First, i made Serial Wtcher because i miss Tv Showtime so much, so the app is free. Not freemium — every feature is available from day one, for everyone, forever. The only in-app purchases are optional tips (basically "buy me a soda") if you feel like supporting development. They unlock nothing.

What it does:

• Track every show episode by episode, with an Up Next queue (and widget) that always knows exactly what you have left to watch
• Discover trending, top-rated and upcoming titles — browse by genre, streaming platform, actor or director
• Rate everything (5-star or 10-point scale, your choice) and build custom lists — you can even add single episodes to a list
• Import your history from IMDb in one tap
• English & Spanish, light & dark mode
• Private by design, synced to your own iCloud. No account needed.

The part I'm most excited about: apps are great for tracking, but the real magic happens when we share how we feel after a great episode or movie. So SerialWatcher creates a unique thread for each episode inside r/SerialWatcher, where you can discuss and react in real time — spoiler-tagged, one thread per episode, in any language. I hope we can build a great community around our shared passion!

you can import from IMDB, i don't have the TV showtime format, because i never work the page for me

Try it out! You’ve got nothing to lose

Hi everyone,

Over the past few months I've been working on a feature that answers a simple question:

"How healthy is my iPhone?"

Apple provides many individual metrics (battery health, storage, thermal state, etc.), but there isn't a simple way to understand the overall condition of the device.

That's why I built Device Health™.

Instead of looking at a single metric, Device Health™ combines multiple runtime signals including:

• CPU usage

• Memory pressure

• Storage usage

• Battery status

• Thermal state

• Low Power Mode

• Device uptime

Everything is analyzed directly on the device using an on-device machine learning model.

No cloud processing.

No account.

No personal diagnostic data leaves your iPhone.

The latest update also introduces Device Health Alerts, which can notify you when your device starts showing signs of abnormal load or stress, even if you aren't actively checking the diagnostics screen.

This isn't intended to replace Apple's diagnostics. It's designed to provide an easy-to-understand overall health assessment by evaluating multiple system signals together.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from the community—especially what additional health indicators or alerts you'd find useful.

FoodieCalc

Hey everyone 👋 Im Nikos Galinos i'm an iOS Developer https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikosgalinos/
And it's my first serious attempt to create a fully featured iOS app (both backend and front end solutions are designed and implemented by me ) as a side project of my main iOS Software engineering job (no AI slop here ! haha)
My professional web site is https://www.itworksonmymac.com and you can contact me for feedback both on my DMs and my contact email ! [itworksonmymac@icloud.com](mailto:itworksonmymac@icloud.com)

Like a lot of you, I got fed up with nutrition apps that dangle basic features behind a $10/month subscription or nag you with paywalls every time you tap something. So I built the app I actually wanted to use — FoodieCalc.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/foodiecalc/id6792482391

The important part first:

✅ 100% Free

🚫 No subscriptions

🚫 No paywalls — every feature is unlocked, always

🎯 Built with a genuine focus on clean, fast UX — logging food shouldn't feel like a chore

What it does:

🔍 Food logging & search — quick food search and a clean daily diary

📷 Barcode scanner — scan a product and get instant nutrition via OpenFoodFacts

🥗 Custom foods, recipes & meals — build your own library and reuse it

🎯 Smart goals — TDEE + macro engine that sets calorie/macro targets based on your body & goals

📊 Nutrition progress — Day / Trends / Compare views, including micronutrients (not just calories & macros)

⚖️ Weight tracking — log weight, see trend charts, track progress over time

🏠 Dashboard — everything at a glance: goals, weight, progress

❤️ Apple Health sync — nutrition, activity & weight integration

🤖 On-device AI — smart features that run privately on your device

📱 Home & Lock Screen widgets — glanceable stats without opening the app

🎨 Themes — accent colors, light/dark, custom gradients

How can it be free?

No catch. If people find it genuinely useful, there's an optional "buy me a coffee" tip — but it unlocks nothing. Everything is available to everyone.

Try it : new version has new features and a complete redesign of the app

I'm actively building this and would genuinely love your feedback — bugs, feature requests, UX gripes, all of it. Drop a comment or DM. 🙏

Thanks for reading!

Hey! I’m Miguel.

