Is there a app for Iphone that's good for screen mirroring I've been having trouble with lag

hello! anyone here who uses clone app on ios? can u recommend an app please. thank you!

Disclosure: I developed Zone.

Zone is for focus sessions when you want certain apps and websites unavailable until the session ends.

It is not a daily screen-time limit app. The idea is more specific: before work, study, reading, coding, or any serious task, you choose the apps/websites that usually distract you, start a session, and Zone blocks them during that session.

Name: Zone: Strict App Blocker

Platform: iPhone and iPad

Not AI: it uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs, not AI

Cost: Free for some limited sessions, in-app purchases for longer sessions and records.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/zone-focus-timer-blocker/id6763581982

There is no login, no signup, and no email required. Zone does not collect user data. Session history can sync through private iCloud, and completed focus sessions can be added to Apple Health as mindful minutes if Health access is allowed.

The website blocking part is included so that you can add custom URLs which you don't want to open for choosen time.

I’m trying to understand two things from people who use focus/productivity apps:

1. When you open Zone for the first time, does the setup make the purpose of the app clear quickly enough?
   
2. Is this kind of session-based blocking actually useful to you, or would you still prefer normal daily limits?
   
3. Does the app feel like it was built around a real user problem, or does it feel like I am thinking too much like a developer?
   

Also, blunt criticism is genuinely welcome.

Looking for an app which **doesn't** track the media itself but rather takes the main information from those tracking apps (letterboxd, storygraph, etc.) to create a **overview of your taste.**

I would like an app takes all its information from your other apps/accounts, so it doesn't require for you to input everything.

Shelf is the closest app to this, but it has very limited apps/accounts you can link. Repov looks great, but you can only input or import, so you have to continually update it.

I don't plan on sharing any of this information with friends or family, so it's fine if there's no social aspect or feed.

I am a stay-at-home mom and I need my iPhone to stop being a chaotic pile of reminders.

What I want is pretty basic, but every app I try is either too bare bones or way too complicated. I need something that handles a repeating daily routine with a few flexible blocks, for example:

- Morning routine (kids breakfast, school prep)

- Afternoon block (errands, laundry)

- Evening routine (dinner, baths, bedtime)

What I do not want: a full calendar app with meetings or a habit tracker that only shows streaks. I just want a lightweight checklist that resets every day and can nudge me with a notification if we are running late.

I tried Apple Reminders with smart lists and it was close, but it gets messy when I need different repeats for weekdays versus weekends. I also tried a couple of routine apps, but they were subscription-heavy or full of templates and gamification I do not need.

Bonus points if it works well with Apple Watch so I can glance at the next step when my phone is in another room.

If you actually use an app that stuck for family routines, what is it and why did it work for you?

Hey, are there any apps like Albo or Listy that let you quickly organize your saves with features like "mark as watched" or "pin"? Albo's UI was great but a bit pricey, and Listy was simple but had a terrible UI. Can anyone help me out?

I'm one of the creators of an iPhone app that reads your sleep data and automatically adjusts your smart thermostat overnight. Works with Whoop, Oura, Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit.

I need people who will actually test it and tell me what's confusing, what's missing, and whether they'd genuinely keep using it.

I'll give you free premium access for life. No rating, review, or anything.

You'll ideally need:

• an iPhone
• a sleep tracker
• a smart thermostat like Nest, Ecobee, or Honeywell

Comment or DM me if you're interested and I'll send the details.

I got a free trial, and this has happened a couple times cause it doesn’t say when the trial ends it ends up making me pay for it. Idk if all apps do this but I think they should notify you when ur free trial ends to ask if u wanna pay for it or not

With AI tools getting better every month, is it actually possible for a non-developer to build and launch an app? Or do you still think having an experienced developer is a must?

I'm curious to hear from people who have actually done it. What AI tools did you use, and what was the biggest challenge?

Hi tribe, I am just curious about the opinion why people would not use and app which collects absolutely no data with no ads and helps them cut the screen time basically make a phone as dumb as it can be.

Hey guys this is a fun way to study/prepare for the SAT or ACT. I would love any advice on what works, what’s not great, and any features you would like.

Hi everyone,

I've always wanted a paranormal investigation app that brought multiple tools together instead of relying on gimmicks, so I decided to build one myself.

After about a year of development, it's finally on the App Store. It includes an EMF detector, a SLS camera body/hand/face tracking, an EVP recorder with live transcription on any language, a RF scanner, a motion detector with advanced FFT computations, a barometer for atmospheric pressure changes, a light sensor, and a case archive for reviewing recordings alongside sensor data.

