🎁 Freemium I got tired of recurring chores clogging Apple Reminders, so I built [What-Else]

• Upvotes

quick context: I found that classic to-do apps are great for hard deadlines, but they suck for flexible, recurring chores.

whenever I put things like "water plants", "clean bathroom", or "swap bedsheets" into Apple Reminders, two things happened:

  1. Seeing 5 red, overdue tasks every single morning broke my system. The overdue badges lost their meaning, which made me ignore my entire to-do list…including the actual high-priority stuff
  2. Also it only told me a task was late, not how late. Did I water the plant 4 days ago or 3 weeks ago? No clue..

I wanted an app that just tracks: "When was the last time I did this, and roughly when should I do it again?"

so I built What-Else. It offloads all low-friction routine stuff away from the primary task manager:

  • native iOS design (SwiftUI)
  • shows exactly how many days since you last completed a task
  • flexible cadences instead of panic deadlines
  • widgets & Siri Shortcuts

it’s free to use (optional one-time/sub tip for advanced users).

Download: https://apps.apple.com/app/what-else/id6758564643

Built this solo, so genuinely looking for fb and what features are missing.

Happy Sunday!

PS: The app is also available in German with more languages to come

💎 Lifetime I wanted to make bedtime stories kids would remember, so I built Storyboat

Post image
0 Upvotes

I've been working on Storyboat, an illustrated bedtime stories app for children aged 3–8.

The idea was simple: create stories that are gentle enough for bedtime, but meaningful and memorable enough that children want to hear them again.

A - What does Storyboat do?

Storyboat is a growing collection of original, illustrated bedtime stories.

  • Thoughtfully written stories with memorable characters, gentle humor, and meaningful moments, without forced morals.
  • Beautiful illustrations that bring the characters and their little worlds to life.
  • Soothing narration with soft background music.
  • Read-along highlighting that follows every word as it's narrated.
  • Read mode for parents who prefer telling the stories themselves.
  • Sleep music with a timer to help children settle down after a story.

B - What makes it different?

Compared with storytelling apps like Readmio, Storyboat brings together original stories, illustrations, and narration in a picture-book experience.

A lot of care goes into each story. I spend time getting the pacing right, making the language sound natural when read aloud, and ensuring the illustrations capture the feeling of each moment.

The goal isn't to have the largest library. It's to build a collection of stories that children genuinely love and remember.

C - Pricing

There are free stories to enjoy, with no account required.

Premium unlocks the full collection:

  • $4.99/month
  • $29.99/year
  • $69.99 lifetime

There's also a 3-day free trial for eligible new monthly and yearly subscribers.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6796559765

Website: https://storyboat.app

I'd really appreciate feedback from this community, especially on the storytelling, illustrations, and overall experience.

💎 Lifetime [iOS] [$ 29 lifetime > Lifetime FREE] BetterGrin: Coach for your whole mouth

• Upvotes

Dental insurance is nothing more than a coupon book for dental procedures. Most of us have spent thousands of dollars on several procedures. Most of this is avoidable with good habits and following a schedule for dental cleaning, timely brush head replacement.

A: Just by how common bad breath is, we see that dental hygiene is often ignored. It has long-term health and financial impact. It takes under 5 minutes daily to maintain good dental hygiene and habits. Unfortunately, it's not a part of our daily routine.

B:

Most dental apps stop at timers and reminders. BetterGrin also: - Helps you get the most out of your dental insurance - Logs symptoms so you can describe them accurately at your visit - Tracks retainer, aligner and night guard wear - Reminds you to change your brush head, book cleanings, etc. - Generates a summary report for your next dental visit

C: $ 29 annual

FREE 1 year code:

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6762456228&code=2021714

If something doesn't work, please let me know and we will fix it. If you like the app, please give us 5 ⭐ on App store. It helps others find the app and motivates us to keep improving.

(Couldn't update the title to 1 year free. The lifetime plan was not part of the approved update. It will likely be approved with the next update)

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

Thumbnail

4 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.

