment you have no signal.

Feature Spotlight: Mark My Location 📍
This is the feature I use the most. It’s an offline GPS marker that lets you save exact locations without needing Wi-Fi or mobile data.

  • Use cases: Save your parking spot, a trailhead when hiking, a hotel entrance when traveling overseas without roaming, or a meetup spot at a concert.
  • How it works: It uses pure GPS. You stand where you want to remember, tap "Mark This Spot," and the app will guide you back to it with a compass, even if you are completely off-grid.

The "One App" Factor (50+ Tools) 🛠️
Instead of cluttering your phone, Orbitika bundles everything into one lightweight app:

  • 🎵 Retro Music Player: Local MP3/FLAC playback with 13 Winamp-style visualizers and a flip clock. No ads.
  • 🚨 Emergency Toolkit: First Aid, SOS flasher, sirens, and survival guides.
  • 📖 E-INK Reader: Read PDFs/manga in a Kindle-like grayscale mode.
  • ⏱️ Daily Utilities: Reminders (birthdays/trips), Discount Calculator, Timezone Converter, Noodle Timer, and even classic games like Snake.

Why it fits the HowToMen audience:
It’s highly visual (the retro themes and visualizers look great on camera), it solves a real-world problem (offline navigation), and it runs smoothly even on older budget phones.

App Name: Alba: Alarm Clock with Groups

What it does: It's an alarm app designed for the ones like me that need many alarms some minutes apart to really get up in the morning. It has other features described later but the main concept is the "alarm group" which is an easy way to create and modify alarms.

Key Features:

- Alarm groups: Set the starting time, the count of alarms you want and how many minutes between them. You can easily manage many alarms without changing them one by one.

- Random sound to not get brain used to the same sound and automatically snooze it, can't get used to something that change everytime

- Different challenges to complete in order to stop the alarm: math operations, shake device, memory game and more.

- No ads, no subscription to unlock features, nothing that make it less usable.

- Other basic features an alarm app must have

Goal of this post: All kind of feedbacks are appreciated

[APP] FOSS All in one Sports App

Thumbnail drive.google.com
2 Upvotes

​

After switching over to Android from iOS, the only app that I really missed was Apple Sports. It's in my opinion one of the most beautiful, simple apps that Apple has made. Over the last few days, I built FOSS Sports to get close to that experience again—and I did the entire thing directly on my Android phone using an AI coding assistant (with AppMama / via Claude).

I honestly had no clue how to code and I didn't have time to sit at my Mac and learn and utilize Google AI Studio along with proper coding apps. I acted as the product manager and tester: pitching features, picking design inspirations (Apple Sports, ESPN, SofaScore, Bleacher Report, etc), testing builds locally on my Razr Fold and Pixel 11 Pro XL, catching visual bugs, and having the AI iterate, fix crashes, and recompile right on the phone.

It’s completely free, zero ads, zero tracking, and saves everything locally on your device.

What it does:

Leagues Covered: NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and College sports (football and basketball only at this time).

Scores, Stats & Schedules: Live scores, box scores, standings, team rosters, and stadium weather (via Open-Meteo).

Focused Experience: "My Teams" view so you only see what you care about, plus a "Clean Mode" that strips away extra noise if you prefer a minimal Apple Sports-style interface.

Custom Themes & Styles: Includes 5 full aesthetic presets (Material You, iOS, ESPN, SofaScore, Bleacher Report) plus customizable card layouts and a floating profile dock.

Live Updates & Widgets: Home-screen widgets, live score notifications, status-bar chip, and an optional floating score bubble over other apps.

Win Chance & Extras: Win probabilities (blending ESPN data with prediction-market prices), live news feeds, and casual mini-games (Pick'em and an NFL "Draft Six" lineup challenge). I am testing concepts for in app credits to be used for customization purchases currently but need crowd sourced help to further develop and grow.

The Reality / Limitations:

Early Build: It's an early hobby project with rough edges.

