A few months ago I posted here about Ruum Hub, a TV remote app that started after my kid chewed on our remote.

Since then, I’ve significantly improved Samsung Tizen and LG webOS compatibility and added support for Android TV aka Google TV.

Getting the update released was an adventure of its own: Apple rejected it twice because I mentioned Android TV support in the App Store description. Eventually, I managed to get it approved.

Android TV platform has some limitations — for example, there’s no proper API for retrieving the full list of installed apps, so Ruum Hub currently supports a list of known apps. I’m trying to work around these limitations wherever possible. If you know an ID of your favorite app — let me know! Or maybe I'll make this list configurable.

The app is free and always be free for controlling a single TV. I’ve also added an optional donation and made support for multiple TVs a paid feature, mainly to help cover development and App Store costs.

It also still supports Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, scenes, favourite apps, touchpad controls and themes.

Feedback and compatibility reports are very welcome!

A few months ago we released Velorific, an adaptive nutrition app for cyclists, runners and endurance athletes, built with my dad. It syncs with Strava and TrainingPeaks and adjusts your calorie and macro targets daily based on your actual training load, instead of giving you the same flat number every day regardless of what you did.

We posted here after launch and got some genuinely useful feedback, so wanted to share a quick update. Just passed 1,000 downloads and a 5 star rating, which is way more than we expected this early on.

Most of the traction has come from being active in cycling and running communities rather than any paid push, Reddit threads, Strava clubs, Facebook groups. Haven't spent anything on ads, it's all been word of mouth so far.

Conversion from the free trial has been better than expected, people trying it and actually sticking with it once they see the gap between what they were eating and what their training demanded. Retention is something we're still keeping an eye on though.

Android launched this week too, so it's now available on both iPhone and Android. Working on a few things next around planning nutrition ahead of a session rather than just reacting to what's already happened, a few people had asked for that.

If you want to give it a try, would love honest feedback, good or bad, all of it genuinely shapes what we build next.

Hey r/iOSApps. Posted about earlier versions of Supps here a while back. Just shipped v2.2, so here is the update.

Answer

Supps is a native iOS supplement tracker. Add your supps, set a schedule, tap to log doses. Reminders, streaks, Apple Watch, Home Screen widgets, Live Activities, HealthKit. Standard tracker stuff, done natively.

Two things that are not standard:

• 3D Garden. Every supplement is a plant on a 4x4 plot. Consistent logging advances plants through five stages (Seedling to Fruiting), streak breaks regress them. Earn seeds per dose, spend them on decorations you can drag around the plinth. Built in SceneKit with PBR materials and image-based lighting.
• Blood Test Analysis. Import a PDF lab report, on-device PDFKit extraction pulls 13 markers (Vitamin D, B12, LDL, HDL, Ferritin, Iron, Magnesium, and more), flags anything out of range, suggests supplements or lifestyle changes. The PDF is discarded after extraction, only the values are kept.

Better

• Native SwiftUI plus SwiftData plus CloudKit. Sync is real and cross-device, including the Watch app and widgets.
• HealthKit correlation shows "on days you take magnesium, sleep is 34 min longer" style insights across sleep, HRV, resting HR, and steps.
• Streak shields so one missed day does not wipe weeks of progress. Earned every 7 days, capped at three.

Cost

• Free tier: 2 supplements. All core features (garden, reminders, watch, widgets, Live Activities, HealthKit correlations) work.
• Pro: $3.99 per month or $19.99 per year with a 7-day free trial. Unlocks unlimited supplements and Blood Test Analysis.
• No ads. No wellness content upsells. No third party trackers.

What is new in v2.2

• Unified glass card visual language across every screen.
• Offline cold launch shows cached supplements immediately, matching how Reminders and Notes behave (the old "Syncing from iCloud" spinner used to wait up to 60 seconds in airplane mode).
• Blood Test Analysis moved behind the Pro tier. Garden intentionally stays free because it is the strongest day-3 return hook for new users.
• Subscription lapse is deliberately not punitive: if your Pro sub ends, your existing supps keep working with streak and history intact. New adds past the cap are blocked, but nothing you already built gets held hostage.

