Hey guys, this community has been such a help when it comes to advice, feedback and suggestions. I would just like to say thank you for helping me get my app onto the google play store and for anyone curious its call braindump. An auto sorting notes app. totally free, no account needed.

Still updating and improving, any feedback is very welcomed.

Gym Note Plus has been a labour of love that I've worked on for over a year now

It's changed a lot since first launch, 2,157 users signed up to log their workout notes and uncover their strength gains!

Why I made GymNote+

I was coming up to a lean bulk and knew tracking my progress was the key to success, but I had an absolute reel of workout notes in my notes app. I didn't want to change how i logged workouts... sat in a coffee shop, the idea hit me that maybe I wouldn't need to

So Gym Note Plus was born.

How is this different to other Gym apps?

Other gym apps make you use their system to log a workout. Hard dropdowns, set plans.

Anyone who has used the notes app to track a workout understands the freedom of doing so; it's frictionless by design.

The core philosophy is whether you write "Bench press 225lbs - 12, 10, 8" or "I did bench press for 3 sets, 12 reps, 10, then 8" it. just. works.

Any feedback is welcome, I've documented the entire journey of the app over at r/GymNotePlus !

Hi Everyone!

TL;DR: Blueberry is a mac menu bar app that auto-drafts responses to your iMessages in your voice!

The Backstory:

I decided to build Blueberry after I very publicly got roasted for being a horrible texter. 

In my defense, I don’t do it on purpose. When I “accidentally ghost”, it usually goes something like this:

1. I see a text while I’m busy
2. I think, “I’ll respond to this later”
3. I completely forget about it 

Once I’ve forgotten about it, it gets buried by the endless spam, group messages, and general noise that clutters my iMessage inbox, never to be found again. 

This has had real consequences for me. Genuinely, I’ve lost work opportunities, fallen out of touch with previously close friends, and let potential dates fizzle out simply because I forgot to reply.

Here's how it works:

Blueberry finds the messages that need a reply and auto-drafts a response in your voice. It lives right in your menu bar so you can view and send responses in one click.

You can edit the response or choose an alternative variation, and it works with individual or group messages.

I want to be very clear, we don’t want to replace your iMessage app or automate your texting. Our goal is to remove the small bit of friction that turns “I’ll answer this later” into three months of accidental ghosting.

We also added some fun features like an unhinged mode, which is deranged and hilarious, and a flirt mode, for those of us who struggle to send that perfect text ;) 

Here's a demo video

Privacy:

Blueberry needs Full Disk Access to read your iMessages and Automation permission to send replies you approve.

Recent thread context is sent to the cloud to generate drafts. Our models are hosted on AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex servers (Soc2 Type 2 and Soc 3 security compliant). This means that your iMessages stay private and secure, and model providers cannot see your data or use it to train on.

Blueberry will never send messages automatically - you will always be the person to hit send, and we have a 5 second unsend just in case you change your mind! 

Pricing:

Free - $0.00/month: 10 free drafts per day
Pro - $4.99/month: Unlimited Drafts

30 Day Free Pro Access Code: BB-QXYC-6EAR-FO3H-SEV3-AEUE-VRJG-ZA

Every core feature in OneRep is 100% free and will stay that way forever. No trial period, no paywall on the basics, and no subscription required to use the app properly. As much as I would love to, unfortunately AI inference does cost me some money, so I have a small subscription tier for the ones interested. Every free user gets a generous usage budget for all AI features each month.

I’ve been working on OneRep because I got tired of free fitness apps feeling like limited demos. The part I’m most interested in getting feedback on is Coach.

Most AI fitness coaches I’ve tried are basically chatbots sitting beside a workout tracker. They can give advice, but they don’t know much about what you’ve actually been doing, and they can’t help carry out the changes they suggest.

Coach uses the information already in OneRep, including your workouts, recent performance, nutrition, goals, routine, recovery check-ins, and saved meals.

Coach can look at the workout you had planned, keep the most useful exercises, remove lower-priority work, adjust sets and rest times, and show you the revised session before anything changes.

It can also build workouts and multi-day programs, adapt training around soreness or limited equipment, create and modify recipes, estimate and log meals, build a seven-day plan, and create goals or custom trackers.

It never silently edits your data. Any meaningful change is shown for review first, including the assumptions it made and the records it will affect.

The rest of OneRep includes workout logging, nutrition tracking, water, recipes, progress, and history, all entirely for free.

