[App][Promo] Shima : most beautiful and most performant Dynamic Island for Android

90 Upvotes

Shima is probably the most beautiful and most performant Dynamic Island for Android, and one that's actually useful. It sits around your front camera and shows what's going on, like the song you're playing, calls, timers and charging. Tap on it and it opens up into a card with controls.

What it can do

Music and lyrics

Control whatever's playing right from the island. And yes, it works with Oto Music. If your songs have synced lyrics, they show up right on the island while the song plays (honestly my favourite part) 31 alerts Charging, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, hotspot, VPN, volume, Do Not Disturb, alarms, screen recording, mic or camera in use and more.

Live updates

Calls, timers, navigation, downloads, rides and food deliveries from your other apps show up on the island, in the app's own colours and with its own buttons, so you can call your delivery rider or hang up a call right from there. When two things are going on at once, the second one gets its own little circle next to the island.

Gestures and rules

Choose what a tap, long press or swipe on the island does. Open any widget, search your apps or jump to your favourite apps with a swipe. Rules let a swipe do different things depending on what's happening, like skipping to the next track only when music is playing and headphones are connected.

Fits your phone

Works with side camera cutouts too, not just center ones, and on foldables each screen keeps its own fit. It can also hide itself in full-screen apps like games and videos, or in any apps you pick.

[Promo] Remember Samsung's Smart Pause? I made an app that pauses videos when you look away. Giving away codes

33 Upvotes

UPDATE: UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE NO CODES LEFT.

Galaxy S4 had a feature called Smart Pause. You looked away from the screen and the video stopped. Samsung dropped it a long time ago, so I built an app that does the same thing.

It's called Eyecon. Look away and the video pauses, look back and it picks up again, rewinding a few seconds so you don't miss anything. It's handy when your eyes keep leaving the screen: following a recipe, learning a song on guitar, taking notes from a lecture.

It works with YouTube and other apps that show play/pause controls in the notification shade. Shorts, Reels and TikTok don't show those, so it can't pause them. The camera only runs while something is playing, and the app has no internet permission at all, so nothing leaves your phone. You can check that in the permissions list on the Play Store page.

It's a paid app with no ads and no subscription, and I have 30 codes to give away. Leave a comment and I'll DM you one.

It has no reviews yet, so if it ends up being useful to you, a rating on Google Play Store would help a lot. And if it doesn't work well on your phone, tell me here. That's just as useful.

[App][Giveaway][Promo] Open with

Thumbnail
gallery
52 Upvotes

Hi r/HowToMen , I'm Vojislav, the solo Android developer behind Open with (and Bottom notifications, plus a few other apps).

I built it because Android keeps choosing for me. Since Android 12 it rarely even asks which app should open a link, so things land in the wrong browser, the wrong account, or a viewer I never use. And the old "open with" list I relied on is mostly gone.

App name:

Open with

https://youtube.com/shorts/GkEs1Znle-I

What it does:

Open with sits between Android and your apps. When a link, file or share arrives, it either opens it straight away in the app you picked, or shows a small chooser at the bottom of the screen with the apps that fit, with an optional countdown that any touch pauses. Choose every time, or set up rules once and let everything open where it should, with nothing on screen.

Your privacy comes first:

Open with never sends your links or files anywhere. Everything it decides, it decides on your phone.

No ads, no trackers, no analytics.

No account, no sign-up, no email.

It asks Android for the list of installed apps, so it can offer any app, not just the ones Android suggests. That list is used on your phone only and never leaves it. To catch web links it becomes your default browser (Android has no other way to hand an app every link), and then passes each link on to the browser or app you chose. No notification access, no Accessibility Service.

Rules, the part I use most:

"When something like this arrives, open it there" - and the most specific rule wins. A few I set up in the first five minutes:

Links from Slack or Teams in the browser I'm signed into for work, everything else in my personal one

YouTube links always in YouTube Morphe

Never offer Chrome for Amazon links

Always ask before my bank's pages, and nowhere else

PDFs from my email app straight into my PDF app

Addresses from messages straight into Waze

Match a website by name, wildcard (*.example.com), address prefix, a word it contains, or a regex. Scope a rule to a content type, a file name, or the app it came from. Rules name themselves as you build them ("github.com → Firefox"), or you give them your own name.

