📢 Announcement Clarification of Trust and Transparency

24 Upvotes

I'd like to further explain the rules found here since many people keep asking why their posts are removed:

https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1u9aw0f/riosapps_moderation_update_phase_2_trust/

Snippets below.

To qualify for the main feed, you need to satisfy 10 local karma requirements firstly. But this is what it means to be on the 2 tiers above Megathread:

Tier 1 — The Trust Path → Main Feed

Any one of these signals qualifies you for the main feed (as long as you also meet the 10+ community karma minimum):

  • App Store track record — your app has 20+ ratings/reviews on the App Store (number subject to change).
  • Established GitHub project — a real development history (100+ stars on any GitHub repo).
  • Recognized Developer — you've been granted an app-name developer flair (already well-known / trusted in r/iOSApps, at moderator discretion).

If you have any of these, you've already earned a measure of trust. Post to the main feed.

You have established yourself and the mods recognize that. We trust you to do the right thing for the goods of the subreddit. But do not abuse it.

Tier 2 — The Transparency Path → Main Feed

Not in the App Store yet and not an established developer? You can still qualify for the main feed by being open about who you are and giving users real reasons to trust you.

Posts on this path must include BOTH:

  1. A real-life identity and real contact details — your actual name and a way to reach you (an established company or business presence, a portfolio, LinkedIn). This shows you're not a throwaway account dropping unknown software.
  2. A website with a published Privacy Policy and Terms of Service — linked directly in your post. This is not a replacement for the App Store link, but rather in addition to.

This is the middle ground: you may not have a major reputation yet, but you're willing to stand behind your app in public. What we look for is the developer history or in the case of company, the willingness to take financial responsibility for it.

Not a throwaway account, not an app social account, not something people can spring up within an afternoon (gmail address, website without domain, etc.)

Thank you for your understanding to make the sub a better place for everyone. We would all benefit from the filtered visibility for quality apps.

💎 Lifetime I built a camera app for work photos. Now it's available on iPad too! 📸

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Answer

Hey everyone! I'm a solo indie developer building Clips, a camera app for work photos.

I originally built it because I was tired of having work photos mixed in with my personal memories.

I wanted a simple way to capture and manage work photos separately from my regular Photos app.

And now, I'm excited to share that Clips is available on iPad too! 🎉

You can now view and organize your work photos on a bigger screen, not just on your iPhone.

Better

With Apple's Camera and Photos apps, work photos end up in the same library as your personal memories.

Clips takes a different approach: keep work photos separate from the moment you capture them.

You can organize them with folders, tags, and notes, import existing photos, and export them whenever you need to use them in other apps.

And now, with iPad support and iCloud sync through Clips Plus, you can access and manage the same work records across your iPhone and iPad.

Cost

The core Clips experience is free.

You can download and use Clips on both iPhone and iPad for free.

However, to sync your work records between iPhone and iPad, you'll need Clips Plus.

Clips Plus includes:

☁️ iCloud Sync — Keep your work records synced across devices.
📁 Unlimited Folders — Organize your work photos without limits.

No subscriptions. Just a one-time purchase with lifetime access.

Clips Plus(US price): $12.99 — One-time purchase

🎈 Free I made BedStats, a free and private intimacy journal for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hey r/iosapps, I'm a solo developer and BedStats is my app. It's a private journal for your intimate life, whether that's solo, with one partner or with several.

Originally this was going to be a lightweight feature in another couples app I'm maintaining. Because it kept getting bigger and bigger I decided to put it in a standalone app. As a thank you to users of my other app I decided to make this one free (and worry about monetization later).

It features one-tap or Siri logging, a calendar that glows in your partner's color, a year view and stats, a page for each partner, an Apple Watch timer with heart rate, optional cycle tracking, and widgets plus a Live Activity. It runs on iPhone and iPad, in both light and dark mode.

Coming soon in 2.2: toy tracking, and importing your history from other apps or CSV.

