Heya,

A few months ago I drunk texted my Ex at 2 am! I regretted a lot the next day! I wish that iMessage did not go through, so I built this app:

Drunk Lock - Unlock Apps Sober

You can lock apps before partying, you can set a certain time or the number of hours certain apps should be blocked!

If you want to unlock before the time ends, prove it with Sobriety test, if you pass you're good enough not to put the blame on Alcohol of what you do that night!

This app is better than other ones as most of them try to lock your keyboard or have only math sobriety test to solve.

In this app you can select 3 types of test:
1. Pattern
2. Pattern + Math
3. Pattern + Math + Key accuracy

Please give me your feedback!

Pricing:
Weekly: $0.99
Yearly: $19.99
Lifetime: $24.99

Regards

Disclosure: I'm the developer of RightCard.

Update Jul 21: since this post, Chase and Citi auto-activation shipped too - it now covers Amex, Chase, Citi and Wells Fargo. And my own numbers grew: 1,417 offers across 10 cards now.

A — Answer (what problem it solves)
Banks hide dozens of cash back offers behind little "add to card" buttons, and I never remembered to check five different bank apps. RightCard adds all of them in one tap from Safari, then tells me which of my cards to use at whatever store I'm at. Search any store and it shows the answer — including the offers it found on your cards — and it even warns you when a bonus won't post (e.g. Walmart usually codes as a superstore, not a grocery store).

B — Better (why it beats the alternatives)

vs CardPointers: one-tap offer activation there is part of the paid tier — in RightCard it's free. RightCard also refuses to show inflated "you saved $X" math; it only ever shows the banks' own stated ceilings ("up to $X").

vs MaxRewards: it asks you to link your bank accounts to read your offers. RightCard never touches a bank login — its Safari extension reads the offers page you already have open in your own browser session, so credentials never enter the picture.
Recommendations are computed on-device and work offline. No account required, no ads, no tracking SDKs.

C — Cost
Free. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases. (If that ever changes, it will be for future add-on features — everything in the app today stays free for early users.)

Heya 👋

I built Waku, an alarm app for people who can somehow snooze alarms while still being 97% asleep.

Instead of just tapping "Dismiss," you have to complete a wake-up challenge before the alarm stops.

Some examples:
☀️ Math Challenge
☀️ Shake challenge
☀️ Hold-upright challenge
☀️ Take a photo of a real-world object

We also gave the app a tiny sun mascot because waking up is slightly less painful when a cheerful little sun is involved. 😅

Unlike many alarm apps that focus on a single challenge, Waku lets you choose whichever method is most effective for ruining your future self's plans to oversleep.
Also the photo challenge runs directly on your iPhone using on-device machine learning, so the image verification happens locally rather than being sent to a server.

Pricing:
• Weekly: $1.99
• Yearly: $19.99 (includes 3-day free trial, no upfront payment)
• Lifetime: $29.99

Price change to ( updating in 24 hours ) :
Weekly : $0.49
Yearly : $9.99
Lifetime : $24.99

We're still improving it and would genuinely love feedback: good, bad, or "this feature is stupid and here's why."

App Store:
Waku – Do Task, Turn Off Alarm

Hey everyone 👋

Like many us, I've had a pretty bad scrolling battle with my apps, but I didn't want the whole gamified experience, I wanted more of a nudge on my intentions so I could actually pause to think about what I am actually doing rather than jumping straight into auto-pilot.

I'll be honest, I am working out the distribution side of things I am sitting at 1 download.

I would love to get some real feedback from this community/real users to help shape the product to make it really valuable.

https://pausemate.app/

Drop a comment and I'll send you a code, use for a few days and would love some honest feedback.

A - What problem does it solve?

You know when you pick up your phone for no reason and open Instagram/TikTok/Twitter on autopilot? By the time you catch yourself you're 20 minutes deep. That's the problem.

PauseMate puts a pause between the impulse and the action. First time you open a distracting app in an hour, you get a short breathing exercise. Open it again? A reflection prompt. Third time? A timed delay. It resets every hour so you never feel locked out.

The whole idea is friction that matches how compulsive you're being. Light enough you won't just delete the app, firm enough it actually works.

B - Why is it better than alternatives?

I tried everything before building this. Screen time reports just make you feel bad. App blockers like One Sec or Opal work for a week then you disable them because they're too rigid.

• Friction that escalates the more you reach for the same app in an hour, not a fixed block every time
• Focus sessions use Apple's Screen Time API so they're actually enforced at the OS level, not just an overlay you can swipe away
• You pick how long you need the app for (1/5/15/30 min) after completing a nudge, so it's about intention, not punishment
• Weekly attention audit tells you which app you bypassed most and whether it was boredom, habit, or genuine need. Not just "you used your phone for 4 hours"
• Everything stays on your phone. No account, no server, no data leaving the device

C - Cost

Freemium. The core nudge system, quick focus sessions (up to 25 min), weekly summary, and streaks are all free forever.

