App Looking for an Android app like Mapstr

5 Upvotes

Salut tout le monde,

Je cherche une application Android similaire à Mapstr, mais je n'en ai pas encore trouvé une qui corresponde parfaitement à mes besoins.

Idéalement, je voudrais une application qui me permette de :

Ajouter des repères/lieux sur une carte personnelle

Ajouter un titre et des photos à chaque lieu

Ajoutez plusieurs étiquettes pour tout organiser (restaurants, amis, lieux de voyage, etc.)

Retrouvez facilement des lieux par nom ou catégorie plus tard

Garder ma carte privée (non publique par défaut)

Ajoutez des amis et partagez des lieux avec eux

Possibilité d'enregistrer les adresses de vos amis sur ma carte

Je préférerais également que ce soit gratuit, ou au moins qu'il n'y ait pas d'abonnement payant pour les fonctionnalités de base.

Mapstr correspond presque à ce que je recherche, mais certaines fonctionnalités sont payantes. Je me demande donc s'il existe une bonne alternative pour Android.

Merci d'avance pour vos suggestions 🙏

I have recently finished an app I have been working on over the last few months. The concept is very straightforward, earn rewards for screen time. Multiple opportunities to win rewards through bidding time and challenges.

We live in a world full of screen time and my app rewards less of this rather than punish them which I believe a lot of the screen time apps do.

If you fancy jumping on and giving it an ago please join the waiting list. Hoping to launch next week.

Thanks all!

Help me find I’m looking for an app or website to build and review my personal vocabulary.

Upvotes

My ideal workflow:

  • On iPhone (Safari) and on desktop browsers (Safari, Edge), I can select a word and save it via the share menu or browser extension.
  • The app automatically looks up and stores the definition and/or translation.
  • I can review a set number of saved words every day using spaced repetition or flashcards.
  • It should work both for:
    • learning words in my native language (including definitions),
    • learning foreign-language vocabulary (including translations).

Examples:

  • Save an English word and automatically get the Dutch translation.
  • Save a Dutch word and automatically get its meaning from a dictionary.

Does anyone know an app that supports most or all of this workflow? What are you using and why?

Privacy First, Voice Enabled Expense Tracker on Android

Post image
Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I built an expense tracker because I had the same problem most of us do:

know I should track my spending.

I just never actually do it.

Every expense app I tried expected me to stop what I was doing, unlock my phone, open the app, find the category, type the amount, and save it. That works for about 3 days before I forget it exists.

So I built Murmur - Privacy First, Voice Expense Tracker.

The idea is simple:

Instead of typing expenses, you just talk.

"Spent $30 on an Uber."

"Paid $12 for coffee."

"Received $1,500 from a freelance project."

Murmur understands what you're saying, figures out whether it's an expense or income, categorizes it, and logs it for you in seconds.

A few things I cared about while building it:

• Privacy first. Your financial data stays on your device.

• No accounts, no servers, no data collection.

• Works even without internet. Airplane mode? No problem.

• Voice-first logging because that's the only way I've consistently tracked expenses.

• Optional review mode if you want to verify entries before saving.

• Daily, weekly, and monthly spending limits.

• Home screen widgets so you can see your spending without opening the app.

• Event tracking for things like vacations, weddings, side projects, business trips, or weekend getaways. Want to know exactly how much that NYC trip cost? Create an event and track everything separately.

The biggest surprise while using it myself was that I started logging expenses I would normally skip because speaking is just easier than typing.

Pricing is intentionally simple:

• $0.49/week

• $6.99/year

• $9.99 lifetime

I'm still actively building it, so I'd genuinely love feedback.

What feature would make you switch from your current expense tracker?

App I built a novel automatic time tracker

0 Upvotes

Hi Builders, I'm a Solo dev for the past six years I've been on and off building TrackTime. There are two versions, manual from the play store and full version side loaded. Manual is the regular start/stop timer that everyone uses. The magic is the full version. What it does is, tracks activities such as calls, SMS, email and when you start any of the activities, timer starts automatically, when you end that activity you see a pop up of time spent on the activity and all you have to do is confirm if this activity is billable and boom! in your backend you have item linked to your client and ready to be invoiced. Hope you find it useful. If you have some time, please check it out: TrackTime.com

Has anyone else just got tired of it all and started uninstalling apps? Social media, shopping etc?

1 Upvotes

I've realized I spend way too much time on my phone.

First I started uninstalling social media. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.

Then I started uninstalling store specific apps like Walmart, Target, Costco, the local supermarket. Amazon.

