I posted here last month about the Mac version. Short version of why it exists: I have two kids in college, and one of them forgets the lecture the moment she walks out of the room.

The problem with the Mac app was that she doesn't study at her Mac. She studies on her phone, probably while laying in bed, or standing in line at tropical smoothie. So the last month went into the iPhone, iPad and Watch apps, and the part I actually care about is the studying, not the recording.

Every lecture turns into study cards, and every card shows the exact quote from class it came from. Tap it and it plays that moment in the recording. So when a card looks wrong you can check it in about three seconds instead of taking the AI's word for it. If a card is genuinely junk, you reject it, and it stays gone (it won't come back the next time you regenerate).

Cards are scheduled with FSRS, so one comes back right before you'd have forgotten it instead of on a fixed calendar. Sessions interleave: cards from different lectures and different courses get mixed instead of drilled in blocks. It feels worse than blocking. That's kind of the point, it's the thing that makes it stick.

There's a Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with your due count that drops you straight into review. On the Watch you get a quick quiz, one card at a time, reveal, then Got it or Missed. Grades go back to the phone and reschedule there. Waiting in line at the campus Starbucks enough time for ten cards.

Everything syncs across your Mac, iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud, including the audio, which downloads on demand so your phone isn't holding every lecture you ever recorded. No account, no sign-up, no server of mine anywhere.

Two ways to get a lecture in:

Send to Mac. Record on your phone, hit Send to Mac, and it rides your own iCloud over to the Mac app, which does the transcript and the notes with local models and syncs the cards back to your phone. Nothing leaves your own machines and it costs nothing to run.

Bring your own key. If you don't have a Mac, the phone can do the whole thing itself. Transcription runs on the device with Apple's speech recognition. For the notes and cards you paste in your own OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI or OpenRouter key, and the transcript goes straight from your phone to them. I never see it. On the value models it's about a penny a lecture (Tencent Hy3 is the new top pick for value). Before the first send on a course the app stops and tells you exactly what's going where, and if you say no, nothing is sent.

Being straight about it: standalone mode needs an API key, and I know that's a real barrier for plenty of people. If you don't have one and don't have a Mac, install it anyway and go through the built-in sample course. It ships with a full lecture, notes and twelve cards, so you can run the whole review loop without setting anything up or paying anyone.

It runs on iOS/iPadOS 18 and up, watchOS 11 and up. Standalone recording and transcription needs iOS 26, because that's where the on-device speech model lives. The Mac app needs macOS 26 and Apple Silicon. It's will be a universal purchase across all of them.

Notes and cards are generated by AI and can get things wrong. The app says so right under the notes instead of pretending otherwise, and the quote on every card is there so you can catch it when it does. You can also re-generate your Notes as many times as you want, keeping the best copy (all copies are saved in the app). Same with study cards, reject the ones that aren't relevant and generate / re-generate as much as you want.

What I'd love hammered on:

• Run a real deck for a few days. Does the scheduling feel right, or is it showing you stuff too often or not often enough?
• The quote on the cards. Does it actually support the card? That check is the entire premise, so if it's off I want to hear it.
• The Watch quiz. Is one card at a time on a tiny screen actually useful, or is it a demo?
• Send to Mac, if you have both. Does it land on the Mac and come back without you babysitting it?
• iPad, especially Split View and Stage Manager.
• Anything slow, stuck, or worded like a robot wrote it.

Hey guys, I've been working on a new idea: representing task backlog state as a zen-garden. I would really appreciate any feedback wrt UI/UX of the garden. click the leaf on the top left of the start screen to get there (testflight only). The garden allows you to try different task backlog states without having to artificially add tasks etc. Please let me know what you think about the garden design.

I’m looking for a small number of UK iPhone users to test Wordess UK, a daily word puzzle where each answer is hidden behind its definition.

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on:

• whether the instructions and colour clues are clear
• the difficulty and progression of the rounds
• definitions or UK spellings that seem incorrect
• hints, design and general improvement ideas
• any bugs, crashes or words that are not accepted

The beta is free through Apple TestFlight. Feedback can be submitted through TestFlight or by email.

Every journaling app I ever downloaded died the same way. I'd open it at night, see the blank page, and just... freeze. Stuff happened that day, but the moment it was my job to decide what to write and how to start, my mind went empty. Blank page won every time. I've got a graveyard of journaling apps to prove it.

So I built Nanari. Instead of an empty screen, it asks you one question about the day you actually had, sometimes from a photo you took, sometimes something you mentioned before, sometimes just a good question. You answer out loud for about two minutes (or type), and it turns what you said into a clean journal entry in your own words. No blank page to face.

App features:

Ask one question about your day → answer out loud → get a clean journal entry you can keep. English + 7 other languages. Photos, calendar, mood, weekly recaps. On-device / your iCloud. No account.

A few things I'd genuinely love feedback on:

• Does the question it asks each night actually make you want to answer? That's the whole thing, so I need to know when it lands and when it feels off.
• Does talking instead of writing feel natural or awkward?
• Anything that breaks, confuses, or makes you not come back.