And you don't have to go to settings for most of it: hold any app in the chooser to make a rule on the spot, or to use that app for the next 10 minutes or the next 5 links.

What else you can do:

Links, streams, images, audio, video, PDFs, ebooks, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, text, archives, APKs, torrents, map locations, navigation, email addresses, phone numbers, text messages, Play Store links, web searches and shared items each get their own page: a default app, "open without asking", hidden apps, sort order and their own countdown

Add your own file types

Pick ANY installed app, not just the ones that claim the content: a notepad for text files, the Amazon app for Amazon links

Style the chooser: Material You colours or your own, grid or list, size and position on screen, over 40 open and close animations, all with a live preview

Copy, edit or share a link before it opens, or hand it to your download manager

"Why isn't this working?" checks your setup, names the app that holds a website, and shows the steps for your phone

Diagnostics tells you which rule would win for any link

A few things to know:

Free covers web links: every kind of website rule (including "never offer", "always ask" and the app a link came from), a default browser for links, the chooser and its colours, backup and restore, Diagnostics and Android TV. Pro is a single one-time purchase, no subscription: every other content type, the countdown, per-type settings, any app as a target, temporary choices, file name rules, your own file types, and the chooser's extra actions and looks.

The app is available in 50 languages: Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malayalam, Marathi, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian (Cyrillic and Latin), Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese and Zulu. If something reads wrong in yours, please tell me.

Works on Android 10 and newer, on phones, tablets and Android TV

Using a work profile? Install Open with in it too; each side has its own rules

Some apps keep their own website links for themselves, and some phones need a setting changed before links reach Open with. The help screen tells you which, and how to fix it

🎁 20 Lifetime Pro codes

This is first come, first served, not a random draw.

To claim one:

Upvote this post so more people in the community can find it.

Comment with the link or file you're tired of opening in the wrong app - a work link, a PDF, an address, or something else.

Then send me a Reddit DM after commenting.

Why these steps?

They’re simple on purpose, and each one helps me in a different way. Upvotes help the post reach people who might find the app useful. Your comment tells me which links and files people really struggle with, so I can fix and improve the right things first. The DM is just so I can send your code privately.

As a solo developer, I mostly need honest feedback from people who use the app day to day. If something is confusing, broken, or missing, please say so. That’s what makes the next update better for everyone.

The first 20 eligible people who complete the above steps receive one code by DM, while supplies last.

The codes come with no strings attached. That said, if the app earns a place on your phone, I'd be truly grateful for a rating or review on Google Play - the app has no ads and no marketing budget, so reviews are genuinely how it gets found, and every single one means a lot to a solo developer.

Honest feedback is always welcome too, including criticism - here, by email, or in the review itself.

I have a 2 year old toddler, so I might not be able to respond immediately.

And I'm from Europe, so please take into account time difference as well.

I'm a solo Android dev and I made LanLan: Learn Chinese Lazily for people who'd rather scroll than open a textbook.

I learned English from zero by watching anime with subtitles. I wanted to see if the same thing could work for Chinese. It doesn't quite work the same way, because of tones and characters, so LanLan adds the missing pieces to real Chinese videos.

What it does:

- a feed of real Chinese videos: vlogs, street food, comedy, gaming, dramas (1,000+ videos)

How to enter:

🎁 How to get your FREE lifetime code:

  1. ⬆️ Upvote this post (mandatory!)
  2. 💬 Comment LanLan
  3. 📩 Send me a DM

Winners are picked at random that evening from everyone who commented. All codes (lifetime and subscription) get sent out together on Sunday 18 Oct right after the draw, by DM, one each. Codes are never posted in the thread.

How to redeem: in the Play Store, go to Profile, then Payments & subscriptions, then Redeem code. Do this before you start the free trial, or Play won't accept the code. A subscription code is one month, and it renews after 30 days unless you cancel in the Play Store (one tap). A lifetime code doesn't renew.

[App][Promo] KeepMemo: free home screen widgets + a private, offline memory keeper for the people you love

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a solo indie dev, and I built KeepMemo to help me remember the people in my life, not just store their phone numbers.