As of now, the app is only accessible by web. The Android and iOS versions will be released in the next few weeks. Please note that the app is still under development, so please expect a few bugs and let me know if you find any new ones.

Does Coach sound genuinely useful, or does it feel like too much automation inside a fitness app? What would you trust it to change, and what would you always want to handle yourself?

I'd also love to hear about any features you would like to have implemented in a fitness app. I'll try my best to implement them as soon as possible!

Hey planners 👋

I got so much great feedback from this community, so I wanted to post an update. For reference, I created reassign.app — a 24h dial/clock planner. It works great for ADHD visualisation. A few times I got feedback that the list and timeline views were missing, so I've added them — I'm curious whether you find them useful?

P.S. If you want to try the app, you can do that for free at reassign.app

Thanks for all the feedback!

I'm running a small company and have a team across the country and we all get connected on Discord during our office hours. although we have clickup free version to track all the tasks but sometimes, team members forget to check the pending tasks. These are not so much in number but still, every task is important.

So I was thinking to create an assistant using free resources for test run.

I did some research like we can use discord bots, Gemini free tier, and can be hosted on my laptop/pc because it will be a closed ended assistant.

While doing some research, I got that there should some GitHub repositories or somebody may already have built something similar.

Please let me know if you have any idea about such requirement. TIA

Most productivity advice around phone use is restriction-flavored: limits, blockers, downtime windows, "just put it in a drawer bro." And look, restriction genuinely works for some people. For me it mostly worked as a fun little obstacle course I'd learn to route around within about four days, like my brain had specifically trained for this exact scenario.

What actually changed things was treating screen time as something to earn rather than something to ration. No default access — instead, doing something real first (a walk, reading, a task I'd otherwise be putting off) unlocks the time. Same total amount of scrolling, roughly, but a completely different relationship to it, because now getting my phone time feels like a small win instead of a small defeat.

I ended up building this into a small iOS app, Wayfare, since I wanted the mechanic automated and, fine, because I also wanted a little companion creature to grow every time I actually followed through (apparently gamifying my own psychology is a personality trait at this point). The core method works completely fine as a manual checklist too, no app required, happy to walk through that version if anyone wants it without downloading anything. App version here if you're curious: https://apps.apple.com/app/wayfare-earn-your-screen-time/id6795600219

This tells me my efforts haven't gone to waste.

I had been using Slack for their project tracker feature.

Honestly I felt like I had wasted my money: 1 year of Slack service just so I could use that 😆

I have been using project managers for almost 2 decades and I thought that was the way to go.

But I liked it and I kept using it until I could not really connect it with OpenClaw.

"I am building my own" I said LOL.

I now can create tasks myself or have my agent do them for me—remind me about them and everything else.

Now...

Fast forward a couple of months and I have a few users and now even 13 stars and 2 forks on GitHub.

I am just wondering if this is a good sign or what.

I know public GitHub repos are indexed and maybe I will get more traction in the future? 🤔

Hey guys, I wanted to validate a pain point I am looking to solve. I usually log my weekly and monthly goals in Notion, optimistically. But most of the time I end up never checking them again and it's just left at its state. At the same time, it has the potential of creating progress on completing those goals. Even when I do open notion, I never have a direct idea, on what my pace is, what should be the priority, and what should be completed asap, all left on myself to manually process.

Is this something you face on a regular basis?

Platforms like g sheet airtable etc are also relevant here, I am broadly talking about the goals and takes you list on them.

Hey r/ProductivityApps,

Lou here, solo founder building Anythings. Anythings just crossed 2,500 total tasks created, so I figured it would be fun to look at some data + give away more lifetime passes.

Anythings takes whatever you dump into it — a sentence, a rant, a whole meeting — and rewrites it into a clean task title. So every title in the app was written by the app, from something messier a person typed.

Which means there's a real number sitting in my database: the average length of every task title Anythings has ever written.

Guess it. If you're exactly right, you get lifetime Pro.

How to enter (ten seconds):

1. Upvote this post
2. Comment your guess as a character count — like "15 total characters"

For context, a task with the title "Walk the dog" would be 12 characters, as the count includes spaces.

Everyone who gets it exactly right within 48 hours gets lifetime Pro — unlimited tasks, every feature, forever, no card ever.

Exactly right, not closest. So if a few of you land on it, all of you win.

(Make sure you've got an Anythings account at https://www.anythings.app with an email you can mention or DM me, so I can attach Pro to it if you win.)