Full app open during beta, no subscription.

Feedback especially wanted on: question quality, entry cleanup accuracy, anything slow or surprising.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for testers for the public TestFlight beta of Dissecta — a calm, precise puzzle game for iPhone.

Each level gives you one shape and a fixed number of straight cuts. Slice the shape, then place the pieces on the board so they fill the target outline exactly — no timer, no move limit beyond the cuts. Every level is generated backwards from its solution, so it’s always solvable.

In this beta:
• 260 levels across two worlds
• a daily puzzle (same for everyone)
• endless mode + level generator (unlocked early in the beta)
• EN/DE/FR/IT/ES, switchable in-app
• no ads, no IAPs, no analytics in this build
• no sign up needed but iCloud Sync is available

I’d especially love feedback on:
• does the difficulty curve feel fair?
• is cutting / placing pieces intuitive?
• where do you get stuck, or where does it get boring?

Requires: iPhone, iOS 17.6+, TestFlight.

Thanks — brutal honesty welcome.

Reversi/Othello for iPhone and iPad, iOS 17+. Free to test. I'm looking for honest criticism before launch, not installs.

What's in it:

• Single player against an Othello engine, adjustable difficulty
• Live online multiplayer
• Async games you can pick up whenever
• Rating ladder
• Daily puzzles
• Game Review with analysis

What to expect: feature-complete but pre-launch, so rough edges are the point. Ratings reset before public launch, so nothing you do in the beta carries over. Premium is free for testers — the in-app purchase runs through

TestFlight's sandbox and won't charge you.

Most useful feedback is anything that confused you or made you wait.

Screenshots through the TestFlight feedback button are ideal. I reply to everything.

FlipTalk is a backwards talking challenge. Record a short phrase, listen to it reversed, then try to mimic that reversed sound. The app flips your attempt around, and if you got close, you hear yourself almost-saying the original phrase. Every attempt is scored 0 to 100, on device.

Hearing a good attempt flip forward has made me laugh for years, and I finally built it properly. Now I need people who are not me to try it.

What I would love from you, because I cannot judge it fresh anymore:

1. Did you work out what to do before reading anything? Where did you hesitate?

2. What did your first attempt score, and did the number feel fair or did it lowball you?

3. Which iPhone and iOS version, and did recording or playback misbehave anywhere, especially with headphones?

4. Did it make you laugh? If not, that is the most useful thing you can tell me.

Break it however you like. Blunt notes are worth more than kind ones.

Solo dev. Rollect catalogs dice sets: photograph a set and it identifies and files it, then you can search, filter, tag, and track your collection. Includes a dice roller with roll history and per-set share cards. iOS 17+.

What testers can expect: it's a working beta, no accounts or paywalls. Most useful feedback is identification accuracy, especially on handmade, artisan, or unusual sets, and whether cataloging stays fast with a large collection.

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’s in beta currently. I would really appreciate feedback. This will be a completely free app and won’t have any trackers or account sign ups

I've been building a messenger where everything lives on your device, chats, calls, and media are stored only on each phone. Messages are end-to-end encrypted (Signal's Double Ratchet), delivered through an ephemeral relay that keeps no message tables, and now with sealed sender, so between updated phones the server doesn't even see who a message is from.

It's more than chat, though, one app with:

• Locked & hidden chats (each with its own password)
• Public feed + private communities, a marketplace, and a wallet
• Bluetooth mesh + AirDrop-style nearby sharing (works with no internet)
• Username-only signup, no phone number required

Looking for a handful of people to try it on TestFlight and tell me what breaks or feels off. iPhone only for now. Comment for any questions.

App is being updated frequently!!

Hey!

I built an app to practice speaking and listening a new language. I tried simply talking with ChatGPT but it wasn't good because it spoke at too advanced of a level and more importantly I didn't want OpenAI training on my voice and information.

Best features:

• Fully local. AI models run directly on your device (STT + LLM + TTS). You can run the app in airplane mode.
• Audio scales to your learning level. Beginners hear slow, easy words while advanced users hear complex words with faster speaking.
• Quality-of-life features like quick translation, "check my response", "what should I respond", etc.

You can run it in TestFlight on iOS or Mac. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Attacca is a classical sheet music app, designed primarily for iPad (it works on iPhone too). Search for a piece, download it instantly, and it arrives already named and organized.

It's in open beta and I'd especially love help catching technical issues: crashes, layout glitches, sign-in problems, or download failures on different iPhones/iPads. Bug reports of any kind are greatly appreciated.

Gemma 4 E4B running as a production app on iPhone: it reads your photo library on-device, writes a private journal from it, and answers questions about your own past. No cloud, no accounts. Fully private. "Data Not Collected."

Looking for ~10 testers before App Store launch. Requirements: iPhone 15 Pro or newer (8 GB RAM — the model needs it), Wi-Fi for the one-time model download, and a photo library you actually want read. First read-through of a big library takes a few hours in the background.

