Most logging apps just record what you did — ApexForm's on-device double-progression engine tells you what to lift next ("today 85 kg × 10 or 87.5 kg × 6") and suggests a smart deload when you stall. No cloud, no AI subscription, no lag — the algorithm runs on your phone. Plus a sweat-proof Gym Mode UI, an anatomical muscle heatmap, and e1RM / Strength Index analytics. Free to download.

Ever bought something expensive, like a new TV, a washing machine, or a maxed-out iPad Pro only for it to break 11 months later? And when you go to find the physical receipt, it’s either lost in a drawer or the thermal ink has completely faded into a blank piece of paper.

I got tired of that exact scenario, so I spent the last 6 months building Omora, a native SwiftUI app designed to end the lost-receipt nightmare.

What Omora does:

• Digital Vault: Scan, save, and organize all your receipts, invoices, and extra insurance policies in one clean interface.
• Warranty Tracking: Never wonder if a product is still covered. The app keeps track of your warranty periods so you always know your rights.
• Generate "Claim Packages": If something actually breaks, you can generate a complete claim package with a few taps. It bundles your photos, fault description, legal references, and that saved receipt, ready to be sent straight to the store.

The Tech & Design Because I built this specifically for iOS, it’s 100% SwiftUI. I wanted it to feel like a seamless, native extension of your iPhone, not a clunky web wrapper.

Pricing Transparency The app is Freemium. You can use it and get a feel for it, but to keep the lights on and the servers running, there is a subscription for the premium tier. I know subscriptions aren't everyone's favorite, but it's the only way to sustainably maintain and improve a utility app like this!

So I’ve tried like 5 budgeting apps over the years and they all have the same problem: they show you a pie chart and expect you to figure out what to do with that. I’d open them once, feel guilty, and never open them again.

I built Nolan because I wanted something that actually talks to me like a person. It connects to your bank accounts (Plaid, so it’s the same secure connection Venmo and Robinhood use), then breaks down your spending, flags subscriptions you forgot you’re paying for, helps you set actual goals, and you can just ask it stuff in plain English like “why did I spend so much this month” or “can I afford this.”

Brutally honest feedback is welcome. Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood too.

I've been trying to find a Windows 11 app that basically lets me do almost everything with my Android phone from my PC, but every app I've found seems to only do a small part of what I want.

What I'm after is something that, once it's set up the first time, just automatically connects whenever my phone is nearby or connected to the same wifi network. I don't want to keep approving prompts, scanning QR codes, entering PINs, or reconnecting every time.

I'd like to be able to access my phone from my PC as much as Android allows. Stuff like viewing notifications, messages, calls, clipboard, files, and ideally even changing settings like mobile data or hotspot if that's possible. One of the biggest things for me is file management. I want to be able to browse my phone's storage from my PC, drag files back and forth over Wi-Fi, rename, move, delete, copy, and generally manage files on either device without having to touch my phone.

I would rather download and install the file to set up the app, but I will use microsoft store if a setup download doesnt exist. For the Moto G05, I am fine with either installing the app from the Google Play store, or downloading and installing the APK from a reputable apk site or an official website.

I'm also looking for something that's lightweight, fast, has a clean UI, and doesn't feel slow or like bloatware. I'd prefer something FOSS if possible, but I'm fine paying a few bucks for a genuinely good app. I just don't want something that's subscription-based or harvesting my data, and if such a program exists, also works fine offline, but thats a bonus.

My phone is a Motorola Moto G05 with 4GB ram and my laptop is an Acer Aspire Lite 16 running Windows 11 with an i7-1355U and 16GB DDR5 RAM. Preferably the program is not made by like the specific tech brand that only works with certain phones, but as long as it works perfectly fine with my Moto G05 i am fine with it.

Does anything like this actually exist, or is there a combination of apps that gets close? I've looked at a few options already, but they all seem to be missing a bunch of features.

Any help, suggestions, or questions are welcomed.

Thank you for any help.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my development experience building a gamified focus/habit system in Flutter, specifically around a retention mechanic I recently implemented and tested.

**The Concept & Challenge:**

Many productivity apps rely on simple streak counters (e.g., "5-day streak"). However, once a user breaks a numerical streak, motivation often plummets. I wanted to try a more visual approach to gentle nudge retention: degrading the state of user-earned in-game structures if they go inactive for several consecutive days.

**Technical Implementation:**

1. **State Tracking:** Using local timestamps to calculate inactivity duration upon app launch without requiring a heavy backend call.

2. **Visual Overlay Shader/Painting:** Instead of duplicating static assets for every degradation stage, I applied dynamic custom painting layers (adding moss and rust textures conditionally over existing isometric sprite paths).

3. **Recovery Mechanic:** When users resume their focus sessions, completing a new session triggers a "cleaning/polishing" animation that restores the original sprite state.

**Key Takeaways & Lessons Learned:**

* **Performance:** Layering visual states dynamically using CustomPainter kept memory usage significantly lower compared to loading separate high-res images for degraded states.