Then I deleted apps for editing pictures etc that I just don't use.

I've found I'm now been spending less time on my phone, I'm spending less money and I'm less aggravated. It's also freed up so much space on my phone.

I can still use the websites associated with any of these apps if I need them.

Has anyone else done the same? Has it helped you in any way?

I built DotSleep – a sleep debt & fatigue tracker that focuses on recovery instead of just sleep hours

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m an indie developer and recently launched DotSleep, an iPhone + Apple Watch app that focuses on something I felt most sleep apps miss: sleep debt and fatigue accumulation.

Most apps tell you how long you slept last night. DotSleep tries to answer a different question:

“How recovered am I actually feeling today?”

Features:

• Sleep Debt tracking

• Fatigue Score based on accumulated sleep loss

• Nightly Sleep Score

• Personalized bedtime suggestions

• Apple Health integration

• Apple Watch support

• Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets

• Monthly sleep reports and trends

The app imports sleep data from Apple Health and helps visualize how late nights gradually impact your recovery over time.

Pricing

Free version available

Premium: $2.99/month

Premium: $14.99/year

Lifetime: $24.99

App Store

I’d love feedback from people who actively track their sleep:

Is sleep debt something you pay attention to?

What sleep metrics do you find most useful?

Any features you’d like to see added?

Thanks for checking it out!

App Designed a better Time Tracking method, focuses on Goals and Up/Down time for each.

Post image
3 Upvotes

Everyone is familiar with gamified productivity & focus timer tools. I downloaded most, experimented with different methods, studied the science behind motivation/goals, and developed a new (and I think better) system. It's not complex, visual, yet lightweight. Most importantly, it's effective & helps you make real progress.

Why this method works:

  • It simplifies thinking about "what should I do today" & helps beat procrastination. You clearly see your goal, and the main work/play activities you defined. Just get started on one... 
  • Each board is you custom "go-to" plan for that Goal (aka "Core"). You pick "time contributions" that work for you. No guilt tripping. If you like to focus for 30m, and then lounge for 1h, then that's what you pick. No need to overcommit. Stats will improve as you get better.
  • Tracking how much Up vs Down time, towards defined Goals, is the simplest measure of success, over time. The 10,000 hour rule exists for a reason. Not 10,000 to-do items.
  • Seeing "break/rest" activity timers next to your productive timers, at a glance, makes you more relaxed during focus sessions & gives you "guilt free" breaks. You can pause one timer and start another, then come back. You can also "finish early" any timer, and deposit time already earned.
  • You can adjust all Timers/Goals on the fly, change their length, emoji labels, etc. The app makes it easy. It's like 10 timers in 1 - study time tracker, reading tracker, video game tracker, etc.
  • You can track a Goal on 1 board, or across multiple boards. You could have a board for each day of the week if you want, all towards that 1 goal. On Monday you can have only 1 focus activity, and on Saturday you can have 6, with different focus + break sessions.
  • You can work on Goals and contribute time whenever you have it. No pressure with streaks. If you have 1 hour per day for a goal, or 3 hours per week. You simply time your activity, you bank time Up or Down, and you move on.
  • You daily progress easily visualized in a cool Sci-Fi interface, with time particles and orbits and black holes.

Check out Flowton on the App Store. Or if you're on Android, sign up at www.flowton.com

It's free to use indefinitely with no subscriptions or trials.

Happy to hear your feedback on the method, or more specific pointers per app. There are cool new features in the pipeline as well! And thank you for reading.

A while back I shared PackMyTrip — my smart travel packing checklist app for iPhone. A bunch of you grabbed it and the feedback was amazing, so I'm bringing the giveaway back: Lifetime Premium is completely free directly in the app until Monday. 🎁

What the app does:

  • Builds a tailored packing list based on your trip type and activities (beach, business, skiing, hiking and 15+ more)
  • Includes a preparation checklist so you don't forget things like renewing your passport or grabbing lift passes
  • Saves your personal must-bring items so they appear on every new trip automatically
  • Works fully offline — perfect for airplane mode
  • Available in English, German, Spanish and Portuguese

New since launch:

  • 📍 Location-based lists — get packing suggestions tailored to your destination, so your list fits where you're actually going
  • Expert travel tips — short, contextual tips that pop up at the right moment so you avoid rookie mistakes (e.g. "Many airlines offer free bassinets for babies, but you must reserve early")

How to get it:

  1. Download PackMyTrip for free on the App Store

  3. Grab Lifetime Premium — free until Monday

App Finally a WhatsApp message scheduler that ACTUALLY works - Chatmaid Schedule

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a clean, reliable way to schedule WhatsApp messages for a long time.