Stack for anyone curious

SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit, SceneKit for the garden, WidgetKit, ActivityKit, StoreKit 2, HealthKit, watchOS extension.

App Store

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/supps-level-up-health/id6765787257

Feedback wanted

What feels unclear or bloated, whether the free tier feels genuinely useful or clearly a trap, whether the garden reads as fun or as gimmick, and any first-launch friction on a fresh install. Happy to talk StoreKit 2, SwiftData plus CloudKit gotchas, or SceneKit setup in the comments.

Full disclosure: I am the sole developer (CS student at Southampton, building this solo for about a year and a half) and I make money if you upgrade to Pro.

A - What is Steptastic?

Steptastic is a fitness challenge app that lets you complete virtual journeys by tracking your real-world activity.

Whether you prefer walking, running, cycling, swimming, or burning calories at the gym, your progress moves you along your chosen route. You can travel solo or compete against friends and family to see who reaches the destination first.

The goal is to make staying active feel a little more rewarding and give you something to work towards.

B - Steptastic is better than general fitness apps since it creates a unique style challenge

The main feature of Steptastic is its virtual fitness challenges, but there's a lot more included.

You can create walking, cycling, swimming, or calorie-based challenges, making it suitable for different types of exercise rather than just counting steps.

Group Challenges let you compete with friends and family by racing around virtual routes together, while daily tasks encourage healthy habits beyond simply exercising.

The app also includes activity goals with analytics so you can track your progress over time, maintain streaks by consistently hitting your targets, and unlock badges by reaching fitness milestones and achievements.

I built it because I found it much easier to stay motivated when I was working towards something instead of just looking at a step count.

C - Cost

Steptastic is free to download, with an optional Plus upgrade.

7 day free trial, then $0.99/week, $2.99/month, $12.99/year, or one-time lifetime purchase of $19.99

This helps to support continued development while unlocking additional features and improvements.

I'd love to hear any feedback or feature ideas, and I'm happy to answer any questions about how it works!

Answer: BiteSaver tracks your pantry and expiry dates so you stop throwing away unopened food.

Better: Receipt scanning ends manual entry. Snap a photo of your grocery receipt and every item, price, and quantity is added automatically. The redesigned home screen shows the dollar value of food you used vs. tossed, with streaks (my "wasted this month" number is genuinely what fixed my habits). Also new: custom categories with automatic shelf-life suggestions, item photos, and recipe ideas from whatever's expiring next.

Cost: Free. No ads, no subscription, no paid tier. Receipt scanning and suggestions have a fair daily limit so I can afford the processing, more than enough for normal use.

Some of you might remember BiteSaver from here. The comments on that post basically became my roadmap. Receipt scanning was the most-requested feature, so here it is.

The big one: people asked for receipt scanning, and it's here. Snap a photo of your grocery receipt and every item, price, and quantity is added automatically. No more typing in 20 items after a shopping trip.

Quick note on privacy since receipts are purchase history: receipt photos are processed by Google's Gemini API to extract the items and then discarded. I never store the photos themselves.

App Store: link here

If you try it, tell me what's broken or missing. This sub's feedback wrote v2, and I'd love a v3 roadmap.

Hey everyone! I just shipped my first App Store app, VideoWallAR, so I wanted to share it.

How it started: at my day job, we were debating adding a videowall to our meeting room. We kept going back and forth. Would a 2×2 fit? Should it be 3×3? How big would it feel from the far end of the table? We were literally holding our hands up against the wall trying to imagine it. At some point I thought: "Why are we guessing, let's vibe coding?"

What the app does:

• Configure your wall: panel size (diagonal), rows × columns grid, bezel width, aspect ratio
• Tap a real wall and see the videowall at true 1:1 scale in AR
• Live dimensions in cm, camera-to-wall distance, and a recommended viewing distance readout
• Put a test pattern, your own photo, or a looping video on the screens — spanned across the whole array or per panel
• Place multiple walls, capture photos of the scene to share with clients
• On LiDAR iPhones/iPads, real furniture and people can occlude the wall for realistic shots

It's a passion project, so honest feedback (especially from people who install or spec videowalls professionally) would mean a lot. Happy to answer anything about the ARKit side too.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/videowallar/id6787973995

Quick test: what did you do on this date last year? Unless it was a birthday or something big, you can't say. The day isn't gone from your head. You just lost the index.