It's built with SwiftUI and SwiftData. I'm happy to answer questions about the app or how it's built, and feature requests are welcome. Most of version 2.0 came from Reddit feedback.

HELP A one-star review on my tiny app ends with “this is fictional.” Feeling pretty defeated.

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

I know bad reviews are part of building an app, but this one honestly got to me.

I built Tether, an ADHD planner, originally for my wife. I struggle with task initiation too, so I’ve put a lot of care into making something useful for both of us.

Someone recently left a very long one-star review tearing apart the scheduling, design, pricing, pretty much everything.

Then, right at the end:
“This is a fictional, satirical review written for comedic effect.”

The review is fictional. The one-star rating apparently isn’t.

My US listing only has two ratings, so this brought the average down to 3 stars. Around the same time, some of my keyword rankings dropped by 7–15 positions. I can’t say the review caused those drops, but seeing both together has been pretty disheartening.

I’m not expecting everyone to like what I’ve built. But it’s frustrating knowing a review that calls itself fictional carries the same weight as someone’s actual experience.

Has anyone here dealt with something similar? Would Apple remove a review on these grounds? And if you’ve reported one before, how long did it take to hear back?

For context, this is the app:

🎈 Free I updated Meridian Passport, my free travel passport app, with a fresh design and a way to rediscover trips from your photos

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m Marinus, the developer of Meridian Passport. I shared it here previously, and wanted to show you the refreshed design and a new feature: Find My Stamps.

Meridian is an iPhone app that brings your travel memories, maps and friends together in one personal digital Passport.

Answer — What it does and what’s new

You can mark visited countries, keep a bucket list, and save trips as Passport Stamps with dates, photos and stories. Your Passport brings these together with your travel map and statistics. You can also follow friends’ journeys, react to their stamps and compare where you’ve been.

The biggest addition is Find My Stamps. It uses metadata from photos to suggest past trips, completely private and on the device. You review the suggestions, adjust countries and dates, and choose whether to add visited countries alone or create Passport Stamps too.

The idea is to make filling in your travel history easier when years of trips are already sitting in your camera roll.

I’ve also refreshed the app’s visuals—the screenshots show how it looks now.

Better — Why use it

If you use Been to track countries, Meridian gives you somewhere to keep the memories behind those visits too. If you share trips on Instagram, it adds a lasting travel map, journal and statistics alongside those posts.

I wanted somewhere to look back at my own travels and keep up with friends’ trips, with everything organized around travel. You can start by building your own Passport, even before your friends join.

Cost — Free

Meridian is currently completely free, with no subscriptions or in-app purchases, including Find My Stamps. Future monetization is undecided.

Download Meridian Passport on the App Store

I’d love feedback on Find My Stamps: do the suggested trips match your travels, and is reviewing them straightforward?

Thanks for taking a look!

🎈 Free I built Power Couple, a private budget app for couples: shared money, personal allowances, joint goals

5 Upvotes

My partner and I wanted one place for our shared money that didn't turn into either of us auditing the other. Most budget apps we tried were built for one person, or wanted our bank logins (and too many unnecessary functions). So I built one for the two of us, and now it's on the App Store.

What it does:

- **Private by design.** Entries are encrypted on your phone before they reach the server, with a key I never hold. No bank login, nothing connected to your accounts.

- **Safe to Spend.** One number: what is left after bills, savings goals and both allowances.

- **Personal Allowances.** Money that is simply yours. No approval, no explaining a coffee.

- **Forecast.** Pick expenses you could cut and see how much sooner you reach a goal.

- **Money Date.** A guided monthly sit-down: what changed, what happens next.

- **Less typing.** Scan a receipt, import a PDF or CSV statement, or just tell the assistant what you spent.

- English, Hungarian and Spanish.

**Pricing:** free right now. Everyone who joins during this launch period keeps it free for good, including after paid plans start.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id680279644

I'm the developer, so happy to answer anything, and I'd really like to hear what's confusing or missing. If it turns out useful for you, an honest App Store review helps a small app a lot.

