Built a free, ad-free Bhagavad Gita app - Updesh

Radhe Radhe

I'm a solo developer. I built Updesh because I wanted to read/listen the Gita on my phone without ads, paywalls, or distractions.

What's inside:

- All 700 verses across 18 chapters
- Sanskrit, transliteration, and English translation
- Daily verse you can return to
- No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads

It's free because the Gita shouldn't sit behind a paywall, in my view. If it helps you, that's enough.

Would genuinely value feedback from this community, especially on translation accuracy and anything that feels off.

Please support me by trying the app and leaving a feedback on the Appstore.

Halves 4.0 just got approved by Apple — shared to-dos, groceries, widgets, and smarter task capture

https://reddit.com/link/1tgnoxe/video/og9k8gspkw1h1/player

Hey, I’m the developer of Halves, a shared to-do/list app for couples, roommates, families, and solo users.

Version 4.0 just got approved by Apple. This is the biggest update so far:

  • New chat-style Add flow: type or speak naturally, preview/edit, then save
  • Create multiple tasks from one message, including dates, reminders, assignees, notes, categories, and recurring details
  • Real subtasks with progress tracking
  • Shared grocery/list widgets that show actual list items
  • Multiple custom reminders per task
  • Encrypted photo attachments on tasks
  • Built-in 25-minute Pomodoro from task details
  • Better Siri, Spotlight, widgets, Watch, Live Activities, and notifications

The app is free, has no ads, no tracking, and task titles/notes are encrypted before sync.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/shared-to-do-halves/id6759830825

I’d really appreciate feedback from people who use shared productivity tools, especially whether the new Add flow feels faster than traditional task forms.

Do productivity apps actually work for you long-term?

Note: This post is not a hook to share my app lol. Honest answers only.

I’ve tried a lot of productivity apps over time, but I’ve always struggled to keep using them effectively.

At first I get excited, set everything up, organize tasks, lists, projects, reminders, etc. But after a while, I stop following the system and the app just becomes another thing to manage.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m just not structured enough to use these apps properly, or if many productivity apps are too complicated for how people actually work day to day.

Has anyone else felt the same? What has actually helped you stick with a productivity app long-term?

Anyone gotten through 5.1.2(i) review on a third-party AI feature? What did the consent flow actually look like?

Quick context: I run a shared task app (couples/roommates). It has a chat composer where you type stuff like "remind me to call mom tomorrow at 6" and it gets parsed into a structured task. The parse runs through our Supabase Edge Function which proxies Gemini. No account info, profile, or stored tasks are sent. Just the text the user typed plus locale and today's date.

Right now I have a dismissible banner on first open that says "Gemini may process this chat." User can dismiss the X and keep going.

Reading the Nov 2025 update to 5.1.2(i) and the dev forum threads from Feb, that's clearly not enough. The rejections I'm seeing on the forums say apps need to (a) name the AI provider, (b) say what data is sent, (c) get explicit permission before the first call.

Hi, Had chronic hives for a while now, near-daily. Also get these episodes where my chest feels full and I can’t quite get a proper breath in, worse at night.

Bloodwork was mostly clean. Doc ran an allergy test, came back positive for dust mites. He said that’s the diagnosis, very common here in Sweden. Plan is dust mite avoidance and see.
Has anyone here been told the same? Did the avoidance stuff (encasings, 60° washes, low humidity) actually clear your hives, or did you end up on antihistamines / Xolair anyway?

Also curious if your doctor treated the dust mite allergy and the urticaria as one condition or two separate things. Mine is treating it as one and I’m not sure what to make of that.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