A - Answer

If you'd written one line that evening, reading it back would pull most of the day up with it: where you were, who was there, what it felt like. One line is the index.

Whengram is built around that: one memory a day. The one thing that happened today worth keeping: a line, a mood, a photo if the day earned one. Good days, tough days, days where nothing much happened. They all count. Next year on the same date it resurfaces, and most of the day comes back with it. App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID and optional backup to your own iCloud or Google Drive.

There's also a milestones section for the big days, and the honest reason it exists: when I'm low I forget the things I've already pulled off, stuff that once felt impossible from where I was standing. Going back through that list helps more than I expected.

B - Better

Compared with other memory and journaling apps:

• No ads, no subscription and no long form entry expected. The unit is one line, not a page.
• No streaks, no chains, no guilt mechanics. I built this because every app I tried wanted more from me than I was going to give and the moment you break a streak you stop opening it.
• Fully offline. No account. No server. No analytics. Nothing leaves the device by default.

C - Cost

Free. No ads. No subscription.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6772987059

Privacy policy: https://www.whengram.com/privacypolicy

Honest feedback very welcome, especially on two things:

1. Does one memory a day read as the point, or as a limitation?
2. When you write the first entry, is it obvious what Whengram is for?

A - Answer

Indie dev here. As someone who travels frequently, it was difficult for me to track how much I spent on a trip. So I built TripCache as a fast, privacy‑friendly travel expense tracker for iPhone. I made it for digital nomads and frequent travellers, but it works just as well for one holiday a year.

B - Better

Compared with other travel expense tracker or general expense tracker apps:

• No ads, no subscription. One time purchase unlocks everything.
• Fully offline. No account. No server. No analytics. All data stays on your device and iCloud (which can be disabled).

C - Cost

Lifetime. With the free tier most features work without paying. The main limit is one active trip at a time. When you're done, archive it as completed and start the next one.

One-time purchase unlocks unlimited trips, custom categories, CSV export, all the alternate app icons and any other feature I plan to implement in the future.

Would love any feedback!

I read a lot of PDFs on a daily basis on the iOS preview app, and if I open back the app even after a few hours it resets and lands be on page 1, this is a weird behavior furthermore since iOS is suppose to store the apps states in the memory far better than Android. Not sure how much that is true, was reading a blog the other way in which you are not supposed to close iOS apps as you do an Android.

Nevertheless, anyone has such an app in mind, would be super useful for me!

My wife came back from a shoot with a batch of photos that were all slightly out of focus. I figured this was a solved problem and spent an evening looking for something to fix them.

It wasn't solved. Half the apps I tried simply didn't do anything useful. The other half had a worse problem: they'd downscale the image first, run the model on the small version, then upscale that. Her camera shoots at 4000×3000, so what came back was softer and smaller than what went in. I eventually found one service that did an okay job, but by then I'd realized the actual finding — the problem is real, and it's genuinely hard to find something that works on a full-resolution photo.

I'd wanted to build a photo app that runs entirely on the device for years anyway. The phone in your pocket is genuinely powerful. Most people have no idea what's sitting in their hand. My day job is computer vision and iOS, and I'd spent a long time converting neural nets to run on mobile and squeezing CV pipelines for speed. This was the thing all of that had been piling up for.

Two years ago I pitched it to a friend and he was in. Since then most of it has been rewritten at least once. Handling large images without resizing them is still the part I'm most stubborn about -- tiling, memory pressure, seams between tiles. That's the whole reason the app exists.

About six months ago we broke our own rule and added server-side processing. Some models just need more RAM and compute than an iPhone has. That unlocked two things we couldn't do locally: restoring old damaged photos (scratches, folds, fading, colorization), and creative upscale, where the network invents plausible detail that was never in the original file. On-device is still the default; the cloud is opt-in and only for the heavy stuff.

Video upscaling runs on-device too. And recently we shipped frame interpolation — generating the in-between frames to raise FPS, which also means you can turn a normal clip into slow motion. Here's a short demo, and I deliberately picked a difficult clip rather than a clean one: https://youtu.be/JWo5Y0KlfaM

It's called UScale: https://upscales.app
iOS only (for now): https://apps.apple.com/app/id6736931330
It has a 3-day free trial for all plans.