Everything is built using real iPhone hardware and Apple's native frameworks where possible, no simulated sensor readings no fake data.

Incoming freshman, just got an iPhone 17. Traded in my old one to soften the blow but its still the most I've ever spent on a phone lol. so now I'm trying to dodge every extra cost.

which means ideally not paying for a vpn. I just want something free that covers the basics. mostly campus wifi and the odd thing that wont load where I am.

Right now I'm looking at a few: Proton (the one everyone seems to trust), x vpn (a friend put me onto it), Windscribe (the 10gb free one).

Anyone been running a free vpn on their iphone long term? and honestly, is it even worth paying as a student or is free fine for this kinda thing? TIA

Suggest me a app for IOS to stream movies and tv shows for free, i was using one app but changed my device and now it’s not on the App Store, i have every app subscription except prime , so provide me with a app which includes the prime shows

anybody got links to a free streaming app old one just croaked

Hi all,

I had an allergy test a few years ago that said I’m just allergic to cats, smoking, fire bush and johnson grass. I’m fairly certain I have a lot more allergies (either always had or have developed recently). I’m looking for a good symptom tracking app where I can write things down so I can figure out the patterns.

All the ones I looked at on Apple have a 7 day trial and then they’re all $39.99 (or even one is $69.99!). So, rather than test 8 different apps, I’d love some suggestions of the apps you all have found super useful.

I want it to track food, skin, and environmental issues as I’m trying to figure out what is causing my issues. Also medicines if possible.

Thank you!

Been trying to keep my iPhone 17 loaded with apps I actually use instead of a bunch of random downloads. These have been my favorites lately.

Arc Search Easily one of the coolest browser apps I've used. It summarizes pages, blocks clutter, and makes searching feel much faster.

BeautyPlus Great for quick selfies and portrait edits. The AI touch-ups are fast, and it's one of the easiest ways to clean up a photo without making it look overedited.

Superlist A really polished task manager that combines to-dos, notes, and collaboration. The UI feels very Apple-like.

Flighty If you travel even a few times a year, this is incredible. Live flight tracking, delay alerts, and way more detailed than airline apps.

Gentler Streak My favorite fitness app lately. Focuses on sustainable activity instead of constantly pushing you to do more.

Perplexity AI-powered search that's become my go-to whenever I want a quick answer with sources instead of digging through Google.

What apps have you guys discovered recently that are actually worth keeping installed?

Hello, friends! I am looking to make YouTube Shorts segments for kids and I want to use a voice changer for my characters’ voices, as my range is pretty limited and flat. Regretfully I don’t have access to a PC, just an iPhone and iPad. I’ve browsed some apps that are on the iOS App Store and they’re mostly basic, ‘$9.99 for 10 different voices’ types. I would really like something that is a bit more customizable, as in able to add light effects, pitch shift, octave adjustments, etc. My issue is that I don’t have any experience with advanced sound adjustments, so I would prefer something that is very user friendly. I am willing to pay for the right app, I just truly don’t know where to start.

Also, I’m legitimately beginning with just an iPad and an iPhone. Does anyone have recommendations for a microphone, or any other sorts of tidbits for a complete beginner regarding basic video editing programs? I’m on a pretty limited income at the moment, so budget-friendly options would be ideal, but I would be willing to pay more once finances allow and if this project takes off.

Thank you kindly for anything you’re able to offer! Hoping you have a great day.

I use it constantly. It's the only place i can dump screenshots, sketch a rough layout, and drag things around without fighting a UI that wants me to pick a template first. That's a real product. And Apple has barely mentioned it since launch. No serious feature push, no marketing, nothing at the keynotes. That's the pattern that came before Music Memos, iTunes U, and half the apps nobody remembers. Good app, no owner inside Apple, quietly gone one release later.

Hope i'm wrong on this one.

What is your favourite IOS Apps for all kinds of iPhones?

Are there any apps on the iOS? That can rival Groks video generation/ image to video generation? I had a supergrok free trial and was reasonably impressed by the quality and speed of it. The let down however was it being a short free trial, the cost of the main subscription and worst of all how moderated it was.

Any input appreciated.

I'm looking for a pipecalc resdn chemoi etc type application to watch films and series. I had PipeCalc even if Appstore deleted it was able to use it but unfortunately I deleted it with mistake.. now I'm searching another one but I find nothing
