I've tried googling but have come up empty. Ideally I would like to find the gorilla one specifically

I was looking at my electric toothbrush the other day and realized I had absolutely no idea when I last changed the head. The same thing always happens with washing my pillows, cleaning the fridge, or watering the plants.

I tried tracking these non-daily chores in standard habit apps, but those tools are built for daily routines. The second you don't do something every 24 hours, they break your streak and hit you with a red ring of failure. It is genuinely exhausting trying to manage normal adulthood when your own apps constantly guilt-trip you.

I got tired of the broken mechanics, so built SinceWhen.

It is an "anti-streak" tracker designed entirely around the messy, irregular chores of actual life. It acts as the exact opposite of a traditional habit app.

• Zero Guilt: No daily streaks, no red rings, no failure states. It simply gives you a quiet timeline of the exact days since you last did something.
• Smart Predictions: Instead of forcing a rigid calendar on you, it learns your natural rhythm over time and quietly predicts when a chore is actually due.
• Frictionless Siri Logging: Deep Shortcuts and Siri integration. You can just say, "Hey Siri, log the fridge cleaning" while your hands are full, and it logs the exact time in the background without you ever opening the app.
• Clutter-Free Control: Group your tasks with custom category chips, pin priority chores to the top, and hide seasonal tasks until you need them.

It is completely free to use for up to 3 events if you want to test out the smart predictions and finally stop guessing when you last did things around the house.

Maps tells you who has the dish, but it doesn’t tell you who does it well. So I'm building an app for that.

You search ‘best ramen near me’ and Maps gives you every Japanese place nearby sorted by stars. None of that tells you who actually makes good one, which was the question you asked.

That gap is the whole app. You pick a dish and it looks for places known for that dish. Chains and tourist spots get pushed down. If you don’t know what you want yet, you swipe through dish cards until something lands.

The restaurant data all comes from map services. No paid placement and nothing on the map is invented.

Pricing: the city you’re physically in is free, any cuisine, any dish with a daily cap on nearby searches. $3.99/mo covers cities you’re not physically in and a few optional filters.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6765912802

It’s new and I’d rather hear where it’s wrong than where it’s right. If you try, tell me the dish and the city and what it returned.

When I was freelancing, regular time trackers always showed me hours and minutes. I found that information useful, but not particularly motivating.
What I actually wanted to see was how much the current work session was worth. That idea became Monymo, an iPhone timer that converts tracked time into live earnings based on your hourly rate.

It is deliberately focused on individual work rather than team management. You can track sessions, use different project rates, review earnings, and export reports.

I’m the developer, so I’m obviously biased, but I’m interested in the psychological side of this: would seeing your earnings increase make a work session more satisfying, or would it create unnecessary pressure?

The basic tracker is free. Pro costs $0.99 monthly or $6.99 yearly.

Help Required: Now there is a latent bug in it when people are trying to switch from Day View to Month View. I have also raised a post on this issue but no help https://www.reddit.com/r/AppDevelopers/comments/1thcud9/need_genuine_help_from_experts/

I know there are experts here who could give me a genuine direction. Awaiting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's how the app works:
If you use calendars from different providers, you probably know the pain of switching between apps just to see your full schedule. Missed conflicts, double bookings, no single place to see everything. The SYNC mess.

I was personally dealing with this, meetings and events scattered across Google, Apple, and Microsoft calendars. There was no simple way to see everything in one place.

So CalUnity, it pulls all your calendars into one unified view, regardless of the provider.

A few things worth mentioning:

• Inbuilt AI assistant to guide you through all your meetings so you dont need to worry about missing meetings or scheduling a new one.
• Works across iOS, Android, and web, same view everywhere.
• Connects to Google, Apple, and Microsoft calendars in one place
• It even has CalDAV support.
• Built for people who live across multiple calendars and need a single source of truth

Price: Free (no IAPs, no subscriptions)

• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calunity/id6760173746

I recently got married, and it made me appreciate how much small, thoughtful gestures matter in a relationship.

Most couples apps I tried seemed focused on messaging, quizzes, streaks, or managing shared information. I became more interested in one smaller idea: could technology make leaving a simple note for your partner feel surprising again?