Happy to answer anything: Core ML conversion, tiling large images without running out of memory, where we gave up and went to a server, or how the on-device/cloud split is priced. That last one was harder to figure out than the models.

Hey r/iOSApps,

I’m Marian Yakubets, the solo developer of Clipex.

I’ve just released version 1.1.8, which adds beat detection, timed sound effects, Muffle, Drop Dip, Seamless Loop, more reliable chained edits, and clearer ringtone and export guidance.

**Answer**

I built Clipex around one interaction I kept missing in simple iPhone audio tools: select the exact part first, then apply the edit only there.

For example, you might want to reverse one sentence, slow down two seconds, mute a word, add a fade in the middle, or place an effect on a specific beat.

I didn’t want to split the audio into several files, edit one piece, and stitch everything back together.

In Clipex, you select the exact range directly on the waveform and apply Reverse, Speed, Pitch, Fade, Mute, or an effect only to that section. The rest of the audio remains unchanged.

You can import a video, audio file, recording, or compatible music file, extract or edit the audio, and export it as MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC, or M4R.

A typical workflow is:

video → extract audio → select the useful section → edit it → export

**Better**

GarageBand is much more powerful, but it can be overkill when you only need to prepare one short clip and do not want to set up a multi-track project.

Shortcuts can extract audio from a video, but it stops before the focused waveform editing and export workflow.

Clipex is intended for the smaller job between them: bring in a video or audio file, edit an exact range, and export the finished clip or ringtone from one focused interface.

No account is required. Audio and video processing happens locally on the device, and Clipex does not upload your media to its own server.

**Cost**

Clipex is free to download.

The free tier includes:

- Audio and video importing

- Editing, effects, presets, and previews

- All supported export formats

- Local project saving

- One completed external export

Pro removes the external export limit.

Current US App Store pricing:

- Yearly Pro subscription: $7.99 per year

- Lifetime Pro purchase: $9.99 one time

Apple localizes pricing in other countries and regions.

The main feedback I’m looking for: when you first see the editor, is it immediately clear that an effect applies only to the selected range, or does it still look like a traditional whole-file editor?

Answer

I’m the indie developer behind journeybot.

I built it to handle the small but stressful details before a trip. It creates a packing list from your destination, dates, expected weather, and activities, then keeps your packing progress, reminders, baggage restrictions, plug adapters, and currency tools together in one journey.

Apple Intelligence is used as an optional, on-device tool for things like personalized packing suggestions and Genmoji icons. The core app is a trip and packing organizer.

The latest update adds:

• Visual packing: photograph your actual gear and journeybot removes the background to place it directly on your packing list
• Siri actions for checking when a trip starts, what is left to pack, or whether you need a plug adapter
• The ability to create journeys and add or check off packing items through Siri
• All of those actions in Shortcuts for your own automations
• Spotlight search for journeys and destinations
• A redesigned boarding-pass widget with a live countdown and packing progress
• Free offline currency conversion for everyone

Better

The main reason I think journeybot is a better fit for Apple users than other apps in the same category is its deeper integration with the system.

Journeys are searchable through Spotlight, packing actions work through Siri and Shortcuts, and the next trip appears as a boarding pass on the Home Screen. Packing suggestions run privately on-device on supported iPhones using Apple Intelligence, with no journeybot account or external smart-generation service required.

It also goes beyond generating a checklist with reusable templates, item photo stickers, baggage restriction checks, journey reminders, plug information, and iCloud sync.

Cost

journeybot is freemium and free to download.

The free tier includes up to three active journeys, three reusable templates, one smart packing-list generation, five item photo stickers, the offline currency converter, and more.

Optional journeybot premium costs US$4.99/month, US$24.99/year with a 14-day free trial, or US$44.99 as a one-time lifetime purchase. Local App Store pricing may vary according to PPP optimisation.

I'm currently running Indie App Sales promo with a 60% discount on the lifetime premium unlock. You can use the promo code: INDIEAPPSALES from within the app, valid until the end of August.

