Hi y’all — I’m a designer and traveler who believes good design can change things, even if only a little. That still feels worth making.

I kept wondering how to make something thoughtful that could reach people easily. We all already carry phones, so I started making small apps that anyone could just download and use. It began as a fun side project, but slowly became what I spend most of my spare time doing. I’ve learned a lot about coding, building, testing, and polishing along the way.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been building small, private apps around everyday human needs. No accounts, because I’m personally tired of apps asking for my phone number or making me sign up when there is no real reason to.

I kept coming back to the same thought: a lot of adult life does not need another productivity system, feed, or app trying to fix us. Sometimes we just need a quiet place to hold something, clear a little brain RAM, or keep everyday things in one simple stream.

I talked with friends, paid attention to my own habits, and started making a small family of apps around that. No accounts, social layer, or unnecessary clutter — just one simple, human purpose and a small ritual on your phone.

I currently have more apps on Google Play, and I’m slowly bringing them to the App Store too. The ones below are available on both platforms if any of this feels relatable to you.

PARKit
A place for a few short keyword clouds (w short hidden notes you can tap add) you want to hold for tomorrow, with a reminder when you choose.

CUEit
A freeform timer for real-life moments/rituals where timing matters. Make your own cues for routines, transitions, cooking, coffee, preparation, or anything else that needs a gentle structure.

DIARYit
A quiet single-stream diary for writing what happened, without turning your life into a performance or a system to maintain. (It is prob my favorite one)

KEEPit
A private place to send yourself small thoughts as they arrive: a simple self-text stream for the things you want to keep before they disappear.

HOLDit
A private vault for the important thoughts that shouldn't be buried in the notes app so you hold it tight. Make a card, write moment in your own words, and hold your thoughts carefully.

I’m still early in this and learning a lot as I go. I’ve been building these in my spare time for the past few months, so it’s become a hobby with a lot of lessons attached to it and Im grateful for what Ive came up with and just sharing it on reddit now.

Anyway, I’d genuinely love to hear which of these feels useful, unnecessary, or like it’s missing something.

I’ve been writing diaries on paper for years, and every time I looked at diary apps I couldn’t find one that really fit. They all felt too cluttered and missed the point, so I ended up making DIARYit for myself.

The core idea is a single-stream private diary. To me, life feels like one continuous line, so the app follows that shape: focus on today, let past days stay scrollable, and keep the future visible but not editable. The writing area for today is deliberately limited, because I think daily writing should feel like a small ritual, not a place for long paragraphs of unnecessary clutter.

That shape basically defines the whole app. You open it, see today’s field, write only what belongs to today, and move on. If you want to look back, you can scroll back or use the calendar to jump to past dates, and there’s also a 4-state label system for marking days by how they felt.

I know this is a specific and constrained kind of diary app, but that was the point. I didn’t want another general journal trying to do everything. I wanted something closer to the actual purpose of a diary: private, offline, and simple enough to keep using.

I would appreciate you guys feedbacks if you have chance to go through the app!

I make pour-over coffee most mornings. I know how to make it, but I still have to check the time for each next step.

Same with cooking pasta, a workout, or a short stretch. A normal timer tells me the time, but it does not hold the sequence for me.

That is why I made CUEit.

You save your routines, write the cue titles you need, and set when each one should appear. When you run it, the app shows you the next cue at the right moment, with an optional chime.

The point is not to make a routine feel more controlled. It is to stop worrying about the timing and stay focused on the act itself.

Everything is stored on your phone. No account or cloud.

I would appreciate honest feedback: would you use something like this, and what would you make a routine for?

After work my brain doesn’t really understand that I’m “done”. It keeps looping tomorrow’s stuff and future worries, even though I don’t need any of it tonight. 

I didn’t want another task manager or big planning system. I just needed a way to park those thoughts somewhere safe so I could hold nothing for the evening. 

So I built a small app called PARKit around one ritual: 

- I drop tomorrow’s keywords into tiny “clouds”, just a few words for each thing my brain is holding. 

- I clean them up fast: delete what’s already done, only keep what actually matters for tomorrow or later. 

- Then I run a short PARK ritual: the orb guides a breathing cycle, the clouds disappear for tonight, and I know they’ll return when I open it tomorrow. 

The feeling I was targeting is very simple: “I’ve parked tomorrow. I can actually switch off now.” 

I filmed a 25-second screen recording with a voiceover walking through that exact sequence. It’s not a tutorial, just the real way I use it after work. 

If this kind of end-of-day “parking” ritual sounds useful, I’d genuinely like to hear: 

- Do you already do something similar with notebooks, notes apps, or tab groups? 

- Would a tiny app ritual help, or does it feel like one more thing to manage? 

I’m happy to share the PARKit link if anyone wants to try it (it's only on android right now by the way):  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkit.app

But I’m more curious whether this idea matches how your brain works after work. Thanks for reading!

Every day I do the same kind of things where time actually matters.
Pour over coffee. Pasta cooking. A few other small rituals.

I was just using the basic timer/stopwatch on my phone, but it always felt off.
I’m watching the time, counting in my head, trying to remember “bloom now, pour now, drain now” instead of just focusing on the actual coffee or the food.

So I asked myself a simple question:
what if I could combine a countdown timer and a stopwatch, add my own cues, and let the screen shout at me at the right moments instead of me babysitting the clock?

That turned into CUEit.

It’s a hybrid timer + stopwatch where you set your own cue points.
When a cue hits, the whole screen flips to a full color state with big text, so you don’t need to stare at tiny numbers.
For example: at 40 seconds the screen blooms and says “Bloom”, then later it switches to “Second pour”, “Drain”, whatever you need.

The point is simple:
for any ritual or activity where time matters, CUEit handles the time side so you can actually stay with the activity.
I use it for daily pour over and for basic cooking, and it removes that mental burden of “is it time yet” without turning into a productivity gimmick.

It’s Android only right now, no login, no cloud, just local data and a minimal UI.

If this sounds interesting, I’d love honest feedback, especially from people who brew coffee or cook and care about timings more than fancy features.

ok so this might sound dumb but it actually works for me so I wanted to share

I get home from work and my brain is still doing this thing where it holds onto random stuff, work-related or not, for the rest of the day. go grocery shopping, do laundry, that zoom at 2pm tomorrow. none of it is urgent tonight but it still won’t let go because it matters for tomorrow.

so I made an app that’s basically one breathing orb with little keyword clouds orbiting it.

throughout the day I drop in tiny keyword clouds, 15 characters max, not a full task list, just anchors so tomorrow-me knows what today-me cared about.

then when I’m done for today, I hold the orb for a full inhale/exhale ritual and park everything. it’s like telling my brain “these are for tomorrow, not tonight” and letting the app hold them instead of me.

next morning I hold it again to open, the orb breathes, and yesterday’s parked clouds come back so I know what today actually needs. as the day goes on I can add new clouds or clear ones that don’t matter anymore.

that’s it. that’s the whole app. it’s called PARKit.

free version gives 3 keyword slots with fixed notifications (8am / 7pm). paid unlocks 12 slots and custom times/days for your own schedule.

only on android right now, iOS later if this gets real traction. I just recorded the demo on my iPhone build, hope no confusion.

genuinely don’t know if this is a real idea or just me being weird and somehow making it work, so someone please set me straight

oh and check out @ verbitapp on socials. theres more apps