HELP I built a calm, smart shared calendar & widgets for the small groups in your life. It's called Bunchday. Looking for beta testers on iPhone, rewarded with lifetime.

1 Upvotes

Every shared calendar on the market was designed for work and then awkwardly repurposed for your personal life. They give you a grid, a color picker, and call it a day. Nobody has ever designed one from scratch around how a couple, a family, a group of roommates, or three best friends actually coordinate their lives.

So I did. It's called Bunchday.

Bunchday is a calm, beautiful, widget-first shared calendar built for the small groups that matter most. It has a mascot. It has a soul. And it's finally ready for other people to try.

The idea is simple: your closest people deserve better than a Google Calendar invite. They deserve an app that actually feels like them — one where every person in the group has their own character, where your home screen shows a shared countdown to the trip you're all excited about, and where finding time together doesn't mean texting "when are you free?" back and forth for three days.

Bunchday is on iPhone, with a web app that works on Android and desktop. Mac and Apple Watch are coming. No account required — you open it and start. No ads, no data collection, your plans stay on your device.

What makes it different

🫧 It has a character, not just an icon. Every member gets their own Bun — a little round character in a backwards cap, in one of six pastel colors. Bun's mood shifts with your day: calm when you're free, focused when you're stacked, sleepy at night, excited when a plan with your group is coming up. It sounds small. It changes everything about how the app feels.

📅 The Today view is unlike anything else. A glowing rail lights up as your day moves forward. Pinch to zoom seamlessly from a 6-hour window all the way out to a full year. Buffer zones and free blocks are visible at a glance. It's the kind of calendar view you didn't know you wanted until you use it.

👥 Together view — the feature that should have existed years ago. See exactly where everyone's free time overlaps. No more group texts. No more polls. Pick a slot, create the plan, done.

🧠 It thinks ahead. Bunchday reads your email locally — on your phone, never on a server — and surfaces flights, hotel bookings, restaurant reservations, concert tickets, and invitations you've already received. Plans you've already made just appear.

📱 Widgets are a first-class citizen. Shared countdown widgets (everyone's Buns huddled around "12 days until Maya's birthday"). A Next Up widget in every size, including the new iOS 27 full-page widget. Your home screen becomes the calmest, most useful view of your shared life.

The full feature set

  • Bunches — shared calendars for couples, families, roommates, friends. Invite by link or QR.
  • Month, Year, and Tasks views alongside the Today timeline
  • Repeating plans and tasks with a smart Organizer that fits to-dos into your free time and shares the load across the group
  • Quick Add — type in plain words ("Dinner with Sam Friday 7pm") and it just works
  • Import from any calendar on your phone — iCloud, Google, Outlook, Exchange, all through Apple Calendar
  • RSVP and reactions on events
  • Morning brief notifications and day-before nudges
  • Six pastel member colors, dark mode with warm charcoal, and motion that respects Reduce Motion

Where it's headed

Cloud sync is shipping next — right now each device keeps its own copy, and I want to be transparent about that. After sync: push notifications for changes by others, Google sign-in on the web app, Mac, Apple Watch, event chat, shared lists, photo memories, polls ("which weekend?"), and Siri integration. This is v1 of a much bigger vision.

Why I'm posting

I need people who actually live in a shared calendar — people who know what's broken about TimeTree, what Cozi gets wrong, what Howbout is missing, what Apple Calendar can't do — to use this and be brutally honest.

  • Does it feel calm and clear, or is something overwhelming?
  • What do you rely on in your current app that's missing here?
  • Bugs, weirdness, crashes — all of it. Don't hold back.

🎈 Free Three months after launching my first app, Nomics: develops applicable economic understanding through real-world, interactive scenarios. Some info on updates, downloads, and the challenges

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Hi r/iOSApps!

About three months ago I shared Nomics, my first app https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1uew794/after_studying_economics_for_years_i_made_an_app/ . I wanted to share what we changed and what I’ve learned since launching.