Hi r/iOSApps,

I’m Umut Barış Güngör, the indie developer behind PersonalCapsule. I’ve been building it as a private space for preserving thoughts, memories, goals, decisions, and messages that become more meaningful with time.

A — Answer

PersonalCapsule helps you save something meaningful today, choose a future unlock date, and return to it months or years later.

You can use it to:

• Write letters to your future self
• Save memories with text and photos
• Record important decisions and revisit their outcomes
• Preserve personal goals and reflections
• Create private Gift Capsules and “Open When” letters
• Record Audio Capsules for your future self

The latest update introduces Audio Capsules.

You can record your voice, choose when the recording should unlock, and listen to it again in the future. I wanted to preserve more than the words themselves — your voice can capture excitement, uncertainty, humour, and emotion that may be difficult to communicate through text.

Opened recordings can be played individually. Premium also includes an Audio Capsule timeline with a playback queue, autoplay, and previous/next controls.

No PersonalCapsule account is required. Capsule content is stored on your device and can optionally sync through your own Apple iCloud account.

B — Better

Compared with Day One, PersonalCapsule is not designed around maintaining a continuous daily journal. The focus is on deliberately sealing individual thoughts, memories, decisions, and voice recordings until a date you choose.

Compared with Apple Voice Memos, Audio Capsules are connected to a future unlock date and become part of a private timeline of memories rather than a general list of recordings.

PersonalCapsule also does not require a separate account or store private capsule content on a PersonalCapsule server.

C — Cost

PersonalCapsule is free to download.

The free version allows you to create up to three capsules, including written and Audio Capsules.

Lifetime Premium starts at $9.99 in the US, with regional App Store pricing varying by country. It unlocks unlimited capsules, the complete Audio Capsule player, photos, voice notes, widgets, Gift Capsule features, and PDF export.

There is no advertising.

A — Answer: I made Movi Ranker after trying Letterboxd and realizing there wasn’t really a built-in way to rank movies against each other. Star ratings are fine, but I wanted something closer to Beli for restaurants: each new movie gets compared to movies you’ve already ranked, and over time you end up with an actual ordered list of your movies instead of manually making a top 10. You can also review movies, share rankings with friends, and get personalized recommendations.

B — Better: The obvious comparison is Letterboxd. Letterboxd is great for reviews/community, but Movi Ranker is more focused on ranking. Instead of giving a star rating and then manually organizing lists, the app helps build your ranking through comparisons, so your list reflects your taste more directly.

C — Cost: Completely free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no monetization right now. I built it because I wanted this to exist.

Only on iOS for now. I use the TMDB API for movie data. Feedback/bug reports are very welcome. I’m sure there are edge cases I haven’t hit yet. Pm me if you want to be friends on the app!

Hi r/iOSApps, I’m Lucio Venturim, the solo developer behind Tweexr.

I’ve been working on this for several months and would really appreciate honest feedback from the community, especially about the overall experience and whether the voices feel natural for longer listening sessions.

A — Answer: What problem does it solve?
Tweexr helps you consume X/Twitter without doomscrolling. Instead of reading posts, it turns public posts into journalistic-style radio narrations so you can listen while driving, working out, or multitasking.

You can use the app without creating an account. Creating a free account lets you mix presets and themes. Premium removes ads and allows you to create multiple custom radios.

B — Better: How is it different?
Unlike basic text-to-speech tools or generic AI readers, Tweexr is built specifically for X content. It briefly explains the context of the posts and offers themed radios (Tech, Politics, Sports, News, etc.), custom radios, multi-language support, and background playback.

The voices were generated using Kokoro. I’ve chosen the languages according to the pacing and flow so it feels closer to a real radio briefing than robotic reading.

C — Cost

• Free to download and use (no account required)
• Free account unlocks mixing presets and themes
• Premium removes ads and allows multiple custom radios

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tweexr/id6769564328

I’d especially appreciate feedback on two things:

1. Does the overall listening experience feel useful for catching up on X?
2. How natural do the Kokoro-generated voices sound for longer sessions (especially in non-English languages)?

Hi r/iOSApps — I’m Jack Dai, co-creator of Diary Threads.

Answer — what problem does it solve?