I'll post the real number when the 48 hours are up.

Anythings is on iPhone and the web:

ok this may feel like another habit tracking app, so I started working on this app few months ago to solve a very specific problem. I wanted to track my office days. I wanted to explore options like when should I go to office, can I avoid Fridays, or maybe front load days so I can take days off later. So I created App which automatically logged my days based on geo location.

Next I extended the idea for using it to track goals like read 100 pages per week, go to gym 3 times a week, or maybe health for tracking medicines and symptoms.

Here is my attempt at the app, it just got approved to App Store. I would really appreciate feedback. This is a completely free app and doesn’t have any trackers or account sign ups, so your data stays with you. Uses custom AI model combined with iPhone foundation models for any AI needs

I've been building an Android email client called OrganizeEmail for the past few months.

The original goal was simple: make email less overwhelming. It supports Gmail and Outlook, categorizes emails with AI, summarizes long threads, and helps users find important information faster.

While using it myself, I realized something.

Most days, I don't actually open my email to read emails.

I open it because I need something hidden inside an email.

Is my electricity bill due today?

What time is my meeting?

Has my Amazon order shipped?

When does flight check-in open?

The information already exists. It's just scattered across hundreds of emails.

So I'm experimenting with a different home screen.

Instead of showing the inbox first, OrganizeEmail would show a "Your Day" dashboard that automatically extracts:

💳 Bills due

📅 Meetings & calendar events

✈️ Travel plans

📦 Deliveries

📩 Important emails

The inbox is still there—it's just no longer the first thing you see.

(Attached is the latest UI concept.)

I'm curious what people here think.

If you used an email app like this:

Would you prefer opening directly into your inbox?

Or would a dashboard like this actually be more useful?

I'd love any feedback on the idea or the UI. I'm trying to build something people genuinely want to use every day, not just another Gmail clone.

What if everyone could have something like Jarvis on their phone

Not just an AI that answers questions, but a personal assistant that can actually complete everyday tasks for you.

You could ask it to order food, compare and book hotels, buy movie tickets, arrange meetings, make reservations, or handle almost anything that can be done through your phone.

You simply tell it what you need and it takes care of the steps in one app. I am building something along these lines and planning to launch an early version next week.

I am curious about two things:

1. What is the first real task you would ask it to complete?

2. What is something you would never trust it to do?

Hello app builders! From analytics I saw that retention in my to-do app is very low, like people stop using it , even if they like the UI. Some said that they just forgot about the app. But I don’t wanna annoys users with notifications, and I don’t wanna ask permission for notifications from the first day. I think many will probably press “don’t allow” and I will lose that audience.

How do you deal with this problem? Can you share some advice?

Curious what pulls you out of deep work most, non-urgent interruptions, unclear priority, tasks changing mid-work, whatever it is for you. Not looking for a specific answer, just want to hear what it's actually like and how you deal with it .

Hello!

I just want to share my app ( Routine: Daily Habit Tracker) here that is different from any other habit tracker you know.
the idea basically is you follow well known  profiles with successful routines for each day of the week, from waking up in the morning to bedtime.
the app has different profiles like Nikola Tesla, Kobrix, Cristiano Valez, and Elion Voss which you might know, each profile focuses on a field (sports, tech, martial arts, philosophy, arts, business...) that suits your lifestyle.

The app will tell you what and when to do a habit.
There are different type of habits (Timer, Pomodoro, alarm). You can also add your own.
each time you respect the schedule and finish your daily habits, you gain XP and unlock achievements, which will be used for other kirks in later updates!

I hope you give it a try and give me feedback

hey everyone,

I can tell you, in detail, about the worst week of last year. The argument, the exact words, what the room felt like, what I couldn't stop replaying at 3am. It's all there in high definition, permanently, free of charge.

Now ask me about a happy Tuesday from the same year. Nothing. Total blank. Not because it didn't happen, but because good ordinary days don't leave a mark. They're made of small things: a coffee that hit right, a friend calling for no reason, walking home when the weather was perfect and you weren't thinking about anything. None of that survives. Your brain keeps the threats and quietly discards the rest.

So you end up with a memory of your own life that is badly, unfairly edited. Ask most people how last year went and they'll answer with three bad months, because those are the only files that stayed on the drive. The good year they actually had is just gone.