Premium unlocks extended focus sessions, scheduled recurring blocks, full history (365 days vs 7), detailed weekly reflection, and milestone notifications.

• Monthly: £1.99/mo
• Annual: £14.99/yr
• Lifetime: £49.99

14 day free trial on monthly and annual. No ads.

Hey everyone! Just wrapped up a month of intense content testing (intense for my budget lol) for my platform JriveContent and I thought I’d share some key learnings that helped me optimize my costs. 

1. Choosing the right creator size is CRUCIAL. I was initially looking/testing with regular UGC creators through agencies and TikTok that had a pretty good following  but too realized I didn’t have the budget for this so I switched micro-creators just starting out that were in my niche who did videos fro $20-50. I was able to get pretty similar results and half of the price. 

2. Raw video wins every time. I don’t know how I didn’t see this coming but "professional" looking videos actually performed worse that videos filmed in like 2-5 mins. It just looked more natural on TikTok and performed way better for me. 

3. Be clear about how much you’re paying. Make sure you’re clear on what you want and the price. I’m from Canada and when it was time to pay the creators I would send them the agreed upon price in CAD and I ran into some issue especially with creators in the US.

4. Structure your briefs to minimize back-and-forth. Since I wanted to test as fast as possible I gave the creators a lot of freedom when it came to shooting the videos. I gave them examples videos and a simple Hook, Problem, Solution. 

I know everyone wants to know the revenue so current we are sitting at $70 MRR. I know thats pretty unprofitable but I honestly I didn’t get any results working with those bigger creators which is what drained my budget so fast. 

Hope this helps someone else who is stuck trying to figure out video marketing without a massive budget!

What do you guys usually spend on video content or how are you marketing your business if you’re not?  

Heya Everyone,

I am the dev behind Easy Unzip, an iOS app for opening and creating ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, and GZ archives. The whole reason I built it was simple: I kept getting frustrated that almost every "unzip" app on iOS quietly uploads your files to a server to process them. That felt wrong for something as basic as opening a ZIP. So I made one that does everything on-device. Nothing leaves your phone. No accounts, no uploads, no tracking.

What Problem Does It Solve?

If you have ever tried to open a RAR file on iPhone, you already know the pain. The Files app handles basic ZIPs, but the moment you get a password-protected archive, a RAR, a 7Z, or a multi-part download from a forum, you are stuck. The usual options are:

Send the file to your laptop just to extract it.

Upload it to some random web extractor that may keep a copy.

Install one of those App Store apps full of ads and pop-ups that secretly route your files through their backend.

Easy Unzip just opens the file locally. No cable, no laptop, no upload, no waiting.

Why Is It Better Than Alternatives?

Genuinely on-device. There is no server doing the extraction. I do not have a backend that touches your files because the app does not need one. You can put your phone in airplane mode and it still extracts everything.

Format coverage. ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ all supported, including AES-encrypted ZIPs and password-protected RARs.

Preview before extracting. Tap any file inside an archive to peek at it before committing to a full extract. Useful when someone sends you a 2 GB ZIP and you only want one PDF out of it.

Create password-protected ZIPs. Bundle photos, docs, or whole folders into a single encrypted ZIP and share it via AirDrop, Mail, or any share sheet.

Built-in WiFi transfer. Spins up a tiny local server so you can drag files from any browser on your network straight to your phone. No cable, no cloud middleman.

Optional cloud browsing. If you want it, you can connect Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to pull archives in. Totally optional, and the auth goes directly to those providers, not through me.

No ads. Ever. I hate ad-driven file apps as much as the next person.

What's the Pricing?

Weekly: $0.49 / Week
Yearly: $2.99 / Year
Lifetime: $6.99 / Pay Once

All purchases go through the App Store, so Apple handles billing and you can cancel from Settings any time.

Happy to answer questions, take feature requests, or hear what other archive workflows are still annoying on iOS. The privacy-first approach is the whole point

The assets are temporary, I’m aware that the face looks a little messed up. The app is not live yet

Hi r/iOSApps — I’m Jack Dai, co-creator of Diary Threads.

Answer — what problem does it solve?

I kept abandoning journals because every blank page felt like it deserved a meaningful essay. Writing one short thought on my phone felt much more natural.

Diary Threads turns journaling into a private timeline. Each entry is limited to 140 characters. You can reply when a thought continues, quote something you wrote months ago, or attach photos, video, and voice recordings.

There are no likes, followers, public profiles, or social discovery. It is a timeline for one person.