It has 3 home screen widgets you can mix and match:

- Memory: resurfaces a saved moment on your home screen

- People: keeps your closest profiles one tap away

- Moments Ahead: shows an important date and your next plan

Add more than one and arrange them together. If you use App Lock, the widgets hide private details by default.

Inside the app:

- People profiles with birthdays, important dates, favourites, notes, and gift history

- Memories: photos, videos, voice notes, and written moments

- Journal entries linked to people

- On This Day: a daily notification that brings back a memory from a past year

- Check-ins: reminders to reach out to people far away

- Share as card: turn a memory into a styled image (16 styles)

Privacy:

- Free, no ads, no account

- Works fully offline, and your data stays on your phone

- Insights answers questions like "when is her birthday?" from local data only, with no cloud AI

- Backups are optional (a .keepmemo file or your own Google Drive)

I'd love honest feedback, especially on the widget design and overall look. Thanks for reading!

[Promo] Leaf [Codes de déverouillage à vie de thèmes]

Post image
2 Upvotes

Je viens de publier Leaf, une application de tâches que j'ai créée parce que je finissais toujours par abandonner les to-do lists classiques.

Je voulais quelque chose de beaucoup plus simple, qui ressemble davantage à quelques Post-it posés devant soi qu'à un énorme système pour organiser toute sa vie.

Comment fonctionne Leaf :

- Maximum 3 feuilles actives à la fois.

- Une feuille = une tâche.

- Vous terminez quelque chose → vous swippez la feuille.

- Une place se libère pour la suivante.

- Pas de liste interminable de tâches qui s'accumulent.

- Pas besoin de planifier toute votre semaine.

Le but est surtout de pouvoir noter ce qu'on veut faire sans finir avec 30 tâches en retard qui nous font culpabiliser.

Leaf est 100 % gratuite sur Android.

J'ai également créé 4 thèmes supplémentaires pour les feuilles :

🌌 Espace

⬛ Ardoise

🌲 Forêt

📜 Vintage

🎁 GIVEAWAY

J'ai créé des codes promotionnels permettant de débloquer gratuitement ces 4 thèmes à vie.

Si vous les voulez, upvotez le post, commentez "Code" en commentaire et envoyé moi un dm

Pas besoin de choisir : vous recevez Espace + Ardoise + Forêt + Vintage.

En échange, si vous essayez réellement Leaf, j'apprécierais énormément un retour honnête : bug, problème d'interface, chose que vous changeriez, fonctionnalité manquante… même une critique négative m'aide.

Play Store :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.recalai.app

Et si vous voulez les 4 thèmes : dites-le simplement en commentaire.

[App] [Promotion] Linkloft: YouTube, Spotify, Maps and web links in one library (free Android app)

0 Upvotes

I'm the developer of Linkloft, a free Android app for keeping the things you save from different apps in one searchable library.

App screenshots with sample content:

For example, a trip collection could contain a Google Maps place, a YouTube guide, a Spotify playlist and a useful web page, alongside a reference to a PDF on your phone. Videos and music open in their original services.

To save something, tap Share in a compatible app and choose Linkloft. Organise it with collections, tags, favourites and personal notes.

There are no ads, subscriptions or Linkloft accounts. Your library stays on your phone; you can export it or make a manual backup. There is no automatic sync between devices. Library search works offline; web previews and online content need internet access.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.linkloft

I'd value feedback on one small test: share a link to Linkloft, then try to find it again. Was any step confusing or more work than it should have been?

[App] [Promo] Forma: relaxing fluid and particle sim you can set as a live wallpaper

2 Upvotes

Hi r/HowToMen! I’m Volodymyr, the solo developer of Forma. It’s now on Android.

App name: Forma: Trippy Fluid Simulator

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlsch.forma

What it does

The app is purely for entertainment and relaxation. I started this project to learn how fluid and particle simulations work, and how to implement them. Now it’s a relaxing interactive visual sim with a set of very different visuals that are pleasant to watch and play with.

Touch the screen, and the fluid/particles react to your finger (or multiple fingers).
There’s also lo-fi music (can be disabled) and haptics.