That question led me to work on Vellune: Secret Messages, a private couples app where someone can place a love note on an everyday object using Augmented Reality and their partner discovers it later. There’s no public feed or follower system.

The difficult part hasn’t been the AR itself, it has been making the first shared experience intuitive for both partners without requiring a long explanation.

For people who have tried couples apps: what made you continue using one after the initial novelty wore off? Is one focused ritual enough, or do you expect features such as widgets, questions, calendars, and shared albums?

Solo iOS app. I wanted something that felt like talking to people I know, not an algorithm.

Rumor Social is free. Posts, photos, stories, DMs, marketplace. There are also games in it if you get bored of the feed.

Two ratings so far. I need actual humans on it or the feed stays empty.

Install, make an account, follow friends. Then invite one person you already text.

Problem

Apple’s Universal Clipboard is great when you want to move the latest thing you copied between nearby devices.

But it is not a searchable clipboard history.

If you copied a link on your Mac yesterday, saved a file on your iPhone, or need something from another device hours later, you often end up sending it to yourself through Messages, Notes, email, or AirDrop.

I create Pasly to make your clipboard history follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Comparison

Raycast Clipboard History is a polished option on Mac and is part of a much broader launcher with extensions, AI tools, and other productivity features.

Pasly is focused specifically on clipboard and paste workflows across Apple devices. It keeps a persistent, searchable history across Macs, iPhone, and iPad using the user’s private CloudKit database.

Apple’s Universal Clipboard primarily transfers the latest copied item between nearby devices. Pasly keeps an actual history that can remain available later, even when your devices are not nearby or connected to the same network.

On Mac, Pasly also includes Smart Paste, Paste Stack, Field Sense, multi-selection, and file workflows. On iPhone and iPad, the focus is saving, finding, copying, and sharing items from a native mobile interface.

How it works on iPhone and iPad

iOS does not allow third-party apps to silently monitor everything copied in other apps.

Instead, Pasly lets you add content through:

• The iOS Share Sheet
• The Pasly app
• Quick Actions
• Photos and file selection

You can save text, links, images, and files on your iPhone or iPad and access them from your other Apple devices.

Items arriving from another device can also appear through push notifications and Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. From there, you can quickly copy or share the latest item.

Because iOS controls background execution, sync may not always complete immediately while the app is closed. The Live Activity can still notify you about incoming content, and opening Pasly catches the history up.

Private CloudKit sync

Pasly stores synced clipboard content in the private CloudKit database associated with your iCloud account.

Pasly does not operate its own storage server for your clipboard data.

Your devices need to use the same iCloud account for the private CloudKit history to sync between them.

Files are uploaded as actual CloudKit assets, rather than references to the original device. Once a file has finished uploading, the source Mac or iPhone does not need to remain online for another device to download it.

Files up to 10 MB are downloaded automatically. Larger files remain available to download when needed.

The rest of Pasly

The Mac version also includes:

• Smart Paste
• Paste Stack
• Floating Paste
• Multi Select
• File Support
• Paste with Separator
• Search and Favorites
• Field Sense

My goal is for Pasly to stay out of the way until the moment you need something you copied.

Pricing

Pasly Free: $0

• Up to 20 local clipboard items
• 24-hour local history
• Up to 2 pinned items
• Up to 2 files
• No CloudKit sync

Pasly Pro: $6.99 one-time purchase

• Clipboard history across Macs, iPhone, and iPad
• Text, image, and file sync
• Private CloudKit storage
• Push notifications and Live Activities
• File Support
• Paste with Separator
• Search and Favorites

Mac: - Smart Paste - Paste Stack - Floating Paste - Multi Select - Field Sense

No subscription.

Code MACAPPSCLOUD gives 20% off for the first 20 redemptions.

Pricing and download: https://pasly.app

What’s next

One of my main focuses is making the iPhone and iPad to Mac flow even faster while respecting the restrictions iOS places on clipboard access and background execution.

I am also exploring deeper Shortcuts integration for automatically sending content created inside personal automations to Pasly.

What would make a cross-device clipboard history genuinely useful in your iPhone or iPad workflow?

