I built a calendar you can actually customize

Hey r/apps!

I thought you may like this app I built: a customizable digital planner for iPhone and iPad. Every day is its own paper-like page that you can draw on, decorate, and arrange however you like. I'm the developer.

You can choose the paper, ruling, and color, move the date and weather around, draw with your finger or Apple Pencil, add text, and turn photos into stickers or Washi tape.

It also integrates with Apple Calendar and Reminders, so the schedule you already use appears directly on those pages. You can keep using Apple's apps normally instead of maintaining a separate calendar inside the planner.

The part I cared about most was making it look and feel like paper. The days sit in a small stack, the top page tears away when you move forward, and the paper reacts subtly when you tilt the device.

This became a slightly unreasonable amount of work for a calendar.

Everything above is free. There is no Hibi account and no tracking. Hibi Plus is an optional $6.99 one-time purchase that adds alternate app icons, a personal Hanko stamp, and interactive reminder widgets.

I built a calendar you can actually customize

Hi r/iosapps!

About four months ago, I shared the first version of Hibi here. Many of you liked the app for its design and gave me great feedback, which I already implemented. I kept building, and version 3 now feels like a completely new app since you can now customize your calendar!

What it does (Answer): Hibi turns your existing Apple calendars and reminders into paper-like daily pages you can customize.

Why it’s different (Better): You can draw and write, customize the paper, arrange each page, create stickers and washi tape from your photos, and use Apple Pencil on iPad - so you remember your days.

Cost: The app is free to download, with no subscription. There’s an optional $6.99 lifetime in app purchase to unlock premium app icons and home screen widgets.

I’m the developer, and I’d love to hear what you think of how far it has come!

[macOS][$2.99 → Free for 48h] Golden Ratio Overlay: Golden spiral, phi grid & rule-of-thirds overlays on top of any app

Dev here!

I like composing crops against the golden spiral, but every app draws its own subset of guides. My photo editor gives me a couple of grids, my design tool has different ones, my browser has none; and almost none of them let me rotate or flip the spiral to match the shot. I kept eyeballing it and getting it wrong.

So I built Golden Ratio Overlay: a tiny menu bar app that floats the guide over whatever you're working in: photo editor, design tool, video app, browser.

Features:

  • 6 guides: golden spiral, phi grid, rule of thirds, golden diagonals, harmonic armature, center cross
  • Rotate, flip, and reposition with global (remappable) keyboard shortcuts
  • Click-through lock so the overlay never steals your clicks
  • Menu bar only, no Dock icon
  • 6 line colors with contrast understrokes for busy backgrounds
  • No data collection, source code on GitHub (https://github.com/AlexW00/Golden-Ratio)

I launched it this week at $2.99, and it's free until July 19 as a 48-hour launch promo. Requires macOS 26+. Happy to answer any questions!

Golden Ratio Overlay - float a golden spiral / phi grid / rule of thirds over any app. Free for 48h ($2.99 → $0) for launch

Hey r/macapps!

I like composing photo crops against the golden spiral. The problem: every app has its own opinion about composition guides. My photo editor ships a couple of grids, my design tool has different ones, my browser has none at all; and almost nowhere can you rotate or flip the spiral so it actually matches the shot. I spent months squinting at my screen, mentally projecting a spiral onto images and getting it wrong.

At some point I gave up waiting for every app to add the guides I wanted and built the overlay myself. It's called Golden Ratio Overlay: a tiny menu bar app that floats composition guides over anything on your screen, then gets out of the way.

The details:

  • guides: golden spiral, phi grid, rule of thirds, golden diagonals, harmonic armature, center cross
  • Global keyboard shortcuts for everything
  • rotate, flip, show/hide
  • all remappable
  • Click-through lock: the overlay never blocks your mouse
  • Menu bar only, no Dock icon
  • line colors with contrast understrokes so lines stay visible on busy images

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/golden-ratio-overlay/id6790142825

I published it this week at $2.99 (one-time, no subscription), and to celebrate the launch it's free for 48 hours: through July 19. It needs macOS 26 or later. This is v1.1 and I'm actively working on it, so feedback and feature requests here directly shape what I build next.