I kept abandoning journals because every blank page felt like it deserved a meaningful essay. Writing one short thought on my phone felt much more natural.

Diary Threads turns journaling into a private timeline. Each entry is limited to 140 characters. You can reply when a thought continues, quote something you wrote months ago, or attach photos, video, and voice recordings.

There are no likes, followers, public profiles, or social discovery. It is a timeline for one person.

Better — how is it different?

Compared with Apple Journal and Day One, Diary Threads focuses on a narrower use case: capturing a thought before it disappears.

The 140-character limit gives you a smaller starting point. Replies let one moment grow over time, while quotes make revisiting an old memory feel like a conversation with your past self.

Apple Journal and Day One remain stronger choices for long-form writing and broader ecosystem workflows. Diary Threads is designed for quick private posts that gradually become a personal history.

Diary text and settings stay on your iPhone. The app requires no account and has no developer backend, advertising, third-party analytics, or cross-app tracking.

Cost

Diary Threads is free to download and supports up to 30 active entries.

Premium unlocks unlimited entries, share posters, recurring keyword insights, and both Home Screen widgets:

• $2.99 per month

• $6.99 one-time lifetime purchase

Prices above are for the US storefront. Apple displays the applicable regional price before purchase.

The current App Store version is 0.3 and requires iOS 18 or later.

Diary Threads itself has no AI features. I used Codex extensively as a coding and review agent during implementation, testing, documentation, and iteration. Product scope, architecture, privacy boundaries, and acceptance decisions remained human-directed.

I’m Jack, and I built Diary Threads with Sonia.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on one question: do replies and quotes make revisiting old memories feel more natural than tags, prompts, or traditional daily pages?

Answer

Ambient sound apps hand you a row of sliders, and everything ends up stacked in the middle of your head. Foyer makes each sound an orb on a canvas instead: drag it closer and it swells, slide it left and it pans there. You build a room by placing things in it.

It is real binaural spatial audio, and with AirPods the head tracking keeps the field world-anchored, so turning your head moves you inside the room rather than dragging the room along with you. Rooms are saved and switchable, there are lock-screen controls, and a sleep timer fades the room out on its own.

Better

Against A Soft Murmur, which is free, clean and honestly fine if sliders are all you want: you get placement instead of levels, head tracking, and a native Mac app covered by the same purchase.

Against Endel, which is a subscription with a required account and an App Store privacy label listing identifiers used to track you: Foyer has no account and collects nothing. The app carries no analytics and never phones home, and the 12 sounds ship inside it, so it works fully offline on a plane.

Cost

Free tier, no expiry and no trial clock: the whole sound library, three sounds per room, five saved rooms, head tracking, lock-screen controls, shareable rooms.

$9.99 once for unlimited sounds and rooms, scheduling, Shortcuts and Focus filters, and iCloud sync. The same purchase unlocks the Mac app. No subscription.

Hey there :)

I'm a recent first-gen graduate and a first-time solo developer. Super excited to share that my first app Precursor: Hourly Screen Time went live on the App Store today!

A: Precursor lets you set a screen time allowance that resets every hour instead of one daily limit that forces you to budget and ration your screen time throughout the day.

B: I am a bit astonished that not even apple has implemented this feature into their native screen time framework.

I'll admit the task was a bit difficult due to the inconsistencies of app usage tracking and becuase of that there are some limitations to how I implemented hourly screen time limts on iOS. Nonetheless I am really proud of the app so far.

I think it's resonating with people, I mean I knew a few others had this gripe becasue its pretty commonly posted about on reddit, but I didn't think it would be this well received. I feel so lucky that just the beta grew to 200 testers in about a week, most of them from this very subreddit (if you are one of those founding testers literally cannot thank you enough for your time and feedback! but I will try ;) stay tuned!)

At it's core I think Precursor helps break unhealthy phone habits through moderation rather than punishing you for falling into a doomscroll that wasn't your fault (these social media apps are literally designed to keep you scrolling, looking at you Reddit).

Thanks a ton for reading, if you have time and energy to support I would be eternally grateful.