Answer

Nomics is a free economics learning app built around animated explainers, interactive conversations, real-world scenarios and quizzes.

I studied economics and completed my master’s at LSE, but always felt there was a gap between learning the theory and understanding how to use it. Nomics connects topics like inflation, interest rates and banking to everyday decisions and the economic claims we encounter in the news.

It’s still an early MVP with around two hours of content.

Better

The main update: you can now pause and speed up levels.

One thing I underestimated was how differently people want to move through a lesson. Some need time to think; others understand the explanation and want to get to the next decision. Giving everyone the same pace was getting in the way.

Since adding these controls, we’ve seen longer average sessions. It’s a small change, but an encouraging one—and something feedback from this community helped us prioritise.

Three months in, here’s where we are:

  • Around 400 downloads.
  • Roughly 30% of our users active in the past month.
  • An average session of about five minutes, 5x industry average

For a small first release, seeing people spend time working through the levels is encouraging. It suggests the experience can hold their attention once they open it.

Getting users to open the app multiple times was the harder part. My suspicion is that the limited content and lack of personalisation are part of the problem. Someone can enjoy a chapter without having a strong reason to return the following day. We still need to understand how much comes down to content, relevance or the experience itself.

Looking back, I’m glad we released early. I could have spent much longer adding features based on what I thought people would want. Having something people actually use has made the priorities clearer: pacing mattered more than I expected, and an engaging session doesn’t automatically create a habit.

The next step is to give people more worthwhile reasons to return, through deeper content and learning that better reflects their interests and progress.

Cost

The current MVP is free with no ads.

🎁 Freemium I built GroceryBudget. You can now share a TikTok/Reels grocery haul into it and get a priced shopping list

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone :)

Answer

I'm a solo dev and I built GroceryBudget because my total at checkout was always higher than I expected. It keeps a running total while you shop, so you see the number before the register does.

Better

The newest thing is import. I kept saving grocery hauls and "what I buy at Costco" videos on TikTok and never actually using them. Now you tap Share on the video, pick GroceryBudget, and it reads the caption and the video itself (on-screen prices, items people say out loud), then builds a cart with the items and prices already filled in. The video above is the whole flow, no editing.

Works with TikTok, Instagram and Facebook links, or screenshots if a link won't open.

Everything else is still there: scan a shelf price tag instead of typing, the app remembers what you paid last time, and receipt scan for the trips you forget to track.

Cost

Free to download. Premium is $9.99 a month, $29.99 a year and unlocks unlimited imports and scans plus your full spending history.

Would love honest feedback, especially on what kinds of videos it gets wrong.

🤖 Vibe Coded WhoSpoke: turns a recorded conversation into a transcript split by speaker, linked to the audio

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi r/iosapps, I'm the developer of WhoSpoke. I built it because finding who said what in an interview or meeting recording meant scrubbing through audio.

What it does:

- Record in person or import an audio file from Files. Live captions show while recording; speaker separation runs after you stop.

- Each speaker gets their own color, and you can filter the transcript to one person.

- Tap any sentence to jump to that moment in the original audio.

- Export as text or Markdown, with or without timestamps.

Speaker separation isn't perfect, so everything is editable: rename speakers, move a sentence to another speaker, fix words, merge two voices. Edited lines can be restored to the automatic version.

Notes:

- It doesn't record phone calls or audio from other apps. Please tell people you're recording them.

- Per the App Store listing, conversation content never leaves your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking. The app goes online only to download language models, handle the purchase and show my other apps. The App Privacy label lists purchase history and an anonymous user ID (not linked to you).

- The first three conversations are free. A one-time Pro purchase removes the limit. No subscription, and existing conversations stay open to view, edit and export.

- The screenshots use a sample conversation, not real recordings.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6799442160?pt=576902&ct=reddit-iosapps&mt=8&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=whospoke-reddit&utm_content=r-iosapps-1

I'd love to hear where speaker separation gets it wrong for your recordings. Those cases are what I'm working on next.