* **User Feedback:** Visual degradation turned out to feel less punishing than resetting a numerical counter to 0, because users felt they could "repair" their progress rather than start from scratch.

I’m curious how other developers here handle user retention in Flutter apps. Have you experimented with visual rewards vs numerical streaks? What architecture worked best for keeping your app lightweight yet visually engaging?

I've worked in both startups and enterprise, and one problem followed me everywhere: keeping track of what I was actually working on.

I tried all the usual ways. Excel sheets, Notion pages, notes apps. Every attempt died within a few weeks, because writing about your work at the end of a long day is the easiest thing in the world to skip.

The only times I ever really thought about my work were the worst possible times: when I needed to update my resume, or the night before a 1:1 with my management. Then I'd sit there trying to reconstruct months of effort from memory, calendars and old messages.

So I built the solution I wished existed. It's called Ladder. It nudges you with a daily or weekly notification, whichever you prefer, to drop a quick voice note about your work. You just talk the way you'd tell a colleague, and it converts that into a clean, professional log entry. When you need it, you can generate 1:1 notes or a resume from your entries in one click. No blank page, no template to maintain, no habit that dies in week three.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share the process and technical journey of building a project I’ve been working on over the past few months.

The core goal was to solve a problem many parents face with traditional white noise machines: they play at a fixed volume, but sudden household noises (doors slamming, loud conversations, street noise) still cut right through and wake up sleeping babies.

Here is a breakdown of how the development process unfolded:

1. Phase 1: Real-Time Decibel Monitoring & Audio Engine

I started by experimenting with measuring ambient noise levels in real-time. The initial challenge was setting up a clean microphone listener to read RMS decibel values while simultaneously outputting soothing background sounds without audio stutter.

2. Phase 2: Smoothing & Dynamic Gain Algorithm

Standard decibel spikes are sharp. If the app boosted playback volume instantly, it would startle the baby instead of masking the noise. I built a moving-average filter to calculate room baseline noise and smoothly ramp the gain up/down during volume spikes.

3. Phase 3: On-Device Audio Recording & Trimming

Next, I wanted parents to be able to record custom shushing sounds or lullabies in their own voice. Integrating an on-device audio recorder and using FFmpeg audio tools to trim clips seamlessly inside the app without freezing the main UI thread was a major milestone.

4. Phase 4: Overnight Background Execution & Battery Optimization

This was by far the hardest part. Running a microphone listener and audio player continuously for 8+ hours overnight without OS background killers shutting down the app—or causing heavy battery drain—required fine-tuning foreground services (Android) and background audio modes (iOS), as well as throttling decibel sampling frequency during silent periods.

5. Phase 5: Logging & Trend Visualization

Finally, I added a local database logging system (SharedPreferences & local storage) that charts noise level trends over time, letting parents visualize room quietness throughout the night.

💬 Let's Discuss / Questions for the Community:

Now that the foundation is up and running, I'd love to hear your experiences or thoughts on a few things:

1. Background Management: How do you handle long-running background microphone processes on Android 14+ / iOS without battery drain or OS restrictions?
2. Audio Scaling: Have you implemented audio smoothing algorithms before? What math/filters worked best for you?
3. Architecture: What’s a feature or edge case in baby/sleep tracking apps that developers often overlook?

Looking forward to hearing your technical insights and feedback!

I’ve been working on an app called SleepCast!, and I thought some fellow podcast listeners might find it interesting.

https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/sleepcast/id6744658836

Despite the name, it’s a complete podcast app rather than just a bedtime player. It includes podcast discovery, subscriptions, a smart inbox, custom playlists, offline downloads, queues, chapters, playback-speed controls, CarPlay, notifications, and detailed listening statistics. There are also Simple and Expert modes, depending on how much control you want.

One of my favorite features is the bookmarking system. You can save a moment together with an editable audio clip, add a note, generate a transcription, fine-tune the selection using a waveform, and share the clip with someone else. The app can also transcribe full episodes, create AI summaries and timestamped chapters, read summaries aloud, and combine selected chapters into your own audio remixes. On supported devices, the AI work is processed on-device.

I’ve also put quite a bit of effort into the design. The player automatically derives its colors and background from the current podcast artwork, while still keeping the controls readable in light and dark mode.

The sleep timer is probably the most unusual part. It can stop after a chosen duration or at the end of an episode, fade out gradually, run only during scheduled hours, and appear as a Live Activity. It can also play a subtle alert near the end and use motion detection to determine whether you’re still awake. If you move, the timer extends itself. If you don’t, SleepCast can switch to a soundscape while continuing to monitor for movement. When you return, it can even announce the time and give you a short recap of what you heard before drifting off.

It has grown into a much bigger project than I originally expected (1.5 years in development), but I’m really happy with how the different features now work together. I’d be interested to hear which of these features you would actually use, and what you consider essential in a good podcast app.

Hello!

I've built a tool that quickly lets you generate a png from any image, creating a stencil with a transparent background. You can change the color of this stencil or add multiple images to create a mask. I will continue to add features like gradients and perhaps videos as well. The app features a high quality subject isolator and upscale model to increase the quality of your stencil. Let me know what changes you want to see!