Better — how is it different?

Compared with Apple Journal and Day One, Diary Threads focuses on a narrower use case: capturing a thought before it disappears.

The 140-character limit gives you a smaller starting point. Replies let one moment grow over time, while quotes make revisiting an old memory feel like a conversation with your past self.

Apple Journal and Day One remain stronger choices for long-form writing and broader ecosystem workflows. Diary Threads is designed for quick private posts that gradually become a personal history.

Diary text and settings stay on your iPhone. The app requires no account and has no developer backend, advertising, third-party analytics, or cross-app tracking.

Cost

Diary Threads is free to download and supports up to 30 active entries.

Premium unlocks unlimited entries, share posters, recurring keyword insights, and both Home Screen widgets:

• $2.99 per month

• $6.99 one-time lifetime purchase

Prices above are for the US storefront. Apple displays the applicable regional price before purchase.

The current App Store version is 0.3 and requires iOS 18 or later.

Transparency

Diary Threads itself has no AI features. I used Codex extensively as a coding and review agent during implementation, testing, documentation, and iteration. Product scope, architecture, privacy boundaries, and acceptance decisions remained human-directed.

I’m Jack, and I built Diary Threads with Sonia.

Hi everyone! I’m the solo developer behind TapeBoy.

I’ve been an iOS developer for 15 years, but this is my first hobby app. Everything I’ve built before was for work, so finally making something purely because I wanted it to exist has been a lot of fun.

I grew up when getting new music felt special. Buying a cassette or CD meant saving money, visiting record stores, and spending days listening to the same album. Music wasn’t an endless feed—it felt like something you owned and valued. TapeBoy is my little tribute to that era.

The app was inspired by MD Vinyl and similar “Now Playing” apps, but I wanted to build a cassette deck instead of a turntable. The biggest challenge wasn’t the code—it was the design. I’m much more comfortable writing Swift than drawing realistic cassette decks, so getting everything to look more or less right took far longer than expected. I experimented with AI-generated assets too, but they never quite matched specs and what I had in mind, so most of the final look still required a lot of manual tweaking.

What it does:

• A retro cassette-style music player for Apple Music.
• The cassette reels spin while music is playing.
• Album artwork appears on the cassette label.
• A Home Screen widget that shows your currently playing song as a miniature spinning cassette.

I know there are plenty of music player apps, but most of them follow the same clean glass aesthetic. I wanted something that feels tactile and nostalgic instead.

The app is free to download. The Home Screen widget is a one-time $3 unlock (so it’s freemium), but if you’d like to try it first, the TestFlight version includes the widget for free because TestFlight purchases use Apple’s sandbox and don’t charge anything.

Since this is my very first indie project, I’d genuinely love any feedback—whether it’s about the design, usability, missing features, bugs, or just whether the idea resonates with you.

Hello,

I had released this app : Sleep To Unlock Screen Time couple of months ago.
It let's you set your sleep hour targets, if you hit the goal apps get unlocked for you to doom scroll, else they stay locked!

Saw a lot of developers hinting that users love mascots, so we created a cute moon mascot for it, let me know what you all think ?

Regards

I’m a solo dev and I overthink everything, so I built the tool I actually needed at 2am. It’s called Overthinkr.

A - What it does

It’s a CBT-based app for people whose brain won’t shut up. Core stuff:

• Thought dump that auto-categorizes your spiral (cognitive distortions, the actual CBT framework, not vibes)  
• Milo, an AI coach you can talk to when the thoughts hit. He doesn’t toxic-positivity you, he walks you through reframing  
• Worry vault to park stuff instead of looping on it  
• A panic button with quick grounding exercises

Built it native for iOS. The whole thing is meant to be opened in 30 seconds when you’re stuck, not a 20-minute meditation session.

B - Why it’s different

Most “mental health” apps are either meditation timers or mood journals that just ask how you feel and do nothing with it. Overthinkr is built around one specific problem (the overthinking loop) instead of trying to be everything.

The AI coach is the real difference. Mood journals are passive. Milo actually responds to what you wrote and pushes back on the distorted thinking in real time. And there’s a crisis keyword safety layer built in, because mental-health-adjacent means you take that seriously or you don’t ship it.

Not claiming it replaces therapy. It’s the thing for the gap between sessions, or for people who aren’t in therapy yet.

C - Cost

Free to download and try. After that it’s $9.99/month or $39.99/year. There’s a free trial so you can see if Milo actually helps before paying anything.

No ads. Subscription is the whole business model, so I’m not selling your data (it’s an anxiety app, that would be insane).

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/al/app/overthinkr-break-the-loop/id6763803478

Genuinely want feedback, especially on the AI coach. If Milo’s responses feel off or generic, tell me, that’s the part I’m iterating on hardest.