📅 Subscription I built a tip tracker that does the tip-out math and shows your real take-home pay

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey r/iosapps! I'm the developer of Server44. It's a tip tracker for anyone who gets paid partly in tips: servers, bartenders, delivery drivers.

Answer

After a shift you put in cash tips, card tips, and hours (plus sales, if your tip-out is based on them). Tip-out gets subtracted automatically (bar, bussers, host, however your place splits it), and the app totals your current pay period: tips, wage, estimated taxes, and take-home. It also shows your hourly rate with tips counted in.

Pay periods match your real payday (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly), so the totals line up with your check. There's a calendar, a home screen widget, and PDF or CSV export for tax time. No account needed, and your tip data is stored on your phone.

Better

ServerLife, Just The Tips, and Waiter Pal are the big names, and they're all solid. I built this one around the paycheck math:

  • Tip-out rules can be a percentage of tips, total sales, bar sales, or food sales, and you can stack them, like 3% of tips plus 1% of bar sales. You set them once and every shift uses them.
  • The tax estimate uses your state and filing status. Outside the US you set your own percentage.

Cost

Free to download. The free version includes tip logging, tip-out rules, the tax estimate, the calendar, reminders, and every export format. It has no ads.

Pro is $29.99/year or $2.99/week, and both come with a 7 day free trial. Adds unlimited jobs, 90 and 365 day insights, pay period goals, and extra themes.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/server44-tip-tracker/id6758269550

Website: https://server44.app/

Privacy policy: https://server44.app/privacy/

Terms: https://server44.app/eula/

Question for anyone who works for tips: how does your place split tip-out? The app handles percentages of tips and sales, and I'm curious which setups I haven't covered yet.

🎁 Freemium [Dev] OneThing 3.0 — a daily journal, $0.99 until October 24 with lifetime access before the subscription switch

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve just released OneThing 3.0, and I’m celebrating with a $0.99 one-time purchase price until October 24.

I’m the developer, and I wanted to share what the app does and explain an upcoming change to its pricing.

A) Answer — what problem does it solve?

OneThing helps you focus on one thing each day and keep a memory of it.

You don’t always have time or energy to write a long journal entry. But a run, a quiet morning, a small achievement, or a photo from your day can still be worth remembering.

OneThing gives those moments a place through daily entries, photos, and reflections. Over time, you build a record of your life that you can revisit.

B) Better — what makes it different?

OneThing combines a daily focus with a personal journal.

A to-do list helps you track what needs doing. A photo library keeps your pictures. OneThing brings your daily focus, photos, and reflections together so you can remember what happened and how it felt.

You can:

  • Set a daily focus and record how it went.
  • Keep entries with photos and written reflections.
  • Browse past entries and search your journal.
  • See your month through a photo calendar.
  • Organize entries with tags and bookmarks.
  • Look back through a year in review with photos and recording statistics.

The idea is to make it easy to start with one thing, then give you meaningful ways to look back.

C) Cost — $0.99 now, with lifetime access

Here’s the pricing schedule in USD:

  • Through October 24: $0.99, paid once.
  • October 25–31: back to the original $5.99 one-time purchase price.
  • Starting November 1: OneThing will move to a subscription model for new users.

Everyone who purchases before the November 1 switch will keep lifetime access and will not need a subscription.

App Store link:

Download OneThing Daily

I’d love honest feedback from people who journal—or have tried journaling and found it hard to keep up. What makes you want to return to a journal? What tends to get in the way?

Feedback here or by DM is welcome.

Developer

My name is Andras Varga. I also develop Grivus Habit Tracker and Lingua Playlist.

You can find more of my projects at andrasvarga.dev.

A more personal note

What I like about OneThing is that an entry doesn’t need to describe an extraordinary day. Ordinary days are worth remembering too.

If you try it and find a bug, an unclear screen, or something you wish worked differently, please let me know. Specific feedback helps me decide what to improve next.

Thank you for taking a look.