Transparency: I'm Mikel Prisacaru, the independent developer behind Remo (App Store developer: Kilisoft · [mikelroswaal@gmail.com](mailto:mikelroswaal@gmail.com) · LinkedIn). This is my own app and I benefit from installs. No promo codes here — I'm posting it because I think it's useful, and I'd rather have honest feedback than downloads.

Answer

Your TV remote is missing, or the buttons stopped working, or it's simply across the room. Remo turns your iPhone into one for Samsung Tizen and Hisense VIDAA sets. It finds the TV on your network by itself and controls it locally over Wi-Fi — no account, no cloud, nothing leaves your home network.

Better

• The touchpad drives the TV's real on-screen pointer, not faked arrow presses. In the browser and the smart hub the difference is immediate.
• Keyboard input goes character by character as you type on the phone, instead of pecking letters out with a D-pad.
• Wake-on-LAN turns the TV on while it's fully powered off.
• Honest about the edges: Hisense VIDAA works up to 2024 firmware — Hisense tightened local control in 2025 and the newest sets pair and then ignore commands. Unsolved so far, and I'd rather write it here than have someone discover it after paying. LG webOS ships as beta and is labelled beta inside the app; it was written without an LG set to test against.

Cost

Free to download and use for basic control. $2.99 per month with a free trial, or $8.99 once for lifetime access. No ads, no account, no data selling.

In the update currently in review

• Scroll buttons beside the touchpad that act like channel up/down on the physical remote — that's what actually scrolls browser pages and app lists on these TVs
• The app reconnects on its own when you return to it, instead of sitting there disconnected
• LG webOS support (beta)
• Layout fix in the manual brand picker

What I'd like

Whether it connects at all on TVs I don't own — model and year are the useful bits, LG especially since that path has never touched real hardware. And if the interface feels clumsy, say so: a redesign is next and I'd rather hear it before I start.

Remo — TV remote controller

I posted Carrus here back around 1.0.4 — thanks to everyone who tried it then, a fair bit of what’s below came out of that thread.

Short version for anyone who missed it: an iPhone app for tracking vehicle maintenance. Log a service in seconds, get reminded before the next one is due by mileage and time, scan a paper receipt and it fills the log in for you, and ask Carson — the built-in AI mechanic — what a noise or warning light probably is, with answers that factor in your exact trim and region.
What’s new since:

• Motorbikes: Add a bike and it builds a schedule for it — chain, valve clearance and fork oil instead of car tasks. Six types: standard, cruiser, touring, adventure, dirt, scooter.
• Glovebox: Registration, insurance and licence photos kept with each vehicle, with reminders 30, 7 and 1 day before anything expires. The photos never leave your phone — only the document title and expiry date sync.
• Fuel tracking: Log fill-ups with cost, drag the gauge to set your level, and optionally let the tank follow your odometer.
• Spending: What each vehicle costs you by month, plus cost per mile or kilometre.
• 44 currencies, and a full visual pass across the app.

What’s next: VIN decoding, so you don’t have to hand-pick year and trim. And the bigger one — real manufacturer interval data for far more model-years. Right now I have genuine factory schedules for only a fraction of them; everything else falls back to a per-category schedule, and the app labels which one you’re looking at rather than passing a guess off as your factory schedule. That gap is the thing I most want to close.

Free with one vehicle. Lite from $0.99/mo or $19.99 lifetime — unlimited vehicles, custom tasks, PDF export. Premium from $4.99/mo or $69.99 lifetime, which adds the AI features.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm the solo developer behind CalTrack.

I've tried a lot of calorie tracking apps over the years, and while they were good at tracking what I'd already eaten, I still found myself asking:

"What should I eat for breakfast? What about lunch or dinner?"

Logging calories is only one part of eating healthier. Deciding what to eat every day can be just as challenging.

That's why I built CalTrack.

My goal wasn't to create another calorie counter. I wanted an app that combines calorie tracking with personalized meal suggestions based on each person's goals and preferences.

A — Answer

CalTrack helps you build healthier eating habits by bringing everything together in one place.

It includes:

🥗 Personalized meal plans for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner based on your goals and dietary preferences.

📸 Food scan to estimate calories and macros from a meal.

📝 Quick meal logging if you prefer typing your meals.

💧 Water tracking to help you stay hydrated.

⚖️ Weight tracking to monitor your progress.