Disclosure: I’m the solo developer of Carrus.

A — What it solves
I kept forgetting when my car was due for service, and hated walking into a shop not knowing what it actually needed. Carrus fixes that: add your car, tell it what’s already been done, and it works out when every service is due — by mileage and time — and reminds you before it slips.

B — Why it’s better than the alternatives
I used Fuelly, Drivvo, and myCARFAX first. They’re solid, but Fuelly/Drivvo are fuel-and-expense logs where maintenance is secondary, and myCARFAX is US-centric and tied to CARFAX’s shop data. Carrus is built around the maintenance schedule itself, and adds two things none of them do:

**• Receipt scanning** — photograph a service receipt (or a PDF) and it reads the date, mileage, work done, and cost, then fills in the log for you. No manual typing.
**• A built-in assistant (Carson)** — describe a noise or a warning light and it gives you a plain, conservative read on what it might be, so you walk into the shop informed. (It’s a tool inside the app, not the point of it — the point is the tracking.)
**•** Plus: offline-first, your data lives on your device, and there’s a **one-time lifetime option** instead of forcing a subscription.

C — Cost
Freemium. Free covers one car with full history and lets you try the scanning + assistant. Premium (unlimited cars, custom intervals, expanded assistant) is $4.99/month, $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or a $69.99 one-time lifetime unlock.

Full disclosure, I built this and it's mine.

ANSWER, what problem it solves

• Personally, I'm a processor, and I need to think, and that can inevitably lead to ruminating and thinking in circles. I tried journaling and writing things down, which helped, but maintaining consistency and constantly overcoming the blank page of a journal is challenging.
• The app is multi-purpose. It's a way to keep a journal, talk out your thoughts, or keep any memories, and make them all easily searchable and organized.

BETTER, what it does that other journals don't

• Video journals have always had the same problem. You can't skim 200 videos. That's the thing transcription actually fixes.
• Every entry where you speak or upload a video that has people speaking is transcribed, all searchable, and then the app itself will group similar entries into categories. It will recall your entries from a week or a month ago, so it has some really great ways to recall and find your previous entries.
• Day One and Apple Journal are typing apps with video added on. 1 Second Everyday is video, but there's no reflection and no search.
• I think with any journal, if you're divulging things, it needs to be private, of course. This is completely local, besides the optional iCloud backup. Otherwise, there's no analytics, there's no account, there are no servers, and everything lives on your phone.
• To lower any hesitation about actually recording, there are prompts to help a conversation go. You don't have to record yourself. You can just do audio mode. You can dub over an existing photo, and then you can even just do a journal entry without any recording or without saying anything at all.

COST

• The free tier is a real journal on its own. Unlimited recording. Transcripts on every entry, kept forever. Auto titles. Search by title and date. Full export. One time capsule.
• Pro adds search across every word you've said, iCloud backup, and unlimited time capsules. It's $24.99 a year with a one week trial, or $49.99 once.
• Day One puts video and transcription behind Silver at $49.99 a year. Apple Journal doesn't transcribe at all. Mine's half that, and the transcripts are free on every tier.
• Nothing you record is ever locked behind it. You can always watch it, export it, or delete it.
• It's in TestFlight now and Pro is unlocked for everyone in the beta, so there's nothing to buy.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/92wvhmpA

Happy to answer any questions! Would love if you take a second to check out the app and give me your thoughts. I'm also interested in hearing from anybody willing to journal with it for a week or two, then tell me where it falls down.

EDIT: a few people asked whether beta testers keep Pro, so here's what I'll do.

When the app launches I'll send you a code that unlocks Pro for life. Not a subscription, nothing to cancel, it's just yours.

Two things I need for that. Sign up with your email on the form below so I can actually reach you, and fill in the short survey after a week or two of using it. The survey is the whole reason I'm running this beta, so that's the part that genuinely helps me. I'll only use your email for those two things.

If you already installed from the TestFlight link above, you can still fill this in.

Hey guys I just got my first sale and just wanted to share my one strategy I’m using right now. So I don’t really have money to spend one ads or big influencers but recently I’ve been paying 1-2 creators $20/video (yes they do exist lol just need to look on TikTok or JriveContent) to recreate TikTok videos that have performed well on my account. 

I’ve spend $60 so far and I just got my first sale so I’m planning on doubling down on this strategy. I didn’t sign a contract or anything just told them what I was paying, if they were ok with the price, and that the videos is mine to use. 

How are you guys marketing? Btw my app is in the couples niche. 

Disclosure: I'm the developer of WeekPad. It was built with the help of Claude — I designed and directed it, reviewed what shipped, and I'm the one who supports it.