💎 Lifetime Subscription Cost Tracker: Know Where Your Money Goes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16 Upvotes

Monthly plans, annual renewals, a free trial you meant to cancel, it can be surprisingly hard to keep a clear picture of what you’re spending.

I’m the developer of SubIQ, and I’ve just released version 1.2. I’ve improved the design and navigation, fixed bugs, and made things smoother to use

A — What it does

It’s a subscription cost tracker where you can add your subscriptions, see your monthly total, and get reminders before renewals or free trials end. There’s also a calendar for upcoming payments and widgets for checking what’s next.

You can enter everything manually or scan a bank statement or screenshot, then review what to save. You don’t need to connect your bank account.

B — Why use it over something else?

A spreadsheet in Apple Numbers works well for keeping a list. This puts spending totals and renewal reminders together, so you don’t have to maintain the sheet and set up separate alerts.

There are also cancellation and refund guides if you decide to stop using a service. You still handle the cancellation or request yourself.

C — What it costs

Premium lifetime access costs $49.99 as a one-time purchase

📅 Subscription I made Watermelist for the 12 unrelated things in your head — a sticky-note board you can talk to

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I’m Feiou, the developer of Watermelist — a brain-dump app where tasks, notes, and half-formed ideas share a sticky-note board.

A — A place for the whole thought

“Send Maya the draft tomorrow. The site should feel like a Sunday morning. Oh, and ask Dad about his old camera.”

There’s an action, a creative direction, and something personal in there. I want to keep all three without turning the whole thing into a checklist or leaving the action buried in a paragraph.

That’s the part of Watermelist I care about most. Speak or type the jumble, and AI can separate it into task cards and notes, picking out dates and details. You can also add things manually. Ideas get to stay ideas. Tasks can have checklists, stages, counts, or percentages, so progress shows up before you’re finished.

And when a plan changes, hold its task card and say what changed. “Move this to Friday.” “Add milk.” Or change the wording. You see the proposed edit and choose whether to apply it. Holding the card gives “this” its context.

B — Why use it alongside Obsidian?

Obsidian is great for developing and connecting notes. The reason I’d choose Watermelist over an Obsidian daily-note workflow for this particular job is the direct path from a mixed brain dump to separate, actionable cards — then updating one of those cards by holding it and speaking. That workflow is built in.

The board keeps the errand, the project progress, and the idea you don’t want to lose in view together. The screenshots show the same fictional everyday-life setup across a few themes, including Glass, plus the voice-edit review and diary.

C — Cost

Watermelist offers paid subscriptions. Access and offers vary by the paywall shown in the app; some users must subscribe before continuing.

US subscription pricing: $5.99/month or $29.99/year. Cloud AI usage is metered; a 200-credit add-on is listed at $2.99. Check the in-app paywall for the plans, pricing, and access available to you. Prices vary by region.

AI availability depends on your device and selected service. Cloud AI needs internet access and may process the text you provide.

My app embeds social media sites with an ability to add third proxy (can be same or different) with each social media account. Basically the app was made to remove reels and shorts from Instagram, Facebook and Youtube and save space in phone by not using native apps. Adding proxy is an add-on feature I added recently. Also note that the app doesn't provide proxy service but functionaltiy to add third party proxies.

B — Why use it over something else?

I'm not sure any app gives a funcitonality to use different proxies with different social media accounts. Plus you get an ability to hide reels and shorts which reduces your screen time.

C — What it costs

It's free to use with a lifetime upgrade of $5.99.

App has received 32 ratings worldwide with an average of 4.6 stars.

Does anyone have a solution for automating tests for iPhone Duo?
It seems that the Duo simulator starts always in closed state and I was not able for find a way to change it to partially open or open automatically (via a script, within XCTest of for fastlane screenshot generation). May be I have missed something in the documentation...

🎁 Freemium I built a power alarm app for iPhone

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm Anton.

Superclock is one app for every kind of alarm: on a date, before a meeting, for a reminder, or several in a row until you're up. It's built on Apple's AlarmKit, so it rings through silent mode like Clock.