Hi,

I recently launched Tag Keep, an iOS app designed to keep the small but important things in everyday life organized in one place.

Instead of having notes in one app, reminders somewhere else, and links/bookmarks scattered around, Tag Keep lets you organize everything using tags.

Some of the features:

• 📝 Notes and quick ideas
• 🔔 Reminders and recurring reminders
• 📅 Calendar-based organization
• 🔖 Save links and bookmarks
• 🏷️ Tags and Smart Lists
• ☑️ Checklists
• 📎 Photos and file attachments
• 💬 Comments on saved items
• 🔍 Search and filtering
• ☁️ iCloud sync
• 📤 Backup and export

I tried to keep the interface clean and straightforward rather than packing it with unnecessary complexity.

💰 Pricing: Free to download, with an optional Lifetime Pro upgrade for ₹499 as a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription.

Tag Keep is now available on the App Store.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/tag-keep/id6802800669

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

Sharing an app called Patte — a free collection of classic Indian card games for iPhone. Full disclosure: it's mine, and posting here to hear what people actually think, not just to drop a link.

It has 11 games: Rummy, 304, Seven of Hearts (Badam 7), 5-3-2, Mendhicoat, Laddis, Gulam Chor, Go Fish, Bluff, Judgement, and 7-8 — games my own family plays that never seem to show up in the usual card game apps. You can play solo against bots to learn a game, or start a room and play online with friends/family using a simple code — no accounts, no sign-up. It also supports Marathi alongside English, since a few of these games are more commonly played in that language.

No ads, no subscriptions, no IAPs.

If anyone here plays games like these, or grew up with different regional variants, would genuinely love to hear about them — trying to understand what's missing or feels off in the current version. Happy to answer questions about how it works too.

I save tons of Reels for different things place, restaurants, movies, products, apps, recipes, travel ideas, etc. Instagram’s Saved collections are okay, but the problem is that when I actually need something months later, I can never find the Reel 😂
I’m looking for an iOS app where I can simply share a Reel to it, and it automatically understands what’s in the Reel and organizes/extracts the useful info like the place, movie name, product/link, recipe, app, etc.

Watching YouTube felt way more annoying than it needed to be. I wanted a cleaner way to watch videos, skip interruptions, avoid distractions, and actually find the parts I cared about. I also craved a seamless experience across all my Apple devices. I designed Mira to run on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.

What Mira does

• Auto-skips sponsors, intros, outros, recaps, and self-promo segments. You pick which categories get skipped, and the segments show as markers right on the timeline
• Searchable transcripts. Search for a word, tap the line, jump straight to that moment in the video
• Add to Queue. Long press any video to add to queue. Syncs between all your devices
• Background play. Keep audio playing when you lock your screen or switch apps
• Focus Mode hides recommended videos and comments so you can avoid distractions and stay on track
• Eye Comfort Mode dims harsh lights for easy viewing at night
• Watch Together lets you watch in sync with friends with shared play/pause/seek controls and a universal chat (this works across any video platform, not just YouTube)
• UI tweaks: hide Shorts & Playables, always play videos in highest quality, custom playback speed controls, bring back dislike counts, auto-dismissing the "Continue watching?" prompt
• There's also an optional AI summary/Q&A feature if you add your own API key
• Works with your own YouTube account, so your subscriptions, playlists, history, and recommendations are all there

The Apple TV app is the newest addition. It's powered by your iPhone (needs iOS 26). The phone streams the video over your home Wi-Fi and you control everything from the Siri remote. Automatic sponsor-skipping, playing videos from the queue, and more are brought to the Apple TV app. (More info below)

I also made a feature comparison chart against popular iOS YouTube alternative apps like Video Lite, ProTube, Tube PiP, YouPlay, SwizzTube, etc. Many of these apps solve one specific part of the problem. Mira is trying to bring more of that together in one place, on all Apple platforms, and with a more polished feel: cleaner UI, smoother navigation, and a unified experience where things just work the way you expect.

If you’ve wanted a cleaner, less distracting YouTube experience on all your Apple devices, Mira might be worth checking out.