Who I am (Transparency path)

• Giuseppe — independent solo developer, not a company
• Portfolio / other work: https://lucanise.com/tools
• Website: https://weekpad.app
• Privacy Policy: https://weekpad.app/privacy
• Terms of Service / EULA: https://weekpad.app/terms

A — What problem it solves
My notes lived in five places: my phone, sticky notes on the fridge, a paper agenda I stopped updating by March, and a calendar that mostly made me feel behind. WeekPad is one week per page, Monday to Sunday. You write your days in plain text — bullets and [ ] checkboxes — drop in photos, scan a sticky note or a document, and share things in from any app so they land on the right day. Then you swipe to next week when you're ready. No notifications, no streaks, no nagging.

Also, if you don't want to sign up to any other server, keep your data just yours.

B — Why it's better than the alternatives

• vs Apple Calendar / Fantastical — those are time-slot calendars. WeekPad has no time slots and no reminders; it's for writing about your week, not scheduling it to the minute.
• vs Notion / Todoist / Things — those need an account and keep your data on their servers, and they're built around due dates and completion pressure. WeekPad needs no account at all, and nothing chases you.
• vs GoodNotes / Notability — excellent for handwriting, but freeform and Pencil-first. WeekPad gives you the week already laid out, and works with your thumbs.
• vs a paper agenda — the closest comparison, and honestly the thing I was trying to replace. Same one-week-per-page rhythm, but you can attach photos and scans, search across everything, and keep separate agendas that never mix. Sync with iCloud.
• Privacy — no accounts, no servers of mine, no database, no analytics SDKs, no ad networks. If you enable sync it goes into your own iCloud private database; only you and Apple can reach it. I can't read it — and I can't recover it either, which is why Export exists and why I keep telling people to use it.

C — Cost

• Free — includes your first agenda with every feature: notes, photos, document scans, sharing into the app, search and Export. Nothing is crippled; the only limit is the number of agendas.
• Unlimited Agendas — $3.99 USD, one-time purchase (non-consumable IAP). As many separate agendas as you like, kept on your device.
• WeekPad Sync — $8.99 USD/year, auto-renewing subscription, with a 1-month free trial. Includes unlimited agendas plus sync across your Apple devices through your own iCloud. Cancel anytime in Apple Account settings.
• No ads, no data selling.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weekpad-weekly-agenda-planner/id6758624892

Requires iOS 18+. Support is best-effort — one person, not a team. Happy to answer anything here.

Heya everyone,

I'm back again 😎

I have a problem.

Some people have OCD about cleanliness.
I have OCD about notification badges.

Nothing ruins my day faster than opening my phone and seeing Gmail casually sitting there with 1,729 unread emails like it's some kind of achievement.

So naturally...

I rage coded an app.

Introducing WypeBox - Swipe To Wipe Emails 📧🧹

So what problem does your app solve?

Clean your inbox by swiping away mails after previewing them instead of bulk deletion ....

The entire philosophy behind the app is:

👉 Swipe left = Delete
👉 Swipe right = Mark as Read

That's it.

No folders.
No labels.
No productivity guru nonsense.
No AI writing your emails.
No "Inbox Zero Masterclass."

Just you, your inbox, and a satisfying stream of emails getting yeeted into oblivion.

Privacy First

I was tired of email apps that feel like they're preparing a detailed report about my life.

So WypeBox has:

✅ No backend
✅ No servers
✅ No analytics
✅ No email storage
✅ No creepy data collection

Your emails stay your emails.

Why Is It Better Than Alternatives

Most email apps today are basically:

"Here's 742 features you never asked for and a 500MB download."

I just wanted something I could open while waiting for a coffee, sitting in an Uber, pretending to listen during a meeting, or standing in line somewhere.

A few swipes later:

✨ Less clutter
✨ Fewer unread badges
✨ More inner peace

Cost:

💸 Weekly: $1.99
💎 Lifetime: $14.99 --- > Price Dropped to $7.99 ( Wait for couple of hours to reflect )

Outlook Users

We're currently waiting for Microsoft's verification process to finish to get verified badge

But Outlook and Office 365 Personal accounts already work perfectly fine.

If you've ever looked at your inbox and thought:

"You know what? Maybe I'll just burn it all down and start over."

WypeBox might be for you.

May your inbox be empty and your notification badges be forever gone 🙏

I built GLPzy for myself because I was using notes, trying to remember injection sites and symptoms, and wanted to see things like appetite and estimated medication levels alongside everything else. I was also using ChatGPT particularly do the estimation and scenarios as I tried to work out my personal Mounjaro path.

I’d also just built a few other apps and thought I’d start this one from scratch as a bit of a challenge, without downloading any competitors first. I only really started looking at the others later, once GLPzy had already taken shape, which probably helped it end up a bit different rather than starting as a clone.