A) Clock only repeats by weekday. Superclock knows dates, meetings and reminders.

B) Calendar and Reminders alerts are notifications that silent mode mutes. Superclock alarms ring.

C) Free. A few extras are one-time purchases. No subscription.

Would love to hear what you need from an alarm app!

🎁 Freemium I made LoopCare for “when did we last do this?” — now with shared household tasks

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi r/iosapps! I’m the developer of LoopCare, an app for the little things that keep coming around: changing sheets, replacing filters, watering plants, and remembering when you last did any of them.

A — Answer

“When did we last change this?” is one question. “Did someone else already do it?” is another.

LoopCare keeps a history alongside each recurring task. You can now share a task with family, so when someone takes care of it, everyone can see who did it and when. The completion and next due date sync across members, while each person chooses their own reminders.

The next cycle starts when you actually finish. If you replace a filter early, a 30-day reminder starts counting from that day.

And if you just want to remember when something happened, Log Only lets you keep a history without giving it another due date.

B — Better

Why use this if you already have Apple Reminders?

For me, the useful part is being able to open a task and see its story: the last time it happened, who did it, the gaps between entries, and what’s due next. That’s the part I’ve focused on with LoopCare.

It’s especially handy for things you do every few weeks or months, where “I think we did that recently” is easy to get wrong. With shared tasks, everyone can check the same record instead of asking around.

You can also look back through a calendar, heatmaps, and statistics. Records stay on your device, with iCloud for syncing and backups, and there’s no separate LoopCare account to create.

C — Cost

The free version includes the core features and lets you keep up to five active tasks.

If you need more, LoopCare Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase in the US App Store for unlimited tasks. No subscription. Prices vary by region.

The screenshots use demo tasks and names. I’m happy to answer questions about how it works.

🎁 Freemium OfferBee 1.0 is here — Credit Card Perks, Family Sharing, and a free 3-month Premium trial

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

A — Answer

A few weeks ago, we shared OfferBee here. Now OfferBee 1.0 is live, with a better way to keep track of the credit card benefits you’re already paying for.

The problem is familiar: multiple cards, different reset dates, unused credits, and that recurring question —“Which card should I use?”

OfferBee brings it together:

  • Track used and remaining benefits on your card
  • Get reminders before credits expire
  • Find the best card by location or spending category and reminders to use any available credit at that location
  • See the value you’ve captured against annual fees
  • Check credits and card recommendations through widgets
  • Ask Bee AI important questions about your spending and credits.

Add cards manually or connect supported accounts through Plaid to help automate benefit tracking.

B — Better

With 1.0, we’re making OfferBee more useful beyond your own wallet: family sharing for credits is now available.

It’s our newest addition: invite up to 5 family members to track everyone’s card credits in one place, while keeping each person’s other spending private.

You can also ask Bee AI questions about the cards you already have:

• “What credits do I have left this month?”
• “Which card should I use for dinner?”
• “What was my spend across all card last month ?”

Our focus is simple: help you see what’s available, remember what’s expiring, and choose a card without digging through benefit pages.

C — Cost

OfferBee is free to download. Core features include supported benefit tracking and best-card recommendations.

Premium is $9.99/month or $80/year.

To celebrate 1.0, we’re offering the [r/iosapps](r/iosapps) community a free 3-month Premium trial, on top of the usual 14 days.

Download: OfferBee : Credit Card Rewards
Claim the trial: Redeem Promo Code "GetOfferBee" in the App

What’s one credit card perk you keep forgetting to use? I’d love to hear what would make OfferBee more useful for you.

💎 Lifetime Honeyday: who is celebrating next, from your contacts, in a widget on the Home Screen and Lock Screen

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Birthdays and anniversaries already sit in Contacts. Honeyday puts them in one list, with whoever comes next on top.

A. Answer

Honeyday reads the birthdays and anniversaries from your contacts and sorts them by who is next, with the days left and the age someone turns. Days that belong to no contact you add yourself: the day you moved in together, the dog's birthday, a first date. It never changes a contact on its own. If a date is wrong, you fix it right in Honeyday and the list follows.