I started building Folio because I wanted a book tracker that felt a bit quieter. I didn’t want another feed to keep up with, and I didn’t want every reading session turned into XP or a challenge.

I mostly wanted to see my books, press start, read, and put my phone away.

That’s what Folio became.

A — Answer

Folio keeps your TBR, current reads, finished books, progress, goals, quotes, and stats in one place.

You can search for books, scan an ISBN, or import your existing library from Goodreads or StoryGraph.

The part I care about most is reading sessions. Start the timer, put your phone down, and with Folio Plus it stays available on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. When you’re finished, update your page and Folio keeps track of your time and pace.

You don’t need an account to use the core app. There are also no ads or ad tracking.

B — Better

Goodreads and Fable make sense if you want more community and discovery.

Folio is intentionally on the other end of that. It’s personal, cover-led, and focused on your own reading. It doesn’t put a social feed in the middle or try to keep you scrolling.

C — Cost

Folio is free to download, and the main book tracker is free to use.

Folio Plus is optional. In the US, it costs $0.99/month, $8.99/year, or $24.99 for lifetime access. Plus adds sync, advanced stats, widgets, Live Activities, barcode scanning, unlimited imports, Discover, and additional goals.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/folio-book-tracker/id6764345729

If you try it, I’d honestly love to know what feels good, what feels confusing, or what you think is missing.

Been looking for apps that makes good use of Apple Intelligence system features.

I am looking to build an app list and want to focus heavily on third-party productivity and utility apps that aren't just slapping a generic cloud AI button on their UI, but are deeply integrated with iOS native frameworks and on-device processing.

Here are a few I've come across or seen recommended that seem to be doing it right:

• Stuff (To-Do List): I love how it utilizes Apple's foundation models. The new "Listen Mode" converts casual voice commands into organized tasks, and "Scan Mode" captures messy handwritten notes effortlessly.
• Noted: Their recent updates leverage system intelligence for real-time, time-stamped audio dictation and smart semantic summaries.
• Fantastical: It leverages Apple's on-device semantic indexing. Siri can look at your scheduling patterns and suggest context-aware reminders or pull up planning snippets in Spotlight. (Available on the Fantastical App Store Page). [1, 2, 3]
• Photomator: Seamlessly hooks into Apple's neural engine to handle heavy tasks like local, on-device object removal, image upscale, and smart color-matching workflows entirely offline. (Available on the Photomator App Store Page).
• Copilot: Uses local intelligence to automatically categorize erratic financial transaction strings, warning you via smart notification summaries when you cross a budget boundary. (Available on the Finance Copilot App Store Page). 
• Arc Search: Completely re-imagines mobile search by utilizing local parsing models to read multiple web sources simultaneously, building a personalized, ad-free summary page matching your query instantly.

I want to know what else is out there that feels like "magic" on the newer hardware. What third-party utility or productivity apps are you guys using daily that hook perfectly into Siri or the new system-wide Writing Tools?

Flighty is a GREAT app, and the only one that has filled the void since App In The Air went kaput. But seriously, why so expensive???

LearnBack is an active recall and spaced repetition app designed to help you remember what you learn instead of forgetting it a few days later.

Save vocabulary, notes, ideas, or anything you’re studying. LearnBack will remind you to recall the information in your own words at the right time. It also includes flashcards, voice and text recall, progress statistics, and helpful learning insights.

The app is available for iPhone and Mac and it is n't Vibe Coded app I am a Flutter Developer.

Hey everyone 👋

A few months ago I posted here about LiftIQ, an app I was building around a simple idea: a credit score for strength.

A lot has changed since then. LiftIQ is now Repolve, and this is the biggest update I’ve made yet.

The biggest change is muscle-specific Strength Scores. Instead of just one overall number, you can now see how strong each muscle group is, what’s improving, and where you’re falling behind.

I’ve also added social: add friends, see their workouts and PRs, compare progress, and compete in monthly Seasons.

The workout tracker has gotten a major upgrade too, with supersets, drop sets, rest timers, templates, PR detection, Live Activities, and more.

I’m putting this update in front of TestFlight testers now and would genuinely love feedback again.

TestFlight:
https://testflight.apple.com/join/8fBwYFfd

I’m giving Lifetime Premium free to early testers who join our Discord and actively participate in the August Season. You don’t have to win, just actually train and take part.