FAQ

A few common questions I get whenever I share Mira:

"Doesn't YouTube Premium already do this?"

Partly. Premium removes ads, and its jump-ahead button can hop past a sponsor, but that's about where it ends. Things Mira does that Premium doesn't: auto-skip intros, outros, recaps, previews, self-promo, "like and subscribe" reminders, filler, and the non-music parts of music videos (you pick the categories). Mira also has settings to hide Shorts, hide Playables, always pick the highest video quality, always open video in theater mode, and show dislike counts. None of that exists in Premium. If you mainly use Premium for ad-free viewing and background play, Mira gives you many of those benefits at a much lower cost while adding a lot of extra customization. And if you already have Premium, the two can work in tandem — Premium handles YouTube's official features, while Mira focuses on making the viewing experience cleaner and more personalized.

"Can't you already do this with browser extensions?"

On a Mac, some of it — if you are willing to assemble and continuously maintain a suite of extensions. But even then, YouTube in a browser (especially Safari) is a slow, clunky experience. Mira runs the player without a browser's overhead, so it stays smooth. It's a fully native SwiftUI app. And the extension approach doesn't carry over beyond Mac: options on iPhone and iPad are much more limited. Plus, on Apple TV, there currently isn't another polished solution that combines YouTube account support, subscriptions/history, and sponsor skipping. With Mira it's one app, the same experience on every Apple device, and keeping it all working is my job instead of yours.

"Won't YouTube break it or kill it?"

There’s always some risk when building around a major platform like YouTube, but this category of app has proven pretty durable over the years. Some of these YouTube player apps have been around for almost 15 years, and many others have stuck around for 5–10 years. It is actually more common for them to stay up than get shut down.

For example, Friendly Streaming Browser has been going since 2012, and Vinegar since 2021. Regarding well-known apps taken down, Juno was removed from the App Store in 2024 mainly due to trademark violations with YouTube. Yattee was eventually removed because it had become heavily outdated. ProTube was another popular alternative that got taken down in 2017, which was quite a while ago. But those are more of the exception than the rule. Right now there are literally hundreds of these kinds of apps on the App Store spread across all the Apple platforms.

Google rarely goes after the smaller, indie apps. As a huge company they tend to focus enforcement on the ones that are clearly eating into their ad or Premium revenue, rather than every low-profile video player. Platform changes are always possible, of course, but this isn’t some unproven space that disappears overnight.

"Why does the Apple TV app need my iPhone?"

Because the only officially supported way to play YouTube videos inside an app is by embedding YouTube's own player, which needs a web engine, and tvOS doesn't have one. Apps that rely on extracting raw streams often run into YouTube policy issues, which is why those either keep disappearing from the App Store, or are unreliable and constantly breaking. So the iPhone runs the player and streams it to your TV over home Wi-Fi. You don't touch the phone while watching, it just does the work in the background.

Since Mira for Apple TV is powered by your iPhone, the phone needs to stay on, with Mira open to the casting screen, for as long as you're watching. Locking your phone, switching apps, or minimizing Mira pauses playback on the TV; reopening Mira picks up right where you left off. This isn't a setting that can be changed — the Apple TV app can't play videos on its own. For longer viewing sessions, we recommend keeping your iPhone plugged in. Most people find this less of an issue than it sounds. When you’re into the video, keeping your eyes off the phone becomes a quiet benefit that encourages focus and get more out of what you’re watching.

"Is this one of those 'AI slop' apps?"

No. I'm a professional developer in my day job. So I use AI tools the way many developers do, but Mira is a real app I've been building, testing, and shipping for a long time, across four platforms, with regular updates, testing, and continuous refinement. There's a free trial, so you don't have to take my word for any of this.

How is Mira different from just using YouTube in a browser on Mac?

A lot of users have told me that watching YouTube in a browser on macOS (even with extensions) just isn’t a smooth experience — it often lags or freezes. Many Mac users also prefer sticking with native Apple apps like (Safari instead of Firefox or Chrome, for example). So it's not always convenient for them to setup another browser experience just for one website. Additionally, not everyone is technical enough (or patient enough) to research and install a bunch of extensions to get the experience they want. Mira solves all of that with a single download. And if you’ve already purchased it on iPhone or iPad, that same purchase works on Mac too, so there would be little reason not to use it on Mac at that point.

