Hey everyone,
I’m currently working on a massive overhaul for my iOS life organizer, ListnPlan, and I really need some brutal feedback on the direction I’m taking.
The Problem:
The live version of the app has a ton of useful utility tools—a Shopping List, Meal Planner, Water Tracker, Activity Planner, Pantry Inventory, and Weight Tracker. However, the old interface treated them like isolated islands. You had to constantly jump between tabs, and none of the features communicated with each other. It felt clunky and fragmented.
The Fix
(As seen in Screenshot ):
I dropped old iOS Storyboards entirely and rewrote the frontend from scratch in native SwiftUI. I scrapped the old tab structure for a unified "Overview" Dashboard.
Now, everything talks to each other in a single ecosystem:
Where I need your thoughts:
Let me know what you think. Don't hold back on the UI/UX critiques!
(Note: The live version on the App Store is still running the old, disjointed interface. This new SwiftUI build is currently running purely in the simulator while I polish it up, so I don't have a TestFlight link ready quite yet. Looking forward to your design feedback!)
🚨 Apple just quietly raised prices across its entire ecosystem due to global supply chain/component shortages. While the Mac and iPad hikes made headlines, the home and wearable lines got hit too.
Here is the damage:
• Apple TV (Wi-Fi): $129 → $199
• Apple TV (Ethernet): $149 → $249
• HomePod: $299 → $349
• HomePod mini: $99 → $129
• Vision Pro: $3,499 → $3,699
If you’ve been on the fence about buying any of these, check third-party retailers like Amazon or Best Buy ASAP before they update their stock pricing!
The Discovery:
Widgets aren't just for looking at info anymore. You can actually use the apps from your Home Screen.
The Solution:
The Result:
You can complete tasks or turn off your lights without ever opening the actual app.
The Discovery:
Stop typing out your long email address or "On my way!" over and over.
The Solution:
The Result:

You don’t need to change five different settings every time you plug in your iPhone to charge. With a simple automation, your iPhone can switch into a low-power standby mode as soon as you connect the charger. It can turn off background activity and reduce power use to help your phone charge faster. When you unplug, everything goes back to normal automatically.
The Fix
Build a dual-automation loop inside your Shortcuts app to handle the heavy lifting:
The Result
The exact millisecond your phone links to a power source, it strips away hidden system clutter to draw power with peak efficiency. The moment you pull the cable, your full layout, wireless radios, and settings snap back instantly with zero manual effort.
The Discovery:
You can grab text even from a video that is currently playing.

Public Wi-Fi networks, like those in airports and cafés, can recognize your device through its Wi-Fi address. Your iPhone includes a privacy feature that helps reduce long-term tracking.
The Solution:
The Result:
Your iPhone periodically changes its Wi-Fi address, making it harder for networks to link your activity and track your device over time.
The Discovery
You don’t have to wait for your phone to critically drain or manually toggle settings just to preserve your battery life. Because separate events require isolated triggers, you can build a dual-automation loop inside your system framework that effortlessly drops your device into power-save mode at a custom threshold and strips it away the exact second you hit a safe charge level.
The Fix
Build two separate, rapid-fire background scripts inside your Shortcuts app:
The Result
Your phone runs entirely on auto-pilot. The exact millisecond your power drops past 30%, your background processing clamps down instantly, and it smoothly opens up your device performance the moment your charging brick lifts it past 80%.
The Discovery:
Starting in iOS 18, there is a faster way to turn off your phone without squeezing the physical side buttons.
The Solution:

The Discovery
You can finally remove the text names under your apps for a minimalist, "Pro" aesthetic that shows off your wallpaper without relying on third-party layout tricks or clunky shortcuts.
The Solution
Adjust your layout options directly from your interactive Home Screen editor:
The Result
The icons grow slightly larger to fill the grid gap, and the text labels disappear completely behind the scenes, giving your iPhone a sleek, uncluttered interface.
The Discovery:
You don't need a "What plant is this?" app. Your gallery already knows.
The Solution:
The Result:
Siri identifies the species and gives you care instructions or breed information instantly.
The Discovery:
There are dozens of hidden symbols (like the degree symbol ° or foreign currency) hidden under your standard keys.
The Solution:
The Result:
A pop-up menu appears with the hidden characters, so you never have to search through the symbol menu again.