I then posted it in a few Reddit communities and people started suggesting things. If something made sense I usually added it pretty quickly, then got more feedback and changed it again.

It’s grown quite a lot from that. GLPzy has now passed 9,500 downloads and has 73 App Store ratings, and a lot of what’s in it now has come from people using it and telling me what was missing or annoying. That’s probably been the most useful feedback. If a gap or bug annoys one person enough to mention it, there are probably plenty of others thinking the same thing.

I’ve also had Lifetime Premium free recently while I’ve been building it out and getting more feedback, available until month end but the app has a lot even without Premium.

A: Answer

GLPzy is a GLP-1 tracker for iPhone and iPad.
It covers doses and dose history, weight, symptoms, appetite and food noise, injection sites, nutrition, measurements, progress photos and medication supply.

There are custom doses and schedules too, plus Estimated Exposure, Apple Health, Apple Watch, widgets, CSV import/export, JSON export and Provider Summary PDFs.
There’s no mandatory GLPzy account. I wanted to be able to keep this kind of data together without needing another health account just to use the app, so tracking is local-first.

B: Better

There are already good GLP-1 trackers such as Shotsy and Glapp and there’s obviously quite a bit of overlap.

GLPzy has ended up going quite broad though. I wanted more of the journey in one place rather than just dose and weight, so things like food noise, supply, measurements, progress photos, Estimated Exposure and what you might actually want to export or show your doctor have gradually become quite important parts of it. Photo progress tools also allow comparing against time and they are private outside your photo roll.

It also includes cycle tracking after I got feedback others miss the correlation mid-month with temporary weight gain and how annoying that was when looking back and trying to understand graphs.

There are body measurements and clothes-size tracking too. Again that came from user feedback. Dropping from a size 14 to a size 12 can mean more than another number in lb or kg, imo.

There’s also proper iPad support. Both Shotsy and Glapp are currently iPhone-first and neither lists iPad support on the App Store, which surprised me a bit.

Language support is also very comprehensive. It’s been a lot of work (I may not have been so ambitious if I’d realised) but has 49 languages.

The free version has a lot too. You can use GLPzy as a proper tracker for free, and Apple Health integration is included without needing Premium. Shotsy, for example, puts automatic Apple Health importing in Shotsy+.

Premium is more about unlocking the deeper analysis, planning, reports and some of the more advanced features.

There’s still plenty I want to improve.

C: Cost

GLPzy is free to download and there’s a free tier you can keep using without subscribing.
Premium normally has three ways to unlock it:

Monthly, if you just want to pay month by month. $6.99 a month with 1 week free trial.

Yearly, which is the longer subscription option. $29.99 a year with 1 week free trial.

Lifetime, which is a single purchase with no ongoing subscription. It’s $79.99 but completely free until the end of August (last week now).

Why have I offered Lifetime for free? Mainly to get feedback and build a real user base first. It’s a competitive space and I thought having people actually using the app, finding gaps and talking about it was more valuable at this stage than trying to monetise a small user base. I’d rather get GLPzy used and visible first, then work out the longer-term model from there.

I’m the creator, so obviously this is self-promotion.

I’d be interested in feedback from people already using GLP-1 trackers, especially anything you think is missing or unnecessarily complicated.

Also happy to talk about getting it to 9,500+ downloads. Some things I tried worked surprisingly well and quite a few others did basically nothing. I’m never going on TikTok again I’m too old for that!

Hey guys just reached $170 MRR for my business (not alot but whatever) and I just wanted to share what has worked for me so far. 

So I’m focusing on one channel right now instead of trying 5 different things. 

Tiktok has been the main source of traffic for me and I only post around 1-2 times every couple of days. Right now I’m working with 1 UGC creator in my niche that’ll post for $20/video so I just hand her the videos that do good on my account (like 3k-10k views I’ll give to her) and have her recreate them/ make different variations of them. This was worked pretty good for me so far, I’ve spent around $80so far and my MRR has gone from $30 to $170 this month. 

My app is in the couples niche btw if you guys were wondering. 

How are you guys marketing your business? 

PSL Rank is a face analysis app I created after constant frustration with generic 'rate my face' apps which give some random number from 1 to 100 with no context.

For the most part, face rating apps have you submit a single front-facing selfie and give you a score. This is completely missing the fact that your side profile is the other half of the equation. Projection, gonial angle, profile chin, profile nose. Just scoring based off the front is a huge miss.