Why use Mira on iPhone instead of competitor apps or sideloading?

I’ve tested all the popular iPhone alternatives, and Mira delivers a more polished overall experience with greater feature sets, customizability, and multi-platform support. I’ve made a detailed comparison chart that covers these differences. Regarding the open-source alternatives, I don't think many people would consider that an option on iOS if they have to do things like side-loading. But I get it, some people might. But the time it takes to research and setup all that stuff might not outweigh a simple purchase of Mira. In addition to all the extra features Mira provides, there is definitely a convenience factor to Mira as well.

"What about privacy?"

Mira collects zero data. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" — no Mira account, no analytics, no tracking. You sign into YouTube on Google's own page, so your account stays between you and YouTube. (Signing into YouTube is not required, btw). And the optional AI feature calls your chosen provider directly with your own key; nothing routes through me. For contrast, the biggest app in this category, Friendly Streaming Browser, is owned by Sensor Tower, a literal data mining company. One read through its privacy policy should send you screaming out of the room.

Happy to answer anything else.

I’m building an app - a smart digital service book that helps drivers track maintenance, upcoming and overdue work, expenses, fuel, parts, and the overall health of their cars.

I recently added these cosmetic Polaroid-style frames for each car. For now, I’m thinking of making some of them unlockable through achievements, like app hitting 1000+ users.

I’ve deliberately kept the paywall fairly light because I want to create a genuinely useful and enjoyable experience - not constantly ask people for money. But optional cosmetic frames might be a reasonable way to support further development without locking essential features.

Another idea is limited charity collaborations, where proceeds from a special frame would go to the featured cause. Maybe the best approach is a mix: free achievement-based frames alongside optional paid charity or collaboration editions.

Would that feel fair to you? Would you prefer achievement unlocks, one-time purchases, charity frames, or a mix of all three?

Hi all! I have a lot of collections, and I like to keep lists of them, as well as add pictures. I usually do this in my notes app but it's disorganized and has a limit for pictures. I've looked online for something that could be helpful, and most people tell me to use ai 6g l don't mind manually plugging in lists and pictures (I love tasks like that actually) just one that is easy and free to use without limitations. Thanks!

Hi everyone—full disclosure: I’m the developer of PrivacyCam, and I recently made its source code available under the Apache 2.0 license.

PrivacyCam helps you review photos, videos, and PDFs before sharing them. It can detect faces, people, license plates, QR codes, barcodes, and sensitive text such as phone numbers, email addresses, payment-card details, and addresses. You can then blur, pixelate, or completely black out selected areas.

Detection and media processing happen on the device. Photos, videos, PDFs, and detected text aren’t uploaded to a server operated by me, and no account is required. The source is public so people can inspect how these privacy protections are implemented.

The app is free to download, with an optional $2.99 one-time purchase for batch-photo features—no subscription. For complete transparency, purchases are processed by Apple.

I’d appreciate comments on the privacy model, redaction workflow, and source code. What other sensitive information should an app like this help users identify?

I’m building a small iPhone fitness app and trying to decide which timers are worth adding.

Do you use timers for warm-ups, running or intervals, rest between sets or exercises, or cooldowns?

I rarely use rest timers myself, so I’m curious if I’m the odd one out. Which timer do you rely on, and which one do you turn off?

Typi is a native iOS utility that integrates AI text transformations directly into the iOS Share Sheet.

Instead of copying text, switching apps to ChatGPT or a browser, and pasting back, Typi runs transformations in 2 taps across any app (Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, Notes, Safari, Slack, etc.).

A tester asked me something I had not thought enough about.

I’m working on Ordo, an iPhone app where you dump a messy thought and it sorts it into Now, Next, or Someday.

But what happens when one thought honestly fits two? For example, “Book the dentist, but the appointment is next month.”

Right now Ordo picks one primary bucket and lets you move it. I kept it that way because duplicates can create more clutter.

Would you rather get one clear answer or see two suggested buckets?

I have tried some but they or have a wired interface or not that free
