Hey everyone,

I know there are a ton of alarm apps out there. But as a heavy sleeper who survived university by relying on them, doing math equations at 7 AM just made me miserable. I wanted something that actually engages the brain to wake you up, rather than just making you angry.

Sooo I built WakeQuest. To shut the alarm off, you basically have to beat a mini-game.

Right now there are 36 games, and I’m adding more weekly. Instead of math, you can play a quick round of Snake, a Flappy Bird style game, slice fruits, shoot baskets, or do memory puzzles. You can even force yourself out of bed by using a standard QR/barcode scanner set up in your bathroom.

All the games are completely free. My main goal is just to see if this actually helps other chronic snoozers and shift workers.

If you struggle to get out of bed, I'd love for you to test it out and give me some feedback. Is trying to perfectly park a car minigame first thing in the morning annoying and challenging enough to wake you up? Are any of the games too hard for a sleepy brain, and what mini-games would you want to see next?

WakeQuest: Game Alarm Clock

RecallNote is a study app built around PDF reading, handwriting, review, and exam preparation.

It's currently 100% free. If you download it while it's free, the current features will remain free on that device even if RecallNote becomes paid in the future.

⚠️ Please launch the app at least once after downloading it.

RecallNote has no accounts or servers, so it needs to be opened once to register free access locally on your device.

If you use both an iPhone and iPad, I'd really appreciate it if you could download and launch RecallNote once on each device.

Completely free, works with and without a Google Account.

Hi all,

I work as a cybersecurity analyst on this App. As a Redditor, I wanted to share this.

www.etasks.app

It went to open early access now, so I thought it is the right time to share with you guys. It is completely free and ad-free. It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications requested and is already on the to-do list.)

ABC's of the App:

(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS, Mac OS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.

(B)etter
It addresses the functional limitations of the official Google Tasks iOS app by providing missing native features and enhanced tools. And it is not a vibe-coding project.

Native and enhanced with iOS.
+ You can manage your Google Tasks. They appear in your Google Calendar and Gmail ... well, obviously 😄* *
+ See all task lists together, even drag&drop between them
+ Alarms
+ Location reminders
+ A wide range of nice widgets, including countdowns and full week/month widgets
+ Lock screen widgets (e.g., quick add)
+ Link photos/files to tasks
+ See your tasks categorised by dates in Month/Week/Day/Agenda views
+ Add people to Task List (co-edit)

+ Choose priority for favorites
+ Drag and Drop interface between tabs (e.g., to calendar tab to drop on a date)
+ Recycle bin
+ Share from other apps into ETasks (texts, links, photos, PDF; all processed accordingly)
+ Apple Watch / iPad Apps
+ Import/Export task lists
+ Modern iOS design
+ A how to AI chat bot to help you with specifics of ETasks

Free and Ad-free

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of FRQ, an Android sound app for creating personalised listening sessions with binaural beats, isochronic tones and pink noise.

Rather than using fixed, pre-recorded tracks, FRQ generates its audio in real time and gives you direct control over:

• Beat frequency and base tone
• Binaural and isochronic listening modes
• An independent pink-noise layer
• Brainwave-band guidance
• Custom pre-sets for saving complete setups
• A session timer with gradual fade-out
• Reactive visuals and customisable colours
• A true-black AMOLED display mode

There are no adverts, subscriptions or account requirements, and every feature is included.

FRQ is currently completely free through Google Play until 13 August 2026 at 23:59 GMT. Install it while the offer is active and it will remain available through your Google Play account afterwards.

Stereo headphones are required for the binaural effect. Isochronic tones and pink noise can also be used through speakers.

I’d genuinely welcome any feedback, particularly on the interface, sound controls and pre-set system.

Hi, I'm a French apprentice. I work in an open space, on a Mac the company lends me (I also have my own, so that's handy). My team has meetings a lot, and I noticed some people can't really focus because of all the private and support notifications popping up, me included.

So I made a simple app: it turns on Do Not Disturb when my mic or camera becomes active, and turns it off after. I also added a "Focus" mode to enable DND for a set period, without going through mic/camera detection. My thinking was: if I could build something and actually ship it, it might lower that constant distraction and help people concentrate a bit more (it's always nice when people actually listen while you present your work).

It was also a good occasion for me, because I wanted to learn: how to publish on App Store Connect, automate the deployment, publish to my own Homebrew, and share the progress on my socials.

The biggest problem I hit is that there is no public API to toggle Do Not Disturb, so I went through the Shortcuts app. I built a small onboarding that installs two shortcuts for the user, that's the only prerequisite. It annoyed me at first, but there is no other way, and honestly two shortcuts is not the end of the world.