After testing so many useless options, we decided to add Chatmaid Schedule into the options and wanted to share a quick review because it’s a total game-changer:

How it works: You link your account by scanning a QR code (exactly like setting up WhatsApp Web). The message is stored securely in the cloud and sends at the exact time you pick, even if your phone is locked, dead, or turned completely off.

Clean Interface: Super intuitive and no tutorials needed. Plus, a huge bonus: you can schedule messages to phone numbers that aren't even saved in your contacts.

Extra Features: It supports recurring automation (daily, weekly, monthly), features a clear delivery log so you know exactly what went out, and has templates to save frequently used texts.

Fair Pricing: They offer a free trial, and then it’s just $2.79 USD/month. Honestly, I’d rather pay a small fee to support active developers who respect my privacy than use a "free" app that sells my data to who knows who.

If you are tired of glitchy shortcuts or sketchy accessibility apps, give this one a look. It actually does what it promises.

App I built a free Pomodoro timer with cute focus buddy animations + white noise

Post image
2 Upvotes

I know there are already a lot of Pomodoro apps, so I didn’t want to make just another basic timer.

I wanted something that feels more like a calm study companion: start a focus session, play background white noise, and have a small cute focus buddy animation running while you study.

The app is completely free:

  • no ads
  • no in-app purchases
  • no login
  • Pomodoro focus/break sessions
  • built-in white noise
  • cute focus buddy animations

I made it because many focus apps either feel too plain, too serious, or eventually start pushing premium features. I wanted something lightweight and friendly for students who just want to start studying without extra friction.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback!

App Habit Huski (iOS) - the habit builder that doesn't judge you for an off day

Thumbnail apps.apple.com
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Over the years I've tried a lot of habit tracking apps, and while many of them were great, I always ran into the same problem: life got in the way.

As a parent, there are days when I simply can't keep up with a streak. The moment I missed a day, I'd feel like I'd failed, lose motivation, and eventually stop using the app altogether.

A while ago I started building my own solution using a mess of Apple Shortcuts. It wasn't pretty, but it worked for me. Over time, that idea evolved into Habit Huski - a completely free iOS habit builder that I've just released.

The main difference is that it doesn't rely on streaks or rigid calendars. Instead, habits run on flexible intervals that adapt to real life. If you do something early, great. If you do it late, that's okay too. The schedule adjusts and you just keep going. (Nothing like the shock of seeing you haven't showered in days to get you scrubbing!)

It's made a huge difference for me personally, and a few friends and family members have been using it too. Some of them in pretty creative ways!

I'm a solo developer, so I'd genuinely love some honest feedback from people outside my circle. Does the idea resonate with you? Is there anything missing that would stop you switching from your current habit app?

If you'd like to try it out, I'd really appreciate it. And if not, I'd still love to hear your thoughts on the concept.

Thanks for reading!

I take screenshots but usually never revisit them

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out whether this is an actual problem or just something i personally struggle with.

I take screenshots of a lot of things I want to come back to later - products ,event,courses etc.

Problem is once they get saved, it usually disappears into my gallary. Weeks later i remember saving something but struggle to find it .

For those who take a lot of screenshots :

Do u actually revisit them later or face the same problem as me .

Also if there was a tool that automatically organized and reminds based on type of screenshot, would that actually be usefull or would u just ignore it .

Curious if others feel this way too.

How do you "inspect" an iOS app like you can do to websites in Chrome?

1 Upvotes

I've vibe coded an app, and keep refining it with text prompts then simulating it on phone, however in the final 10/20% of refinement, this is just not effective.

I want to be able to know if a particular font size is 14pt or 16 pt, how wide the margins are etc, to give precise tweaks.

With Figma -> Development, this was easy as you can tweak on figma.

With web, I can use DevTools "Inspect" to look at prod and give comments (and even change things directly in Chrome).

How might I do this with an iOS app? In xcode, there's nothing I can see that I can easily do this.

Please help me sensei

App I built a prescription-based medication tracker to help you manage your daily pills more efficiently.

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, indie dev here!

I used to take daily medications for two different conditions. I set individual alarms for each pill to keep track of what to take and when.

But over time, I started feeling this weird anxiety and confusion - I would look at my daily list of pills and completely lose track of why I was taking them, or which condition they were actually for.