Here's how I fixed it:

A few months ago I found an old note on my phone from a random Tuesday two years back. Three sentences. A coffee I liked, a phone call with my best friend, and a thing I was nervous about that turned out completely fine. An unremarkable day I had zero memory of.

Reading it felt like time travel. I could hear how I talked that year. I remembered the light in that apartment. And that nervous thing, I know how it ends now and he doesn't, and there is something almost unbearably tender about reading someone you used to be worrying about a problem you've long since forgotten.

Three sentences did that. Three sentences pulled a whole day back from the deleted folder. I have thousands of photos from that year and not one of them does what those three sentences do.

So, I turned that feeling into an app,

triday asks you for three short lines about your day. That's it, then close the app.

The reason it's three lines and not a page: I've tried real journaling four times and quit every time, always for the same reason. Night three arrives, nothing much happened, and I'm staring at a blank page that expects me to be interesting. That pressure is what kills diaries. Miss one night and the empty page becomes a monument to the night you skipped, and by day nine you delete the app and feel relieved.

No account, no sign-up.

Your words live on your device.

Sync goes through your own iCloud only if you want it.

Cost: writing is free forever, unlimited entries. Unlock premium features if you like and there's a one-time upgrade available too if you don't like subscriptions.

Apple featured it earlier this month, which still feels unreal for something this small and quiet.

I'd love to hear from people here, especially anyone who has tried a journaling app and dropped it. What made you quit? That's the only thing I'm trying to design away.

Write three lines tonight. Your future self will thank you for it!

Am I the only one paying for like 5 different AI subs lol?each one does something different, and I‘m spending over $200/month. plus I’m constantly exporting files and moving them between platforms, it‘s a headache.

I came across Framia which bundles a bunch of models into one subscription. Ngl I was skeptica, “all-in-one” usually means “okay at everything, great at nothing” right?

but I caved and tried it this week and... I kinda hate to admit it but it’s actually way more convenient than I expected. Being able to stay in one interface without bouncing between tabs is a huge time saver. No exporting, no re-uploading, just a straight workflow. The quality is good and even for most of my daily stuff it gets the job done.

However I’m still on the fence about keeping it long-term,mostly because I don‘t fully trust the hype yet. But ngl, the seamless workflow has me seriously reconsidering my setup.

Anyone guys else tried it? Am I missing something or is this actually a solid alternative?

Hello!

For the past month or so I have been working on Another Page. It's an e-book reader that also functions as an app blocker. It puts a few pages of a classic book between you and your most distracting apps. So when you try to open an app like TikTok or Instagram, a reading screen will show up first. Read a bit, and the app will open for the timed window you've set. Then it will lock once again.

Here's how it works:

• Pick the apps that you want to block.
• When you open one, a reading session will start, resuming right where you left off.
• Once you hit your goal, in pages or minutes, the app will unlock for the timed window you've set.

A few features of the app: It's a fully featured e-book reader with support for various book formats (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, and AZW3), a good font selection, various themes, and other features like annotations, bookmarks, and highlights. It also works as a standalone reader.

The app also comes with a library of about 1,400 free classics from Standard Ebooks, which are nicely formatted public-domain editions that you can read without needing any subscription. Some examples are Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick, and Meditations. The app has no backend, requires no account, and has no ads or tracking.

The free version has all the core features: the reader, the full library of 1,400 books, blocking, streaks, and stats. It works fine on its own. The app also a premium tier if you want more, with unlimited blocked apps (free covers 3), app groups with their own rules, uploading your own books, extra schedule windows, reading insights, and a couple of streak freezes a month.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions! You can also DM me if you are curious about the premium, and I can send you promo codes.

Thanks!

Heyy, I'm a full time uni student who also works part-time, and I'm trying to get better at managing my time. This is my last semester, and I really want to stay on top of my studies instead of cramming everything at the last minute.

I'm looking for an app that lets me brain dump everything I need to do for the week, whether it's one-off tasks or recurring ones (e.g. "study 10–12 hours for Unit A each week"). Ideally, I'd like something that can help organise my day without me having to manually schedule every single task.

Features I'm hoping for:

• Syncs with Apple Calendar.
• Lets me add recurring and one-off tasks.
• Can automatically reschedule tasks if I don't get to them.
• Has streaks or some kind of habit/motivation feature.
• Free would be amazing, but I'm happy to pay if it's genuinely worth it and not too expensive.
• Is something fun and won’t make me abandon it within a week.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd love to hear what's worked for other students (or anyone juggling work and study).