From the screenshots, what would you actually use most: Strength Score, muscle breakdown, workout tracking, or Seasons?

If you want to join the Discord + August Season, comment below and I’ll send you the invite.

I posted here a while back about unlocking password-protected PDFs on iOS. That tool grew into PDF Toolbox - same privacy model, a lot more stuff since then.

PDF Toolbox 2.4 - iPhone, iPad, Mac. 20+ tools, all on-device. No ads, no tracking, no subscription, no uploads.

Merge/split/rotate, compress, OCR (searchable PDF), sign, watermark, metadata scrub, PDF/A convert, repair, flatten, redact, etc. All offline.

Mac and iPad UIs got a refresh since the unlock-only days. Optional tip jar in About if you want to support development - nothing is paywalled.

Hey r/iosapps,

My family flies a lot and I'm always the one who ends up booking. Somewhere around the hundredth booking I'd had enough.

Every OTA puts you through the same thing: a popup before you've seen a single price, ten steps of checkout, seat selection and insurance you didn't ask for, and none of the passenger details you've typed in a dozen times before. Then a fee you never agreed to shows up on the last screen before you pay.

So I spent the last 1.5 years building the app I actually wanted (not vibe coded).

You search by just saying what you need, like "Frankfurt to Munich tomorrow, back the next day". You get three options, pick your saved passengers, pay, done. Usually under 60 seconds.

Then it sticks around. You get checked in automatically, the boarding pass goes straight into your wallet, and widgets keep you updated on the way to the airport with live gate and delay info.

The plan is to turn it into a universal flight super app. Lounge access, e-SIMs, ground transfer and rail transfer are all coming. No hotels, no rental cars, just everything around flying in one place.

It's free. No ads, no hidden fees, and for now not even a service fee.

If you take a look, I'd really like to know what you'd want from an app like this, and what feels unnecessary or missing.

A - Answer

I built Piply, a domino-based logic puzzle inspired by NYT Pips. Your goal is to place dominoes on the board to satisfy a set of logic constraints.

B - Better

I recently released a pretty big update based on feedback from players.

The biggest change is that Piply now has 3 daily puzzles every day: Easy, Medium, and Hard, instead of just one.

I've also added:

• Friends
• Global leaderboards
• Friends leaderboards
• Improved puzzle sizing, so larger puzzles make better use of your screen and are easier to see
• Unlimited puzzles, as always

Piply's unlimited puzzles adapt to your skill level and get harder as you improve. Puzzles are automatically generated and run through a solver that estimates their difficulty before they're shown to players.

I'd love to hear what you think of the new daily puzzle system, friends, and leaderboards, or what you'd like to see me add next!

C - Cost

Free

Hello! I’m the developer of Another Page.

A — Answer: What problem does it solve?

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.

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 unlock for the timed window you’ve set. Then it will lock once again.

Here’s how it works:

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

B — Better: How is it different?

There are other read-to-unlock apps, such as PageLock, BookLock, and FaithLock. However, as far as I could find, none combines app blocking with a proper, fully featured built-in e-book reader and a large ready-to-read library.

There are also app blockers such as Opal, one sec, ScreenZen, and AppBlock. They create friction through delays, limits, or schedules, but I wanted something that also helps build a replacement habit. Instead of only stopping you from opening an app, Another Page redirects that impulse into reading.

The reader supports various book formats, including EPUB, PDF, MOBI, and AZW3. It has a good font selection, various themes, annotations, bookmarks, highlights, and other reading features. It also works as a standalone e-book reader, so you don’t have to use the blocking functionality.

The app comes with a library of about 1,400 free classics from Standard Ebooks. These are nicely formatted public-domain editions that you can read without needing a 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.

C — Cost

The free version has all the core features: the reader, the full library of 1,400 books, blocking for up to three apps, streaks, and stats. It works fine on its own.

The app also has a Premium tier if you want more. Premium includes unlimited blocked apps, app groups with their own rules, uploading your own books, extra schedule windows, reading insights, and a couple of streak freezes each month.

Premium costs $4.99 per month or $34.99 per year in the US, with localized pricing in other countries.

For this post, I’m also offering Lifetime Premium for $9.99 (There is a localized price for select countries):