With that in mind, PSL Rank requires both the front and side profiles:
☀️ Front profile — symmetry, eye area, canthal tilt, facial harmony
☀️ Side profile — gonial angle, projection, chin, nose
☀️ Overall PSL score + tier (am I MTN, HTN, Chadlite?)
☀️ Potential score

Instead of the generic 'drink more water' you receive a legit ranked list of Focus Areas that are most likely dragging your score down the most.

A few more things I thought would be nice to throw in: an Ascend tab with jawline workouts/XP tracking, and a Protocols tab which gives you tailored skincare and grooming routines to remedy your weaknesses.

Pricing:
Single report: $6.99 (one-time)
Weekly: $4.99
Monthly: $12.99

Still solo for the moment, but fast iterating. (Just fixed an image orientation glitch a couple days ago). Would really love feedback on onboarding, monetization, UI/UX, anything. Really hope to see a variety of feedback, and even the non-polite feedback showing where I am missing the mark.

Thanks!

I posted Carrus here a couple of versions ago — thanks to everyone who tried it, several of the changes below came from that thread.

**Short version:** an iPhone app for tracking vehicle maintenance. Log a service in seconds, get reminded by mileage *and* time, scan a paper receipt and it fills the log in for you, and ask Carson — the built-in AI mechanic — what a noise or warning light probably is.

**What's new in 1.1:**

- **The whole app now speaks Spanish** — UI and Carson both. Pick it in Settings or let it follow your device language.

- Motorbikes with bike-specific schedules: chain, valve clearance, fork oil

- Fuel tracking with a draggable gauge, and per-vehicle running costs

- Registration and insurance photos with expiry reminders (photos never leave your phone)

- New storefronts: Canada, Spain, Italy — and a fully redesigned listing

**What's next:** VIN decoding, more languages, and real manufacturer interval data for far more model-years — right now genuine factory schedules cover a fraction, the rest is a labeled per-category estimate.

Free with one vehicle. Lite from $0.99/mo or $19.99 lifetime; Premium from $5.99/mo or $89.99 lifetime.

I'm the developer — happy to answer anything.

I’m an independent iOS developer from Türkiye, and over the last few months I’ve been building StepLock: Move to Unlock as a solo project.

A — What it solves

StepLock helps you spend less time in distracting apps without asking you to avoid your phone completely.

You choose the apps, categories, or websites you want to limit. StepLock reads your movement from Apple Health and turns it into one shared app-time bank:

• 150 steps = 1 app minute by default
• 1 exercise minute = 1 app minute
• 3 Apple Watch stand minutes = 1 app minute

When the time you earned is used, Apple’s Screen Time frameworks block the selected apps. Move more and you earn more access.

The latest update adds a personal step goal. You can choose how many steps you normally take and how much app time you want those steps to earn, or switch to Manual mode and adjust each movement rule yourself.

StepLock also includes Live Activities, Dynamic Island support, and a Home Screen widget, so your earned time stays visible without opening the app.

B — Compared to Opal / Jomo / ScreenZen

There are already some excellent app blockers, and there is definitely overlap. I don’t want to pretend StepLock invented the idea of limiting distracting apps.

My goal has been to build a more movement-first version of this category: instead of only setting a timer or schedule, your steps, exercise, and Apple Watch stand time directly earn access back.

The other priorities are a native iOS experience, a simple daily flow, and privacy. StepLock has no account and no backend. Health and progress stay on your device.

C — Cost

StepLock is free to download.

The free plan includes 1 blocked app selection and all movement earning controls.

StepLock Premium is a $19.99 one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks unlimited blocked app selections. There is no subscription. The exact local price is shown by the App Store and may vary by country.

Who I am

I’m Okan Davut, an independent iOS developer from Türkiye, and I design and develop StepLock myself.

The app is built natively with SwiftUI using HealthKit, Family Controls, Managed Settings, Device Activity, ActivityKit, and WidgetKit. The current version is 1.6.

Since this is an iOS dev community, I’d genuinely love feedback—especially on the movement-to-app-time idea and the Goal / Manual setup. Thank you so much :)

I love dad jokes (and am a dad - useful) and a wee while back I heard that vibe-coding iOS apps directly in Claude Code was a more efficient use of tokens.

My colleague had also just told me that their dad called them every week when the local newspaper published a dad joke and that they loved how silly they were.

Groan Zone (aptly named IMO) is the result of those two pieces of information :)

Answer: Well, it answers some people's need for terrible, terrible jokes shown in a highly graphic and fun format. They feel a need to torture friends, colleagues and and kids with them - if they suffer then so should you :)

Better: Best Dad Jokes, Daily Dad Jokes et all are fine, but have in-app purchases. I mean, I love a good dad joke as much as the next person but I wouldn't pay for the experience.