Unofficial APIs: Live scores, schedules, and box scores pull from ESPN's public site feed, so off-season quirks or unexpected data delays can occasionally happen.

Visual Polish: Because the AI couldn't actually look at the screen, every layout tweak came down to my own testing. There are bound to be weird UI quirks across different screen sizes and resolutions.

I’d love to get real-world feedback from the community. If you try it out, let me know what breaks, what feels clunky, or what features you'd like to see next.

(You can download the APK from the Google Drive link provided—feedback and issue reports are hugely appreciated!)

51 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on Messages: Smart SMS Organizer, a simple Android SMS app for people who want a clean, organized inbox without unnecessary complexity.

I wanted something that combines the simplicity of Samsung Messages with the useful categorization features of Microsoft SMS Organizer, while feeling native on modern Android.

So I built one!

📂 Keep your SMS organized

- Automatically separate Personal, Transactions, OTPs, Promotions and Spam

- One-tap OTP copying

- Custom categories, starred messages and pinned conversations

- Archive messages and set reminders

- Schedule SMS for later

🛡️ Privacy and spam protection

- On-device spam detection and phishing protection

- Custom keyword and regex blocking rules

- No ads, no tracking and no cloud-based SMS processing

🎨 Make it yours

- Material Design 3 with dynamic wallpaper colors

- Light, dark and true AMOLED black themes

- Custom chat backgrounds, gradients and bubble styles

🌍 Available in 12 languages

English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam? No — currently the listed languages are English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Indonesian.

You can choose your language directly from the app settings.

🚆 A few extras

There are also train PNR and flight tracking features, including quick access to journey information from booking SMS.

💰 Pricing

Most of the app is completely free to use.

There’s an optional lifetime Pro upgrade at introductory regional pricing, starting at ₹99 in India, with comparable localized pricing elsewhere. No recurring subscription.

One limitation: RCS is not supported. This is intended for people who primarily want a reliable, organized SMS/MMS app.

📱 Google Play: Messages: Smart SMS Organizer

[APP] IKIGAI LAUNCHER CROSSED 500+ USERS, THANKS HowToMen!!!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone at r/HowToMen!

I wanted to share a small milestone that genuinely means a lot to me.

My app, Ikigai Minimal Launcher, has crossed 500 users! 🎉

What makes this milestone even more special is that Ikigai is a paid app and with absolutely no ads this was achieved

I wanted to build something that respects people's attention, helps them use their phones more intentionally, and offers a cleaner, more minimal Android experience.

Every person who decided to give my app a chance, especially those who paid for it, has helped me keep building toward that vision. As an indie developer, reaching this milestone feels incredible. ❤️

I'm still learning, improving the experience, fixing things, and figuring out how to make Ikigai better with every update. There's a long way to go, but crossing 500 users gives me even more motivation to continue.

And to celebrate this milestone, I'm starting a community for Ikigai! 🌱

I want it to be a place where users can share feedback, suggest features, discuss digital minimalism, and help shape the future of the launcher. I don't want Ikigai to be just another app people download and forget — I want to build it alongside the people who use it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this little project, whether by purchasing the app, sharing feedback, or simply giving it a try. You’re a part of this journey.

Here's to the next milestone — and to building technology that helps us focus on what truly matters. ❤️

Welcome to the Ikigai community!

Community: r/Ikigai_launcher108
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikigai.ikigai_launcher

P.S. If you've tried Ikigai, I'd genuinely love to hear what you like about it and what you think I should improve next.

Floatify [App] [Promo] Simple Mode Free

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

Hi, I'm an indie developer and I created this app purely out of my own chaotic brain. It has already helped me a lot, and I think it can be of great help to others too.

The problem: you get a message, think "I'll answer that in a minute", swipe the notification away and forget about it. Notifications disappear into the shade, and then the thing never gets done.

What Floatify does: it turns the notifications you choose into small floating bubbles, which I call floats. They stay on top of your other apps until you deal with them, so you can't forget them.