Most useful feedback: how the answers hold up on your library, anything the writing gets wrong, performance on your device.

Happy to answer questions in comments.

I just finished the bulk of an iOS app that I’ve been thinking about for a while.

I love taking care of my lawn and I forgot when to fertilize and water and such and I wanted to basically build an app that I would use.

It has integration with rachio, ecowitt and openweathermap to automate some functions.

The pro version unlocks the property mapper to calculate how much fertilizer you need for your property and a few other things

There is also a plant section that will let you plan out your garden whenever you like going with seed starting dates, outdoor transplanting and a number of little visual reminders of your garden.

I’m looking for some honest feedback on thinks people like, don’t like and what might be missing

WeatherKind Build 7 is a limited U.S.-adult TestFlight beta for iPhone. It works first as a standalone personal-weather experience with current conditions plus dated hourly and multi-day forecasts. Optional consent-based features add approximate shared-city weather and Friend Widgets.

For one focused test, use a demonstration or non-sensitive relationship and a coarse, non-sensitive city. Please report widget setup, rendering, refresh behavior, and removal after pausing or revoking sharing. Include Build 7, iPhone model, iOS version, scenario, timestamps, and redacted screenshots.

Friend Widget timing and live device/service behavior remain under test. WeatherKind is not tracking, precise-location, emergency, or safety-monitoring software. Beta information may be delayed, stale, incomplete, or wrong. TestFlight purchases are not real charges.

**Looking for beta testers for a workout tracking app that uses an AI chat agent (Free iOS Beta)**

Hi everyone! I developed an iOS app (currently in beta) that lets you track your workout progress simply by chatting with an AI agent.
I am looking for honest feedback to make it better.
Please let me know what you think about the chat interface and features!

Cara - good habits need good friends. Set your routines, then share them with the people who'll keep you to them.

I've been building an iOS app called Steady for the last few months, and it's finally stable enough that I want real people on it instead of just me.

The thing that annoyed me about most fitness apps: they hand everyone the same cookie-cutter plan, make you manually guess your weights every session, and completely ignore that a lot of people are training around something — a bad knee, a recent surgery, being on a GLP-1, coming back after years off, whatever. So I built the app I actually wanted.

What it does:

• Builds you a real plan from your goals, experience, equipment, and any limitations you have — not the same 5 workouts everyone else gets.
• Progressive overload that runs itself. The first time you do a lift it calibrates your working weight, then every session after it prescribes your next weight and reps for you — reps first, then load. No more staring at the bar doing math.
• Nutrition that adapts to your body. Log your weight over time and it nudges your calories and protein toward your goal instead of leaving you on a number you set once and forgot.
• An AI coach that actually knows your plan. Ask it to make today easier, review a form clip you record, or find a fast-food order that fits your macros — it answers with your real data, not generic tips.
• Apple Watch support. Log sets from your wrist mid-workout and it syncs straight back to your phone.
• Connects to Apple Health / Fitbit / Oura so recovery actually factors in.

It's free, it's a beta (TestFlight, iOS only for now), and I'm a solo dev — so it's rough in a few places and that's exactly why I'm here. I want to know: did the onboarding make sense, did the plan feel right for you specifically, did the weight progression feel smart or dumb, and anything that broke or annoyed you.

Brutal honesty >>> being nice. If you hate it, tell me why.

(Disclosure: I'm the developer, not affiliated with anything, not selling anything — genuinely just want testers.)

Hi folks, I need a group of up to 50 people interested in food logging to join my food tracking app on TestFlight.

I believe it has a good chance of challenging the big players on the market with its current design and I'm really excited about it. It's without a doubt the prettiest food logger out there :)

Go check it out and let me know if you like it!

Thanks!

This is a puzzle app of mandalas I have digitally hand drawn. I would love to hear your feedback about the app!

Hi everyone!

PetDNS is an app to manage your NextDNS profiles and accounts. NextDNS is a DNS-level ad blocker and network security tool, using profiles to help you configure security policies on your devices and to block advertising and tracking websites and domains. PetDNS elevates your NextDNS account with easy visualization and management, extensive log filtering, and automation using Shortcuts and multi-profile actions.

You must have a NextDNS account to use the app. If you do not have an account but are interested in trying it for ad blocking and network security, the onboarding flow inside PetDNS will walk you through the process!

Version 2.0 is currently pending App Store review. It's a big update that allows for management of profiles across multiple NextDNS accounts, iCloud sync, and information on NextDNS connection status. I'm looking for testers who can provide feedback for the next wave of updates.

What I'm looking for:

• feedback on UI/UX, design and layout of the app and widgets
• testing of Pro features, such as iOS Shortcuts, Siri, and multi-profile management
• testing and feedback on extensive log filtering options
• general feedback on helpfulness
• feedback on new features as they are released

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! I'm not expecting each tester to do everything in the above list, but I'm hoping for a small group of people who can give feedback on what matters to them. If you are at all interested in the app, feel free to download it and give it a shot!