Most of the time the widget is enough. Small, medium or large on the Home Screen, and on the Lock Screen too. On ordinary days it stays calm, on the day itself it lights up in the color of the occasion, and at midnight it moves on by itself. A 30th birthday or a 25th anniversary is marked in the list and in the widget, early enough to plan something.

Reminders arrive on the day at the time you choose, and a few days before if you want time to find a present. Dates in the Chinese, Hebrew or Islamic calendar land on the right day every year. There is a note per person for the gift idea you would otherwise forget, and Siri and Spotlight know the dates. Since 1.1 you can pick which contact accounts Honeyday reads, if personal and work contacts share one device.

B. Better

  • The Birthdays calendar in Apple's Calendar app shows the same dates from Contacts, as events between your appointments. It is free and already on your phone. Honeyday puts them in one list in order, with the age and the days left, and takes the days that are on no contact card as well.
  • A yearly reminder per person in the Reminders app works too. You set up each one by hand, and it does not follow when a date changes in Contacts.

C. Cost

$4.99 once. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. The same purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, ten languages. No account and no server. What you set syncs through your own iCloud.

I'm Missaq Ataschi from Switzerland (https://missaq.com), and Honeyday is a one person project. Questions welcome.

💎 Lifetime [Lifetime FREE] Turning your travels into a collection of memories

Post image
40 Upvotes

I miss the feeling of opening an old passport and seeing all the stamps from places I’ve visited. Each stamp felt like a little memory of a trip.

That was the idea behind Travori.

You visit somewhere → use GPS to check in and stamp your visit. You can add a photo and a short note, and over time your map fills up with all the places you’ve actually been.

And if you’ve already travelled a lot, you can add places from your past trips too. You don’t have to start your travel story from scratch.

Basically, a digital passport for your travels — but with your memories attached.

I wanted something simple that I could look back on years later and remember where I went, the places I discovered, and what those trips felt like.

A — What problem does it solve?

When we travel, we take hundreds of photos and visit so many places, but over time, it becomes hard to remember exactly where we went or which places made each trip special. Photos alone don't always tell the whole story, and a list of countries you've visited doesn't capture the little places and moments that made a trip memorable.

Travori lets you check in at places worth remembering, attach photos and personal notes, and build a map of your travels with the actual places you've visited — not just the countries. You can also bring in photos from your existing library and add places from past trips, so you don't have to start from scratch.

The idea is to turn your travels into a personal collection of memories you can revisit years later, helping you remember not just where you've been, but the places you discovered and the experiences you had along the way.

B — How is it different?

Most travel apps focus on planning your next trip, booking flights and hotels, or tracking which countries you've visited. Travori is more about preserving the memories of the places you've actually been.

Instead of just marking a country on a map, you can check in at specific places using GPS, attach photos and personal notes, and gradually build your own travel map. You can also add places from past trips using your existing photo library, so you can start documenting memories from trips you've already taken.

Think of it as a personal digital passport combined with a travel journal and an interactive map. It's not just about collecting destinations — it's about creating a record of your travels that you can look back on and relive years later.

C - Cost:

The app is free to use with options to upgrade to Pro with more premium features available. We are also giving away 500 free lifetime code now for users to enjoy the travel season!

Link to the app: Travori

UPDATE: Due to the massive demand, we have decided to change the lifetime price of the app for FREE for 24 hours. NO PROMO CODE NEEDED! Please feel free to download the app and go through the app as usual and just redeem the lifetime free promo when you reach the payment page. Don't forget to leave us a review too if you enjoyed the app, your support meant alot to us! Hope you enjoy travelers! ❤️

UPDATE: Apologies to all that are not able to redeem this. Due to a massive demand that brings a huge bill to the api usage to ourselves, we can't afford giving out free lifetime anymore as it's very expensive to keep up. Hope you can understand and apologies for any inconvenience.