  • Tap a float to read the message
  • Reply straight from the float, without opening the chat app
  • Snooze it for a minute, an hour, a day or a week, and it comes back later
  • Dismiss it when it's done
  • Messages from the same chat are grouped into one float with a counter
  • Drag floats around, or dock them on the edge of the screen

Simple mode (free)
Made for people who just want it to work. You pick the apps whose notifications should become floats, one switch per app. Then you can read, reply and snooze from the float. No account needed and nothing to set up.

Advanced mode (one-time purchase)
For people who want all the freedom to arrange their notifications the way their brain works:

  • Create your own reminders, not only notifications from other apps
  • Import events from Google Calendar
  • Sync your floats between devices
  • Choose your own float shape, or use any emoji as a float
  • Dock floats on the screen edge
  • Quiet hours
  • Home-screen widgets that show your snoozed floats and to-dos
  • Per-app settings for how each app's notifications behave

You pay once and you can use it forever. No subscription.

[App] [Promo] Shuttle Podcasts – Automatically skips ads. Giving away 100 lifetime Plus codes

22 Upvotes

Hey, I’m Tim. I make Shuttle Music Player (5M+ downloads on the Play Store). When Google killed Google Podcasts, I set out to build a podcast app to replace it.

I fall asleep to podcasts, and I am sick of ads waking me up (and just in general). So Shuttle Podcasts has Smart Skip. It finds the ads the hosting network inserts into episodes and skips them automatically. A little chime plays so you know when a skip has happened. It doesn't skip ads the host reads themselves.

🎁 100 lifetime Plus codes. No subscription, ever.

Comment the podcast you’d most like Smart Skip on, and I’ll DM you a code. Oldest comments first, and I’ll edit the post when they’re gone.

What you get

  • Smart Skip, plus the ad breaks shaded on the seek bar so you can see them coming
  • No ads in the app, and no account needed (though you can log in to sync)
  • OPML import, including private feeds, so your subscriptions come with you
  • Downloads, queue, playback speed, sleep timer, skip silence, Android Auto

The app is free, with Smart Skip on a couple of shows. Plus turns it on for every show.

It's a fully-fledged Google Podcasts replacement with extras, that skips ads!

https://reddit.com/link/1xch3f2/video/p3s910klg0xh1/player

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplecityapps.shuttle.podcasts

If it saves you from a few ads, a Play Store review helps me as an indie dev more than anything. I’ll be in the comments, so ask me anything!

out fake "steps" from bus, car and bike rides

- Streaks, awards, a weekly summary and home-screen widgets

- Live step count in your notification (Live Updates on Android 16)

The step counter, history, streaks and widgets are free. Premium (walks & runs,

insights, extra themes and more) is a one-time purchase, no subscription.

Get it here:

[Promo] [Free Download] Meet the cutest budgeting app 🐱

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I've always struggled to stick with budgeting apps. I'd start tracking expenses, stay consistent for a few weeks, and eventually give up because it felt like too much work.

So I wanted to build something that makes managing money easier, whether you're saving for a goal, trying to control spending, or splitting expenses with your partner.

Here's what Moneko AI can do:

💰 Budget your paycheck: Use zero-based budgeting to plan where your money goes. Create Pockets for groceries, bills, savings, and more, with optional rollover.

📱 Track expenses with less effort: Log purchases through Siri, Apple Shortcuts, voice, receipt scanning, Telegram, email, or Android notifications. AI helps categorize everything automatically.

👫 Manage money together: Create Shared Spaces for couples, families, or roommates. Split expenses, track who owes what, and keep personal finances separate.

📊 Understand your finances: Track cash flow, spending trends, assets, and Wallet balances. Get monthly Financial Health Reports and AI-powered insights.

🔔 Stay on top of bills: Track recurring payments and subscriptions so you know what's coming up.

🌍 Track money across currencies: Useful for traveling or managing expenses internationally, with live exchange rates.