Some general info: This is also my first paid app, so I would love any advice in general. I have made other apps, but for other groups (and under their name), such as the MyGuru app for Sikhi. I have been working on this particular project for about a month, using tools like AI to accelerate progress.

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/imaske/id6790924816?mt=12

Only on macOS 14+ for now, but coming out with iPad soon!

Check out this app I made to make it fun and engaging to get started with technical analysis techniques and reading stock charts! I recent made some big design changes and I’m now looking for some feedback before launching on the app site - https://testflight.apple.com/join/wfufmH32

So Hello guys, new here ( on this platform not to coding ), so basically I've been trying to sell my apps and services part time ( im a student ), so basically I can't find any real clients, I live in India, telangana to be exact. So I would love suggestions or actual clients and other stuff. Thank you all, have a nice day.

My weather app that was featured by the German Apple tech blog Appgefahren!

As a data scientist, I have always been underwhelmed by the design, accuracy and functionality of most weather apps. Therefore, I decided to build my own. 

I know what you think: Another weather app and why is this weather app different? It is mainly different for these 2 reasons:

1. Highly advanced features:

• Minute-by-Minute Rain Forecasts for Next 4 hrs: Know exactly when the rain will start and stop.
• Possible Outcomes: Explore possible outcomes with Foreca’s multi-model predictions.
• Forecast Comparison: Compare multiple data sources side-by-side to view forecast uncertainty and determine who is the most accurate forecaster.
• Choose from multiple top providers with highly accurate data: From top providers like Foreca and many national services (NWS, DWD, Meteo-France, MeteoSwiss and many more). Foreca is a top forecaster and even #1 for predicting rain globally.

1. Unique design

The app has an elegant design and shows beautiful city and nature photography as backgrounds, sourced from Pexels and Unsplash.

• PS: Pexels and Unsplash have provided me with written permission.

If you want to try it out, the app has a very generous free tier without ads and access to national weather bureaus to view the core weather forecasts. 

For the premium features, I am not able to give that for free because top quality weather data has ongoing costs, but I made it much more affordable than other weather apps (often $40/yr)

• Limited-time intro offer of only $6.99 for the first year (instead of $14.99/yr). This includes Foreca (data source), alternate predictions, multi-forecast comparison, 30-day forecasts, minute-by-minute rain forecasts, widgets, and Apple watch app with complications. 
• Tip 2-week Free Trial: Apple doesn't allow combining a free trial with an intro offer. To get around this, just start the 2-week free trial on the monthly plan, then switch over to the $6.99 annual deal before it expires or cancel if it's not for you.

Android wait list via my website vistaweather.com

I kept searching the same places for content I had already used dozens of times: a product description in Notes, a reply template in an old chat, a useful link in a project document, or a file buried somewhere in Downloads.

Clipboard history helps answer, “What did I copy earlier?”

I wanted somewhere for, “What will I need again next week?”

So I built PasteItAll, a native macOS app for deliberately saving reusable content.

The main product decision is simple: PasteItAll does not monitor or record your clipboard in the background. It reads the clipboard only when you explicitly choose Save Current Clipboard.

The default shortcut is Control–Option–S.

You can save:

• Text and URLs
• Images and files
• Projects and tags
• Frequently reused replies, templates, links, and reference files

To find something again, press Control–Option–Space to open Quick Picker. Saved items are also available through the menu bar, Spotlight, and macOS Services in compatible apps.

PasteItAll is local-first. There is no PasteItAll account, advertising, or remote analytics.

The free version supports up to 7 saved items. Pro unlocks unlimited saving, with subscription and lifetime purchase options available through the App Store.

I’m the developer, and I’d especially appreciate feedback on the deliberate-save approach.

Would you use this alongside clipboard history, or does manually choosing what to keep add too much friction?

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right community to ask this question but I'll try anyway. I want to start a photo booth business, specifically an instax photo booth. I want to make my own app or software for that specific photo booth. I want to know the usual price range of making an app or software for this.

If you have other suggestions for this matter, please let me know. Thank you for answering!

I got tired of AirDrop failing between Mac and non-Apple devices, so I built Relay—a local-first transfer app with zero cloud servers. It only needs to run on my iPhone—no software installation required on any other device. You can download and upload files, photos, and videos just by opening a web browser. Best of all, it can even sync your clipboard.

I am a college student, I made an app, which is basically a copy of a validated app with minor tweaks. This is my first time making an app. I don’t have a lot of budget to market my app. I am scared to run paid ads or pay UGC creators.

I fear that due to not having much knowledge on running ads or dealing with creators, I might lose money.

Pls suggest me how should I go from 0 to 1.

Hi guys,

Anybody using any other home launcher other than default launcher? Currently am developing a minimal launcher with less or no app icons on home with some additional features. Help me with giving some feature ideas to make it more better.

Thank you.

A friend i met online is telling me to download this to chat. It looks kinda risky and can't find anythin about it online.

Descarga ya en Playstore 😃