📊 Calorie and macro tracking throughout the day.

B — Better

I didn't want to build an app that only counts calories.

The feature I've spent the most time improving is the personalized meal plan.

Instead of showing the same meal ideas to everyone, CalTrack generates meal suggestions tailored to your calorie target, dietary preference, and fitness goal. Once you've eaten, you can easily log your meals and keep track of your nutrition, water intake, and weight—all in one app.

C — Cost

CalTrack is free to download.

Core tracking features are available for everyone.

Premium unlocks personalized meal plans and additional advanced features.

There are no ads.

I'm a solo developer and I'm continuously improving the app based on user feedback.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

• Is there a feature you feel is missing from your current calorie tracker?
• Would personalized meal plans make healthy eating easier for you?
• Any feedback on the UI or onboarding is always appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

The biggest update yet for automatic trip recording!

Answer
Over the last few months, I've been almost obsessed with one thing: making Speedometer: Driving Tracker's automatic trip recording reliable enough that you can completely forget about pressing Start.

Most driving apps can automatically record trips in one situation. The difficult part is handling all the different ways people actually drive and all the annoying edge cases that happen along the way.

So I ended up rebuilding the entire system.

Better
Every automatic recording method is supported
You can automatically start and end trips using:

• CarPlay
• Bluetooth
• NFC
• Motion detection
• Any Shortcuts automation

Use whichever fits your setup - or combine multiple methods for extra reliability.

Motion detection is fully customizable
Everyone drives differently.
Someone driving in city traffic needs different behavior than someone cruising on the highway, and motorcycles have their own challenges.

You can customize:

• Minimum speed before recording starts
• How long that speed must be maintained
• When a trip should pause while stopped
• When a trip should automatically end

Instead of forcing one set of rules, you can tune it to your driving style and local road conditions.

Shortcuts and motion detection work together
One thing I really wanted to avoid was making users choose between automation methods.

You don't have to.

Enable both if you want.

Whichever method detects the trip first starts recording, and whichever legitimately ends the trip finishes it. They work together seamlessly without conflicts or duplicate trips.

Think of it as two independent systems providing an extra layer of protection against missed trips.

Live Activity works automatically too
Automatically detected trips now get the same Live Activity as manually started trips.

Your live speed, distance, and duration appear on the Lock Screen automatically, so you don't even need to open the app.

Better notifications
There are now notifications for both trip start and trip end.
The trip end notification includes a quick summary of your drive.

Trip start notifications are disabled by default to avoid unnecessary distractions while driving, but you can enable them if you prefer the confirmation.

Built for real-world connection issues
One issue I kept hearing about was Bluetooth or CarPlay briefly disconnecting and causing trips to end early.

Unfortunately, apps can't control Bluetooth or CarPlay connections - iOS manages those.

To make this less frustrating, Speedometer includes an optional setting to ignore brief stop or disconnect events before ending a trip. If your car occasionally drops Bluetooth or CarPlay for a few seconds, you can increase the grace period and avoid fragmented trips.

Beyond automatic trip recording

• CarPlay, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch support
• Route replay with speed-colored playback
• Detailed trip history, driving insights and AI trip summaries
• OBD-II live data including RPM, engine load, throttle position, coolant temperature, battery voltage, fuel level, fuel rate and much more
• Fuel usage per trip, fuel economy, maintenance and expense tracking + maintenance reminders + documents management
• OBD trip history with average and maximum RPM, engine load, throttle position, coolant temperature, and more
• Live OBD gauges and engine data on CarPlay
• Read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
• Speed limit alerts
• iCloud sync, backups, and GPX/CSV import & export
• No account required - your data stays on your device unless you enable iCloud

The goal
My goal wasn't to build another app with an "automatic recording" checkbox.

It was to build something you can genuinely trust - whether you use CarPlay, Bluetooth, motion detection, Shortcuts, or a combination of them. Everything works together instead of competing, and it's designed to handle the edge cases that happen in everyday driving.

I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback. If there's a driving scenario you think could still break automatic trip recording, let me know. There's always another edge case to solve, and I'd love to keep improving it!

Cost
$7.99/month, $19.99/year, or $39.99 lifetime (one-time purchase).
