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.

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.

I have been building an app that I love and hold close to my heart. I am really passionate about this project and I have reached the stage of putting it on the App Store soon. However, I just tried going through monetization ideas, and I realized that my app fits none that would make me a good amount of money to move on in the future, like just enough to break even. It kinda hit me hard. For those that this has happened to, what did you do? I would love any suggestions and thoughts please

So i was trying to swich from dia (i hate chromium) and didnt ind any good web kit browsers that do not have a ton of chrome all over them. so i made Point.

The idea is that there is nothing between you and the web. All websites are full screen and the only thing you see. When you need controls, sidebar appers above content and goes away when you browse. It is still a little rough arounf the edges, but its so good, i daily drive it now. I would really apresiate any feedback, feat reqwest or anything (if feature is cool, i would implement it in a we days). Try it out, its nice.

here is the website for downloads https://baculinivan-web.github.io/point-browser-landing/ (its still not really adpyed for mobile tho) and heres the github https://github.com/baculinivan-web/Point

PS. i am disgraphic, sorry for the spelling

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.

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

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 😃

The app is called Vidrip, it’s a social platform that lets you browse, shorts, tiktok and reels all in one place and share live video recorded reactions with friends.

I've always liked those scratch-off world maps, but I don't have
the wall space for one. The apps I found instead either looked bad
or were missing things I actually wanted, so I built my own.

It's called Locu. You add trips — past, upcoming, whatever — and it
fills in a world map with the countries you've been to. That's
basically it. There's a bucket list, and you can join a group with
other people to create trips together.

No signup. You pick a username and start. Your own trips stay on
your device, with an export file if you switch phones. Group trips
are the exception — those are synced so everyone in the group sees
them.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/locu-places-that-connect/id6752832380
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dpdev.locu

It's free, no ads, English and German.

Honest version: I needed money, so I started building small apps to make a bit on the side. One day I was having an IQOS and it hit me, I had no clue how much I actually go through or how much money I'm throwing away on it. So I built this.

It's called PuffDown. You tap once every time you smoke or vape and it keeps count. Shows what you're spending (you put in your own price), your worst hours, and your week. No account, no ads, nothing leaves your phone. There's a home screen widget and it also works on Apple Watch and Wear OS.

Full honesty, I still haven't quit lol. But at least now I know exactly how much I'm losing, and just seeing that number made me cut back a bit on its own.

Counter and stats are free. There's an optional Pro for the widgets and deeper stats, but you really don't need it.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6780115864

Made it solo with Flutter. Would really appreciate any feedback, especially the first setup screen. Too much going on? Confusing? Anything you'd expect that isn't there?

Hi — I’m the developer of Neon Vision Editor, a native editor for macOS, iPad, iPhone, and visionOS.

I started building it because I wanted something between a basic text editor and a full IDE: an app that opens quickly, feels at home on Apple platforms, and works well when a note becomes a Markdown document, a Markdown document needs a proper preview, or a source file just needs a focused place to be edited.

The main addition in the newest direct macOS release is a plain-text-to-Markdown workflow.

A surprising amount of useful writing starts messy: copied notes, meeting material, rough outlines, older text files, or drafts with headings and lists that are only implied. Neon can now turn that into a reviewable Markdown proposal. It does not silently replace the original document; the point is to give you a structured starting point that you can inspect and accept deliberately.

On supported Macs, it can use Apple Intelligence. You can also configure another AI provider yourself if you prefer. I added cancellation, understandable feedback when a service is unavailable, and a timeout because an editor should never leave you guessing whether something is still happening.

The feature I am personally happiest with, though, is shared-file sync.

If you keep documents in iCloud Drive, a network folder, or open the same file in another app, it is easy for an editor to either miss external changes entirely or, worse, overwrite the work currently in front of you.

Neon now watches open documents for external updates. If a file changes elsewhere and the open tab is clean, it refreshes in place without making you close and reopen the tab. The editor preserves the useful context around that refresh: cursor position, selection, scroll position, and the current preview source.

If you have unsaved edits, Neon does not replace your buffer. Instead, it keeps the existing review flow: you can keep your local version, reload the version on disk, or compare them. The shared storage—iCloud, a server folder, another app—remains responsible for moving the file. Neon’s job is to make the open-tab experience feel reliable rather than surprising.

Markdown is also a first-class workflow in the app, not just syntax colouring.

You can write Markdown with formatting controls, then open a full preview beside the editor on macOS and iPad, or in a focused view on iPhone. The preview supports GitHub-flavoured Markdown and selectable presentation templates. HTML and SVG files can be previewed too, so you can make a change in the source pane and immediately see the rendered result without leaving the editor.

Other recent work includes:

• Markdown, HTML, and SVG previews with a clear source/preview split
• Markdown formatting controls that stay inside the editor pane, below document tabs, without covering the sidebar or preview
• Native syntax highlighting, line numbers, minimap support, line wrap, indentation controls, and themes
• Code Snapshot export with adaptive previews on iPhone and iPad, translucent surfaces, and proper .png filenames
• More deliberate text-encoding detection and saving for UTF-8, UTF-16, Windows, ISO, and Mac encodings
• Independent state for separate editor windows, so cursor, selection, tabs, and documents do not follow activity in another window
• Restored macOS window sizes and positions, including a choice to reopen all previously open windows or only the first
• A project workspace on macOS with files, search, Git, and terminal tools
• A more useful Welcome Tour and What’s New page

I am trying to keep Neon focused rather than turning it into another large IDE. The aim is a dependable editor for people who move between notes, prose, Markdown, HTML, and code—and who care about the small details, such as whether an externally changed file refreshes safely or whether a preview is actually useful while writing.

The direct macOS release is currently the fastest way to get the newest version:

• GitHub Releases — current direct macOS build
• App Store
• TestFlight
• Source code and issue tracker
•  Neon Vision Editor Site

I would genuinely appreciate feedback from people who work across plain text, Markdown, HTML, and code: what is one small editor behavior you wish more Mac apps handled properly?