🎁 Freemium Mood Space: 2.5 is here, apple health kit support & fresh new look

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Mood Space is a privacy-first mood tracker and diary built around a simple concept: connect your moods, emotions, and what they relate to. Through structured emotional logging, visual insights, Apple Health integration, and Apple Watch support, it helps users recognize emotional patterns and better understand themselves over time.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6756419827

Website: https://mood-space.app/

(A) What does Mood Space really solve?

Mood Space helps users understand not just how they feel, but also what those feelings might be connected to.

Instead of recording a mood in isolation, each entry captures the mood, the emotion being experienced, its connection, and a brief reason. This creates a richer emotional record that users can explore over time.

By tracking these details, users can discover recurring emotions, identify common connections, and better understand what might contribute to their happier or more difficult days.

Visual insights, weekly progress, and three different metrics End of Day (EOD), Median, and Mood Score offer different perspectives on emotional patterns. Apple Watch support makes logging convenient throughout the day, while Apple Health integration allows supported State of Mind data to be viewed alongside other health information.

Rather than simply recording feelings, Mood Space helps turn everyday emotional moments into meaningful insights over time.

(B) What makes Mood Space a unique app?

What makes Mood Space unique is its simple three-step approach to emotional tracking:

  • Mood: How are you feeling?
  • Emotion: What emotion are you experiencing?
  • Connection: What is that emotion related to?

Users can also add a reason to capture the specific situation behind an emotional moment.

This approach helps distinguish between how someone feels and the emotions they experience, while preserving the context that makes each entry meaningful.

Mood Space combines this structured logging with emotion frequency, recurring connections, timelines, calendar views, and multiple visualization methods. Whether users want to track happiness, explore stress and anxiety, or understand emotional triggers, the app adapts to their personal tracking needs.

Privacy is another core part of the experience. Emotional entries stay on the user's device, with no external collection of their emotional data. Apple Health and iCloud features provide additional integration with Apple's ecosystem.

Together, these features make Mood Space more than a traditional mood tracker: it's a personal tool for exploring emotional patterns and building self-awareness.

(C) Cost

Free: Completely free, with all essential features available without paywall restrictions however has limited restriction on maximum entry limit per day. Apple Watch features and Apple health supports are also included.

Pro: (1.99 USD/mo, 19.9 USD/yr, 34.99 USD/ lifetime) price can be vary based on region. Unlocks all statistics and progress metrics, log unlimited entries per day.

Note: Our new update also supports iPhone Duo; there are many more things to come. We see a full road map ahead

Developer: https://raslan1994.github.io

Privacy first: Your emotional journal is personal. Mood Space keeps your entries on your device and does not collect or send your emotional data to external services.

PS: Mood Space is designed to make emotional tracking practical, private, and easy to maintain. If you find it useful, I'd really appreciate an App Store rating.

Thank you!

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

Thumbnail
gallery
6 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 I built GradeLab for color grading on iPhone — here’s a real edit

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m Aftab, the developer of GradeLab. Here’s a quick look at editing a beach clip in the app, with the finished result at the end.

A — What does it do?

GradeLab is a video and photo color grading app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It gives you color wheels, curves, HSL controls, LUTs, scopes and masks to shape the look of your footage.

The video shows some of those tools in use, including the color warper, wheels, scopes and effects.

B — Why use it over alternatives?

If you’ve outgrown Apple Photos’ light and color adjustments, GradeLab gives you more targeted control: adjust individual colors with hue curves, balance shadows and highlights with wheels, check your changes with scopes, or grade just part of the picture using masks.

Processing happens on your device, and there’s no account required.

C — What does it cost?

Free to download, with grading, color wheels, RGB curves, selected looks and video exports up to 1080p without a watermark.

Pro adds tools including the color warper, hue curves, advanced scopes, film effects, LUT imports and 4K/source-resolution export. The video includes Pro tools.

Current pricing:

  • Lifetime Pro: $14.99, one-time purchase (on sale right now for a week).
  • Subscriptions: $1.99/week, $4.99/month or $14.99/year, auto-renewing.

Download GradeLab on the App Store

I’d appreciate feedback on the editing experience—especially how the controls feel on a smaller screen.