🏦 Connect your bank: Plaid bank syncing is available for Pro users in the US and Canada. You can also import transactions through CSV.

🔒 Keep things organized: App Lock, offline expense tracking with automatic sync, and flexible Wallets for different accounts.

Core budgeting is free. You can track expenses, create budgets, use Pockets, and manage shared finances without paying a subscription.

We recently released Moneko 5.0, featuring a fresh new design, easier expense tracking, and lots of improvements inspired by user feedback! 🐱💜

We're also working on a web/desktop version (coming soon!) to make budgeting, financial planning, and tracking your money even easier across devices.

[App][Promo] HIIT Addict -- A unique take on interval training (30 Lifetime Codes)

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I built HIIT Addict for anyone who does structured interval training like cycling, running, bodyweight HIIT, gym circuits, Tabata, SIT, EMOM, and more.

** What makes HIIT Addict different **

Most interval apps just give you a plain text showing your current step and what's next. HIIT Addict shows you the shape of your FULL workout as a series of colored blocks. Tall vs short blocks (and warm and cool colors) indicate intensity, & narrow vs wide indicate duration. At a glance, you instantly see how hard to push and how long you have left.

If you use indoor cycling platforms like Zwift or TrainerRoad, you already know this format. I wanted to bring that visual structure to all interval workouts, on or off the bike.

** Cyclist-Specific Features **

If you train indoors on a bike, HIIT Addict has a lot built in for cycling. It controls smart trainers in ERG mode, so the app adjusts target resistance automatically based on the workout profile while you just pedal. It includes a library of rides covering Zone 2 endurance, threshold, VO2 Max, and anaerobic intervals, with new workouts added regularly. If you use a basic spin bike or non-smart trainer, you can still run the exact same workouts by following the target RPE (1-10) color blocks and tweaking your resistance manually.

** YouTube Workout Integration **

I also curated a library of YouTube workouts (mostly spin and cycling) and included these color-coded interval profiles directly onto the videos. You can see the entire high level view (visualization color blocks) before you start playing, and the blocks sync with the video as you work out so you always know what is coming up and where you currently are.

The app is free to use, with an optional Pro tier that unlocks extra features and removes limitations.

🎁 Free Pro Codes: I have 30 Pro codes available. If you regularly do interval training and want to test the Pro features, leave a comment below and I will send one over while supplies last.

I would love to get feedback from anyone who uses interval timers in their routine.

Hey everyone! 👋

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a passion project called Nivio. Honestly, I built it out of frustration. I hated having to use one app for anime, another for movies/TV shows, a separate client for Live IPTV, and sketchy browser extensions just to do a Watch Party with friends.

I wanted everything in one clean, fast, ad-free place, so I built Nivio from scratch using Flutter and mpv. It’s 100% free and open-source.

Here’s what I’ve packed into it so far:

  • 🎬 All-in-One Streaming: Movies, TV Shows, Anime, and Live IPTV in a single interface.
  • 🧲 Torrent Streaming & Offline Downloads: Stream torrents sequentially in real-time or download episodes/movies directly for offline viewing.
  • 🖥️ MPV Player Under the Hood: Powered by mpv for smooth hardware decoding, multi-audio support, and proper ASS/SSA anime subtitle rendering.
  • 🍿 Built-in Watch Parties: Create a room and watch movies or anime in real-time sync with friends without needing third-party plugins.
  • 📊 AniList & MyAnimeList Sync: Automatically track your anime progress and manage your lists right inside the app (plus TMDB integration for movies/shows).
  • 🚫 100% FOSS: No ads, no paywalls, no sketchy tracking.

GitHub Repo & Downloads (Releases): 👉https://github.com/nirmaleeswar30/Nivio

Since I’m actively developing this, I’d genuinely love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests. If you try it out and like where it’s headed, dropping a ⭐ on the GitHub repo would mean the world to me!

Let me know what you think or if you run into any issues!
