Hey r/AppleWatchApps!

I built Mantra Chanting: Japa Mala100% Standalone Apple Watch App with a feature-packed iOS companion app.

It's built so you can leave your iPhone at home and count rounds while walking, commuting, or doing daily sadhana.

🔥 Watch & iOS Features:

⌚ Standalone Apple Watch App: Count 100% offline right on your wrist while walking or traveling. Leave your iPhone behind—it auto-syncs your rounds and streaks when reconnected.

🤖 Hands-Free Auto-Counter & Clap Detection: Uses live audio peak analysis to auto-count your voice or hand claps during kirtan & chanting completely hands-free.

📿 Tactile Bead Haptic Engine: Mimics physical wooden prayer beads under your thumb with custom Digital Crown haptics and distinct double-vibrations at 108 milestone counts for eyes-closed counting.

🌸 Best-in-Class Breathing Animations: Fluid "Liquid Zen" sacred geometry (glowing Sri Yantra & Sunflower mandalas) that expand and contract in sync with your breath.

🚫 100% Free & ZERO Ads: Clean, peaceful experience with zero ads.

📲 App Store Link (Free Download): https://apps.apple.com/in/app/mantra-chanting-japa-mala/id6791468380

Please check it out, leave a rating & review on the App Store, and share your feedback! I’d love to hear how the watchOS haptics and auto-counter feel on your wrist.

I’ve built iOS apps for 100M+ users. Backend system design guides don't work for mobile so I built 15 open-source specs to crack Staff & EM interviews.

Hey everyone,

Having spent 13+ years building and scaling iOS applications to 100 Million+ daily active users across streaming, short-form video, payments, and e-commerce, I noticed a huge gap:

99% of system design content online is written for backend engineers.

When you're scaling iOS apps for 100M+ users or interviewing for Staff/EM roles at top tech companies, backend guides won't help you when asked:

  • "How do you design a smooth 60fps TikTok feed at 100M scale without OOM crashes?"
  • "What is your exact client state machine when a network request drops mid-payment?"
  • "How do you build an offline sync engine with conflict resolution in Swift?"

I spent 100+ hours taking my real-world 100M+ user experience and building a complete Mobile System Design Playbook on GitHub:

👉 Repositoryhttps://github.com/therahulgoel/ios-system-design

What's inside:

  • 📑 15 Production Specs: TikTok Video Feed, WhatsApp Chat, Uber Ride Tracking, Server-Driven UI, Stripe Payment Flow, 3-tier Image Loader, Offline Sync Engine, and more.
  • 📊 Real 100M+ Scale Benchmarks: OS memory limits, decoded bitmap formulas (W × H × 4 bytes), cold start targets (<1.2s), and WebSocket heartbeats (30s).
  • 🛠 Swift 5.9+ Code & SQLite Schemas: MVVM, async/awaitactor, and real DB tables.
  • 📐 Mermaid Diagrams: Visual HLD diagrams for every architecture.
  • 💡 Mock Q&As & Master Cheatsheet: FAANG-level questions, common interview traps, and a 1-page cram guide.

⭐ If you find this repo useful or if it helps your interview prep, please leave a ⭐ star on GitHub! It takes 2 seconds and helps other iOS engineers discover it.

[GiveAway Life Time Free]I built an on-device AI feature that listens to kids read & corrects them in real-time.

I just launched a massive update for my app, Go Phonics (ages 3-8).

We built an offline AI Speech Recognition engine that actively listens to kids read words out loud. If they pronounce it right? Immediate cheers and in-game coins. 🪙 If they struggle? Gentle real-time correction.

It runs 100% on-device, meaning zero latency, zero server costs, and total privacy for the kids.

🎁 Launch Giveaway! I want to get this in the hands of parents here. Drop a comment below and I'll DM you a promo code for a FREE Lifetime Pro subscription!

Would love any feedback from fellow devs on the UX or on-device audio tech!

[Giveaway] [Life Time Free] [24 Hour Only] I was tired of break timers charging subscriptions and eating 500MB RAM, so I built a native SwiftUI one that runs on 15MB. Now used by 1,000+ Mac users.

Hey r/MacOS ,

I spend 10+ hours a day at my Mac and started getting bad eye strain. I wanted a simple break timer, but everything I found was either a bloated Electron app or required a monthly subscription.

So, I built Step Away - Digital Wellness using native SwiftUI. It is now trusted by over 1,000 Mac users, lives in your menu bar, runs on 15MB of RAM, and consumes 0% CPU when idle.

How it works:

  • Meeting Aware: Automatically postpones breaks if you are in a Zoom, Teams, Slack, or FaceTime call so your screen is never blocked.
  • Smart Idle Resets: Detects when you walk away from your desk so you aren't immediately interrupted when you sit back down.
  • Guided Stretches: Displays micro-guided exercises for eye care (to prevent dryness) and quick physical stretches during breaks.
  • Privacy First: 100% offline. No analytics, tracking, or accounts.
  • No subscriptions.[Free for 24 Hr to download]

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/step-away-digital-wellness/id6754695723?mt=12

🎉 Giveaway Alert! 🎉

To celebrate, I'll be doing a Lifetime Free giveaway 24 Hr only.