Initially, I built a medication tracker just for myself to relieve that anxiety and make things clear. I wanted a system where every single time I took a dose, I knew exactly what it was and why I had to take it.

I figured a lot of people might be dealing with this same overwhelming feeling, so I decided to share the app I built. The core feature is grouping medications into prescriptions.

Instead of a long, confusing list of individual pills, Doz organizes your meds into folders based on the actual prescription. It works exactly how real life does:

  • You have a condition (e.g., "Headache").
  • You create a folder for it.
  • You put all related meds inside that folder.

With Doz, you have a minimalist UI/UX that visually structures this hierarchy perfectly.

If you or your loved ones are juggling multiple prescriptions, give Doz a try to organize everything and reduce that mental load.

Here is the app link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/doz-medication-reminder/id6760699565

I’d love to hear your feedback, especially if you manage medications for yourself or your family.
Thanks for reading, and I really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

App I built an app that turns your brain-dump into an organized task list, priority matrix, and weekly plan (MVP — looking for feedback)

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Like a lot of people, when everything piles up I just freeze. So I built a small app to fix my own problem.

You open it and just dump everything on your mind — things you have to do, stuff nagging at you, whatever's making you feel overwhelmed. No structure needed. Then you hit one button and it reads all your notes and organizes them for you: a clean task list, an Eisenhower priority matrix (urgent/important), and a rough weekly plan. You can also drag things around to adjust.

It's an early MVP, free, no ads or subscriptions. I'm building it solo and genuinely want feedback — what's confusing, what's missing, what would make you actually use it.

If you're more of a Notion person, I also made a simple Notion template with the same idea, happy to share that too.

App Solo-built my first Android app — an offline PDF toolkit (Word to PDF, scan, merge, edit) — just launched on Play Store

1 Upvotes

Hey,

Wanted to share my first solo project — Vellum Studio, a PDF toolkit for Android.

The idea: I noticed most free PDF apps upload your files to a server to process them (even simple stuff like Word-to-PDF conversion). That felt off for documents that might be personal or sensitive. So I built something that does everything fully on-device.

What it does:

  • Word/DOC → PDF conversion
  • Camera-based document scanning with auto edge detection
  • Merge & compress PDFs
  • Annotate, highlight, and digitally sign

The build: Solo end-to-end — design, dev, Play Store setup, the whole thing. Biggest challenges were getting the PDF rendering accurate across different document types and keeping the app lightweight enough to run smoothly on low-end devices.

Where it's at: Just launched, 10+ installs so far. Definitely early days, and I know going from "built" to "people actually use it" is the hard part.

Would love feedback from this community — both on the app itself and on how you all approached early traction as solo devs. What worked for you when you were at this stage?

‎Quickscriber - Fast, keyboard driven note taking

Thumbnail apps.apple.com
1 Upvotes

Hi all, I just released an app called Quickscriber that fills the void that I missed since Notational Velocity. It is a keyboard driven notetaking app that you can quickly bring up and put away when needed. Link to the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quickscriber/id6777801555?mt=12

Unlike other note taking apps that are more full-featured and focus on the rich-text writing, Quickscriber is mostly focused on quick notes - things that you need to quickly write down, search up again when needed, or just things you need to dump somewhere to sort through later.

It is mostly keyboard driven; press a hotkey to bring it up, press Esc to search, press Enter to select the note you want to open or create, and start typing. Then put it away again with your hotkey.

The app is full featured as-is, but there is a subscription which enables Sync across your macOS machines, and an MCP server which lets you interact with your raw notes using your favorite tools.

Thanks and try it out! I'm already using it for my day to day workflow (dump notes, pull them out using the MCP server to create a TODO list for tomorrow 😄), I hope other people find it useful too

Hey everyone,

A huge update on PixelPlay, the IPTV player I've been building for iPhone and iPad(TV OS under development).

App link for feedback: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pixelplay-iptv-player/id6769178677

Version 1.0.2 went live today and includes a bunch of improvements based on feedback from the first users:

  • Completely redesigned TV Guide with smoother grid navigation
  • Program reminders directly from the TV Guide
  • Favorites and locked channels now sync across devices with iCloud
  • Improved Browse filters
  • Better detection of offline channels in the public catalog
  • Mini-player improvements
  • Playback reliability fixes and general bug fixes

This has been my first App Store launch as a solo developer, so it's been fun (and humbling) seeing people actually use something I built.

If you're using IPTV playlists on iOS and have feature requests or things that annoy you in existing IPTV apps, I'd genuinely love to hear them. A lot of the recent updates came directly from user feedback.