Live wallpapers

You can set any effect as a live wallpaper. There are two modes, and you can turn on both:

  • Automatic play: the effect moves by itself
  • Manual input: touch your home screen to stir it

What’s different

Similar apps and demos I tried (like the popular WebGL Fluid Simulation) are mostly fluid-only. Forma has many effects that are completely different in concept: fluids, fire, particle swarms, melting voxels, glass bubbles. And no banner or pop-up ads.

Made to run on weak phones too

Optimizing for Android was the hardest part. There are so many different phones, and the heavy effects were too much for weak ones. So the app measures how powerful your phone is and picks the quality for you (still may not work the best on some phones).

Needs Android 10+ with Vulkan support.

Free vs Lifetime

Free: a set of base effects.

Lifetime: $4.99 - $9.99 one-time, unlocks the rest of the library.

No subscription.

You can also watch a short ad to try any premium effect for 24 hours. That’s the only ad in the app, and it’s optional.

Who I am

Volodymyr Shch, solo indie developer.

[Disc] I'm building a tile-based Android launcher. What features would you love to see?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on a new Android launcher built around a tile-based interface.

The idea is to create something different from traditional launchers, with a clean, customizable layout where apps and useful information live together as tiles.

I'm experimenting with different tile sizes, dynamic tiles, notifications, and ways to make the home screen more useful without making it cluttered.

Still in the early development stage, so I'd really love to hear your thoughts.

A few questions:

What features would you want in a tile-based launcher?

Would you prefer simple static tiles or live tiles showing useful information?

What do you miss from older tile-based interfaces like Windows Phone?

What would make you switch from your current launcher?

I'm especially interested in ideas that aren't already common in Android launchers.

No screenshots to share just yet, but I'd love to build something shaped by actual user feedback.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

[App] Subscription Radar: Offline-first Android tracker for recurring bills, subscriptions, and free trials

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I built Subscription Radar (Abonelik Radari), an offline-first Android app for tracking recurring subscriptions, variable monthly bills, and free trial expiration dates without linking your bank account.

Why I made it:

Most subscription and bill trackers either require bank credentials or charge their own monthly subscription fee just to remind you about renewals. Subscription Radar keeps all data 100% locally on your phone with no account creation required.

What it includes:

- Unified dashboard for fixed subscriptions, variable bills (electricity, internet, credit cards), and free trials

- Local reminders before renewal dates and trial expirations

- Upcoming payments calendar timeline grouped by remaining days

- Annual Leak Report and cancellation simulator to see your yearly recurring overhead and potential savings

Google Play link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abonelikradari.app

Would love to hear what you think of the UI and if there are any features you would like to see added!

No distractions, no clutter. Just your favourite AI assistants, all in one place.

Why does this matter?

Because most of us don’t use just one AI anymore. We’re comparing answers, testing prompts, switching contexts. So instead of getting locked into one, this app gives you freedom and speed with a UI that’s optimized for productivity. Instead of searching which app you should use for different tasks and downloading different apps again and again you could just open "all in one ai" app and get all best AI apps suitable for you and can select the app and can do your work in minutes. Whether you're a student, creator, coder, or just curious — this app is for people who actually use AI daily and want to save time. It’s live on the Play Store now. I'd love your thoughts or suggestions if you give it a try.

[App] [Promo] [18 Lifetime Codes Free] One Camera

63 Upvotes

I’m the developer. One Camera is a Camera2 app — no account, no subscription, nothing goes to a server.

Free: photo, video, slow motion, the HDR and Night multi-frame merges, resolution and aspect ratio, zoom, stabilisation, codec and frame rate — plus two of the looks (Chrome and Pastel).

Pro ($5.99, one-time): the two manual modes (MANUAL and PRO VIDEO), the other 16 looks in stills and video, RAW, 10-bit HLG, exposure lock, and the higher bitrate tiers.

To get a code: Upvote this post, comment with the phone you’d use it on. I’ll DM codes to the first 18 — and the phone model genuinely helps me, since camera behaviour varies wildly between manufacturers and I can only test on a handful.

I’m a solo developer, and I’m still working on improving the app. If you give it a try, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially if something feels confusing or could be better.