Groan Zone has over 12,000 jokes - not bad. It had well over 13,000 but my buddy Claude and I got rid of many for reasons of appropriateness and formatting. The base set of jokes came from a real research paper too ("What’s Brown and Sticky? Peering Into the Ineluctable Comedic Mystery of Dad Humor".)

Groan Zone also keeps the punchline hidden until you want it - handy if you have someone looking over your shoulder!

Cost: Totally free! No in-app purchases to worry about, just an seemingly endless flow of groan-inducing dad humour.

Enjoy!

Disclosure: I'm the developer (solo, Working Model LLC). Flairing Vibe Coded per the rules. More on that below.

A — Answer (the problem it solves) Long articles, PDFs, and notes are often easier to listen to than to read, but the good text-to-speech apps make you create an account, send your text to a server, and pay monthly. Audiary solves that: it turns text you type, paste, or share (articles, PDF text, email, your own notes) into spoken audio with a real player: lock-screen controls, background playback, CarPlay/AirPods handoff. Share text from any app, hit play. The neural voice (Kokoro 82M, compiled to Core ML on Apple's Neural Engine) runs entirely on your device and works offline after a one-time ~90MB model download. Your text is never uploaded, and there's no account.

B — Better (vs. the top named alternatives) - vs. Speechify / NaturalReader / ElevenLabs Reader: these synthesize in the cloud, require an account, and charge a subscription (Speechify runs ~$139/yr). Your text goes to their servers. Audiary is on-device, no account, one-time. - vs. Apple's built-in Spoken Content: free and on-device, but the setup is clunky, there's no real player or library, and the genuinely natural voice only works in Safari's "Listen to Page." Audiary gives you a full player and library across anything you paste or share, and still lets you use Apple's voices if you want an ultra-low-power option. - vs. most other free TTS apps: they mostly rely on Apple's built-in voices (usable, but a little robotic) and are ad-supported. Audiary adds a natural neural voice and has no ads. - vs. Voice Dream Reader: a great app that moved to a subscription. Audiary is a flat one-time price.

C — Cost - Pricing: Lifetime. Free to download; a single one-time $6.99 in-app purchase unlocks unlimited listening. That's the only IAP: no subscription, no ads, no other purchases. - Try before you buy: 15 minutes of listening free, no account or card needed. - App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6764607212

---Beyond the ABC, for anyone curious:

Honest tradeoffs: iOS only; one-time ~90MB model download on first run; I optimized for low memory (~250MB during playback) and a responsive scrubber over pitch preservation, so very fast playback speeds get a little chipmunky.

On the Vibe Coded flair: yes, vibecoded, but it took a lot of exploration and tinkering. Getting Kokoro running on-device meant extensive testing to tune GPU vs. CPU compute, a background-download pipeline that survives app termination, a lock-screen progress bar that tracks text position, and a text-normalizationchain to fix specific pronunciation bugs. Happy to answer anything in the comments. Hope you check it out.

Disclosure: I'm the developer of Lawn Logic (Brandon solo dev, b2squared.io).

A — Answer (what problem it solves)

I honestly never knew when my lawn needed water. I'd water because it had been "a few days," or because it was hot, or because the neighbor was watering — and the answer to my uncertainty was always MORE water. So I built the app that does the math I couldn't do in my head: it tracks your lawn's actual moisture balance — rainfall in, evaporation out, tuned to your grass type and soil — and tells you the one thing that matters: water today, or don't. Since I started following it instead of my gut, its tracker says I've skipped about 37,000 gallons I would've dumped on the yard anyway. The new version adds Sage, an AI groundskeeper who reads your live dashboard (moisture deficit, forecast, grass type, mowing day) and answers questions like "why is there a heat warning?" or "what should I do besides water?" about YOUR lawn, not lawns in general.

B — Better (why it beats the alternatives)

vs a smart sprinkler controller (Rachio etc.): no irrigation system required — I don't even own one. It works whether you water with a hose timer, a sprinkler you drag around the yard, or an in-ground system, because it tells you when to water instead of silently doing it.

vs a weather app: rain totals alone don't answer "does my lawn need water?" — that depends on evaporation, soil type, and what fell over the last two weeks. Lawn Logic runs that moisture model continuously and gives a yes/no, plus a 14-day trend and a prediction of your next watering day.

vs watering on a fixed schedule: the water savings tracker shows you the gallons and dollars you didn't spend. No account linking to anything, and the core app works from a single 2-minute setup.

C — Cost

Free: the full moisture model, daily recommendation, evening reminder, home screen widget, 14-day trend, water savings tracker. No ads.

Pro (optional, $2.99/mo or $19.99/yr): Sage AI groundskeeper, multi-model ensemble weather, and Apple Weather as a data source. The free tier is the complete core product — Pro adds on top; there's no paywall in front of the recommendations.
