Hi guys! About 12 months ago, I published my free Water Tracker app. No freemium model, no locked features.

If you’d like to support the app, you can leave a donation, but if not, that’s completely fine - all features are available for free.

In this update I added:

• Additional drinks. Some people asked for them, but if you don't need them, you can just hide them in settings.
• A new flexible add button to log drinks much faster.
• Some design updates.

Thank you to everyone who upvoted my post — we just crossed 4k downloads!

And special thanks to everyone who donated in the app. Even though it's a small amount, you can't imagine how much of a moral support it is and how much it cheers me up.

Give it a try, and if you like it, I’d really appreciate a rating or a review. It helps keep me motivated to continue improving the app and adding new features like widgets and an Apple Watch app.

Привіт. В першу чергу хочу вас попросити зайти в цей пост і апнути його )) буду дуже вдячний - https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1vlj9tt/big_update_for_free_water_tracker_app_try_it_and/
Таким чином я намагаюсь просувати свій додаток і якщо ви хочете допомогти - це буде просто супер.
Якщо ні - ну, тоді перепрошую за нахабність, це теж ок.
Я зробив безкоштовний water-tracker, і, на диво він не дохлий, а має трошки скачувань (на даний момент 3к скачувань і трошки більше 1к активних юзерів). Я думаю це поєднання моїх постів на реддіт та того факту, що він безкоштовний.
Але ця ніша настільки переповнена що я не дуже сподіваюсь на якийсь помітний успіх цього додатку.
В будь-якому випадку це класний досвід - ти не лише кодишь а вчишся взаємодіяти з юзерами, щось там аналізувати і таке інше.
І от мені цікаво - якщо я зумію постійними покращеннями і просуванням набрати більше юзерів - скажімо 10к., чи можна якось це монетизувати?
Так так, я розумію - можна зробити якійсь фічі закритими за пейволом, можна втулити рекламу у застосунок, але проблема в тому, що на мою думку це його просто вб'є.
Зараз в додатку є просто кнопка "Support App" і якійсь 11 добрих душ навіть закинули мені копійку.
Цікаво почути ваш досвід та думки - можливо хтось добре розбирається саме в цій галузі - монетизація трафіку і безкоштовних додатків (але не тих, що роблять igaming контори звісно).

Hi guys! About 10 month ago, I published my free Water Tracker app. I know, I know - there are a lot of similar apps out there. So what makes mine different? It’s actually free. No freemium model, no locked features.

If you’d like to support the app, you can leave a donation, but if not, that’s completely fine - all features are available for free.

In this update I added:

- watch app with complications

- widgets

- custom backgrounds (not all like default dark blue).

Also, since I was laid off and am currently looking for a new job, I want to try to monetize the app a little bit. No, I’m not going to add any restrictions; it will always remain free.

But here is what I want to try: the app already has a 'Support App' button, but I've never explicitly asked users for donations. Over all this time, out of more than a thousand users, 11 people have looked into this section and donated a total of $18.

I am incredibly grateful to these people. They really lifted my spirits and gave me faith that—if not with this app, then with another, more original and useful one—I will be able to make money.

Anyway, I was thinking: I haven't even really asked for donations. What if, once a month, I show a reminder screen asking users to buy me a cup of coffee, if they have the desire and ability to do so? If a user donates, this screen won't bother them for the next 6 months.

I think showing this screen once a month (it's not a hard paywall, the user can simply close it) doesn't seem too pushy or intrusive, right?

I'd be interested to know what you think about this.

Give it a try, and if you like it, I’d really appreciate a rating or a review. It helps keep me motivated to continue improving the app and adding new features like widgets and an Apple Watch app.

I’d like to share my small habit tracker app - HabitFlow.

AppStore link

I know the habit tracker niche is overcrowded, so I’m not going to pretend I built something revolutionary. My goal was much simpler: make a habit tracker that feels lightweight, fast, and not bloated with unnecessary steps.

That was the main frustration I had with a lot of habit apps I tried — too much friction just to create a habit and start tracking it. So I wanted to build something where you can open the app, create a habit in a few seconds, and move on with your day.

A few things I focused on:

• lightweight app size — under 9 MB
• no personal data collection
• simple and fast habit creation
• customizable home screen — you can keep it minimal or make it more detailed
• weekly habit tracking, stats, and calendar view

So what problem it solves: provide easy and not overcomplicated way to create habits,

Better (why it beats named alternatives), Cost (pricing, IAP, App Store link).

The app has a free version, and the paid version is intentionally priced lower than most habit trackers:

• $0.99 / month
• $4.99 / year
• $12.99 lifetime

Free version limits:

• up to 4 active habits
• stats screen locked

If you’ve tried a lot of habit trackers and got tired of apps that overcomplicate everything, maybe this one will be a better fit.

If you want to check it out, I’d really appreciate it. And if you have feedback — especially negative feedback — I’m happy to hear it. I’d rather know what feels weak than pretend everything is great.

I’m from Ukraine, so 2 years ago I bought an old Yamaha R1. I bought it for 6k$ (now in Ukraine prices even higher) and spent about 5k$ to make in good condition 🥲
Have you good experience, when your bike not sucks all your money for repairs and maintenance?

I’d like to share my small habit tracker app — HabitFlow. I wrote about it, I know, but I changed prices and also did a full redesign, so the app now looks much cleaner and more modern than before.

(To avoid any confusion: the person in the photo isn’t me - it’s my wife.)
Just curious. Here in Kyiv, Ukraine, people usually ride with friends. And if you don’t have any friends who ride motorcycles, it’s pretty easy to find riding buddies. We have a lot of local motorcycle group chats where you can meet people and join group rides.
Kyiv isn’t a huge city, so everything feels fairly close and it’s easy to connect with other riders.
I’m curious how it works in the US, especially for those of you who live outside major cities. How do you find people to ride with (assuming you don’t always prefer riding solo)?

If you’d like to support the app, you can leave a donation, but if not, that’s completely fine - all features are available for free.

I haven’t used any ads or paid promotion, just a few posts here on Reddit, and the app has grown to around 1,000 active users and 2.5k downloads.

Since the first release, I’ve added HealthKit integration, support for oz units (previously only ml was available), and fixed some of bugs.

The app is tiny (about 9 MB), doesn’t track any of your personal data, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Give it a try, and if you like it, I’d really appreciate a rating or a review. It helps keep me motivated to continue improving the app and adding new features like widgets and an Apple Watch app.