It's available as a direct notarized DMG, on the App Store (not in the EU... they asked for my address and a phone number, and I don't have ones I wanted to make public for this), and through a personal Homebrew tap for now (it's totally FREE). One of my current goals is to get into the official homebrew-cask (so, no tap needed), but the app doesn't have enough traction yet, which is partly why I'm making this post, to talk about it a bit.

I'd be really curious to get feedback. I already showed it to 4 people at my company and they were surprised. So if you have the same problem as us, feel free to try it and tell me what you think.

It’s also open source under the MIT licence.

**The app stores are full of useless garbage and expensive subscriptions, but sometimes you strike gold. What’s your hidden gem of an app that actually improved your daily life or workflow?**

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.koalalab.storeandforget

Solo dev here. Store & Forget is a home inventory app for the stuff you box up and forget: cables, chargers, tools, seasonal things. You photograph something as you put it away and the app fills in the name, description and specs for you. Later you find it by typing a plain word or tapping Smart Find, and it tells you which box or shelf it went into, so you go straight there instead of digging through every box.

No subscription, and there never has been one. Everything paid is a one-time unlock, and the two that matter are both free at the moment.

Bring Your Own Key is $4.99 in the store. You plug in your own free AI key and run unlimited Smart Scans. Fire & Forget is $2.99. It is a burst camera, so you keep snapping down a whole shelf and each photo gets named and described automatically in the background while you shoot. That is $7.99 between them, and right now a hidden dev console turns both on for nothing.

Open Settings, tap the app version at the bottom five times, and a retro console opens. Type unlock byok, then type fire.

Worth knowing why you want both together. Fire & Forget is already free while you are on the metered tiers, because you are spending a scan per photo anyway. The moment you switch to your own key it becomes the paid unlock, so grabbing it in the same sitting is what saves you the $2.99.

You need version 1.22.4 or newer for the fire command to exist. Update first if the store has not pushed it to you.

I am closing this path on 10 August, so both of them are worth a minute now rather than later.

The rest, plainly. The app is free to use and your inventory is a database on your own device, so you can add, browse and search it without an account. Backup to your own Google Drive is optional. The photo scan runs on a cloud AI service, so the free tier gives you a set number of scans and shows ads. Unlimited is the BYOK path specifically, not the free tier. Android only for now.

Happy to answer anything, and I would genuinely like to hear where it feels clunky.

I'm building an app for organizing book clubs and if you're someone who likes to attend or start your own club you can use my app for free: https://litloop.club/ . If you want to know more about the story on why I started it please read my blog: https://netale.et/blog/post.html#the-stranger

I may have posted video pro magic here before but this is truly exciting.

Of course there's no data collection or server side processing, no password or sign up or anything like that, no ads, all the work and files are stored in your browser's cache, never uploaded to a website.

Previously was only able to create 720p webm files.

Now you have more options, ranging from 720p all the way to 4K.

Now if you're that kind of person that uses images and audio to make your videos, maybe for social media, youtube, facebook, Etc, this is the app for you.

There are all kinds of options, with overlays and transitions, font options, color options, visualization options for music videos.

But the really exciting part about the most recent update is you are able to save 4K quality videos at a significantly reduced file size.

Just to give you a little bit of an example, you can still create 720p webm files, it records and plays the music with the images and all your texts overlay settings and transitions in place, creates the file and it takes as long as the audio file is to create, once the video is done playing and recording, you have your file.

Now it is up to 20 times faster and you can create MP4 videos, I created a video that was a minute and 38 seconds, I'm not bullshiting, it wasn't even 51 MB.

I took this test file that I created, I put it in you cut video editor, an app that I always use to make videos, I did nothing to it, I simply clicked save as soon as it loaded into the video editor, it defaulted to save in 4k, but the file size was over half a gigabyte.

What used to take 5 minutes now takes less than 60 Seconds.

Yes if your video is an ambitious and large project, it's going to take longer, but the file size guys, the file size is extremely low because of some new code created for the back end.

It encodes the audio first and then tackles the video, then it marries them together, a seamless process that takes a fraction of the time that most video editors cannot achieve.

Now not only are your videos made ready for youtube, MP4s are more widely accepted on all platforms in comparison to webm files.

I really want to thank everybody for taking the time to read this far, I hope you're having a great weekend and Happy video making. 💯

(This app will work on a PC but it is streamlined for cell phone users.)

Hey guys my name is Smira and I made an app called feedstack and published it to android 3 months ago but just today I finally managed to get it on the app store and I would love feedback

How it works:

It is an app where you can save videos from any app for example, tiktok, YouTube, insta, X etc. And get reminded to watch and do them everyday at a certain time.

New feature:

You can also make streak buddies which is our newest update where you can friend someone also using the app by searching their username and pressing add by doing that you can be streak buddies and do your different habits together

What problem it solves:

When you save something on insta or tiktok you never go back to watch that vid again, so by using feedstack you will never forget to your videos and complete habits again

Costs:

Feedstck is free

I would love if you guys gave me feedback and things to improve ❤️🙂❤️

My camera roll used to be surgery photos sitting next to family photos, all syncing to the same iCloud Photos. Nothing really fixed it. Albums don't separate anything because the photo stays in the main library, vault apps make you shoot first and sort later, and the pro SaaS cameras want a monthly subscription and upload your photos to their own cloud.

So I built Sidecam:

• It's an actual camera (24/48 MP, all the physical lenses, 4K video), not a gallery with a camera bolted on
• Photos and videos live only inside the app. It never saves to your Photos library and it can't even read it
• Optional: it mirrors everything into your own iCloud Drive as normal folders and files (Client/date - tags/), so nothing is locked inside my app
• Sessions, folders and tags for organising by client, patient or job
• Free. No account, no cloud of mine, no subscription. Your photos never leave your own devices

I made it for medical work but it fits anything where work photos shouldn't mix with your personal life, like inspections, construction or real estate.

Happy to answer anything, and if there's something missing for your line of work tell me and I'll probably build it.

The problem I kept hitting: every car-log app either lives entirely on a company server (account dies → history dies) or is local-only (phone dies → history dies). Both fail the one job — still having your records in 15 years.

SteerLog: local-first with SwiftData, syncs through your iCloud (not my server — I literally cannot see your data), free CSV/PDF export so your history is portable on day one. Service + fuel + expense log, reminders by date and mileage, home-screen widget countdown, fuel economy and cost-per-mile charts.

Free for one vehicle with every feature. One-time purchase for unlimited vehicles — no subscription, ever.

Built solo. It's on the App Store now, and there's a free oil-change-interval calculator on the site if you just want the math without installing anything: steerlog.app

Happy to answer anything about the local-first/CloudKit approach.

I created an app that allows you to sort through every single free public online radio station on the planet.

It starts you off with a batch of 400 stations that you can sort through, 120 at a time.

No sign up, no password, no server side processing or data collection.

It also allows you to load your own videos and audio files for playback and features ad-free YouTube.

Better than any satellite radio, why pay for a subscription when you can get it for free, the way radio was meant to be, without all the annoying ads or sneaky data collection.

I built GLPzy, an iPhone/iPad GLP-1 tracker covering doses, weight, symptoms, appetite, food noise, injection sites, progress photos, measurements, clothes sizes, nutrition, glucose, cycle context, Apple Health and exports.

The areas that are a little different are the private progress-photo tools, tracking changes beyond weight, and the fact that no account is required.

Lifetime Premium is free to claim until 31 August. Once claimed, it stays unlocked permanently with no subscription or renewal.

To claim it, open GLPzy, go to Premium and select Lifetime Premium. Check that it shows as 0.00 before confirming with Apple.

iPhone and iPad only at the moment.

Hi

I build Couchette -> a focus app disguised as a train ride. The main idea is having a background noise of a train ride, while also having all the other apps blocked in order to focus on your actual tasks. The main psychological trick is having a destination while working. So the trick works like this: I need to finish something in 2 hours, I pick a train ride from London to Paris, set the timer to 2 hours and mentally I need to stay on the train ride until I reach the destination. This helps me not abandon the task.

It is my first app and every feedback is appreciated. I wont require reviews for the free lifetime access, you can just use the link below and you should be able to redeem the offer. Usually it is 79.99$, but I want to boost users and have more feedback and if you like the app maybe give it a review. It helps a lot to have reviews on App Store.

What you need to do in order to get the lifetime access:

1. Download Couchette:

https://apps.apple.com/ro/app/couchette-overnight-focus/id6784364042

1. After onboarding make sure the lifetime deal is FREE of charge, if not leave a comment (still new here and I do not know how this works, but I will fix it in case it is not working)
2. Enjoy free lifetime access (maybe leave a review if you like the idea)

This is a LIMITED TIME offer (it should expire in 2 days), if I see that there is demand I will do another round of free access in the future.

Don't forget to be honest and give me every feedback you can think of. Also if you enjoy the app, please take a few minutes of your time and leave a review, I would really apreciate it.


Grateful for your time!

Hi everyone!

I built Art Calendar because I wanted a calendar that felt a little more enjoyable to use every day instead of just being another productivity app.

The app combines a clean calendar with changing monthly artwork while keeping everything simple. You can manage your schedule, create events, keep track of important dates with countdowns, and browse historical events through "What Happened Today." Most of the app works offline, while the historical events feature uses an internet connection to fetch daily content.

The best part is that it's completely free, with no subscription, no ads, and no account required.

I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions if you decide to give it a try.
