You asked for a one-time price instead of a subscription. So: lifetime is $19.99 instead of $39.99 for the next 48 hours. One payment, no subscription — it goes back to $39.99 on Sunday.

I posted this here a couple of weeks ago, and the most common pushback in the comments wasn't the app, it was the recurring pricing. Fair enough.

What it does: texts from unknown senders get scored and sorted into Junk before they reach your inbox. It runs inside iOS's Message Filter extension, which Apple gives no network access at all — so nothing about an incoming message can leave the phone even in principle. Contacts and existing conversations are never touched; iOS enforces that, not me.

Covers EN, TR, DE, FR, ES, PT, IT, ID

• Pattern lists update over the air — coverage improves without an app update
• No account, no ads

Test it before you buy — paste in a spam text you actually received and the app shows you exactly where it would have landed. If it doesn't catch yours, don't buy it.

Straight disclosure: incoming messages never leave your phone, and are never read by us.

Dev here, built Spam Text Blocker: SMS Filter, would love feedback.

Tired of scam texts, fake delivery links, and "你的包裹" spam clogging your Messages? Built Spam Text Blocker: SMS Filter so junk gets sorted out automatically — before you even see it.

🔒 100% on-device — no account, no ads, no data collection.

Answer — what it does

It plugs into Apple's native Message Filter system — spam from unknown senders gets silently moved to a Junk folder in Messages. No notifications, nothing to manage, no app to open every day.

Under the hood it uses iOS's `ILMessageFilterExtension` API: every incoming SMS/iMessage from an unknown sender is handed to the extension before it ever reaches your inbox, and the extension has to decide allow/junk/promotion entirely offline — Apple doesn't permit network calls in this extension, which is exactly why the filtering has to run on-device.

- Keyword and sender-based blocking rules, plus bundled starter block lists

- A trained on-device Core ML model catches spam patterns the rule lists miss — runs fully on-device, nothing is ever sent anywhere

- Filters only unknown senders — contacts and existing conversations are never touched (Apple enforces this at the OS level)

- No account required. No ads, ever. Nothing about your messages is ever collected or leaves your phone.

Better — why this over the alternatives

Some spam filter apps process your messages on a server before you see them. This one never leaves your phone — both the rule engine and the Core ML model run locally, always.

Setup takes under a minute: flip one toggle in Settings and you're protected, no account creation, no onboarding maze.

If your local spam language isn't covered by the current block lists yet, it's actively being worked on and coming soon.

Cost

$1.99/month, $9.99/year, or $39.99 lifetime — no ads, no data collection on any tier.

Hi r/iOSApps, I am the developer behind Felingo, a cat behavior analysis app. Quick disclaimer right from the start: this is not a “press a button and hear a funny translation” gimmick.

Answer (What problem does it solve?): It can be tough, especially for new cat owners, to figure out exactly what a cat needs. Cats communicate through a complex combination of vocalizations and body language—research shows that a meow means something completely different depending on ear position, tail posture, and context. Felingo helps bridge this communication gap by analyzing both audio and video simultaneously to interpret meows and read body language (ears, tail, posture).

Better (Why is it better?): The App Store is full of novelty apps that spit out random, made-up phrases. Felingo is built on actual pattern recognition, and I want that to be entirely transparent. Instead of treating the analysis like magic, the app provides an emotion, an urgency level, and a specific confidence score per result. It also includes per-cat profiles with history logs, allowing you to track your cat's behavioral patterns and mood trends over time.

Cost:

• Free plan: Limited daily analyses + 1 cat profile.
• Premium (Subscription): Unlimited analyses, multiple cat profiles, and full history tracking Weekly $3.99 - Monthly $8.99 - Annual: $24.99

Happy to answer any questions about the development process or the app itself!

Most storage cleaner apps lock you into weekly or monthly subscriptions. For the next 48 hours, Recycle is a one-time $2.99 lifetime purchase (normally $19.99).

What it cleans:
🧹 Duplicate photos
🧹 Similar photos & videos
🧹 Screenshots
🧹 Duplicate & incomplete contacts

Why people are switching:

• One-time lifetime purchase — no subscription, ever
• Apple Intelligence–powered similar photo & video detection
• 100% on-device — Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected
• No account required
• Swipe-based bulk delete — review hundreds of items in seconds
• Date-based cleanup filters

Recycle never auto-deletes. Every file can be reviewed before removal, so you keep full control over your photos, videos, and contacts.

If you're tired of paying subscriptions just to free up space, this might be the last cleaner app you'll need.

⏰ $2.99 lifetime pricing ends in 48 hours.

Hi everyone,

I’m the developer of Felingo, an iOS app built around AI-assisted cat sound and behavior analysis.

The app is not intended as a prank translator or random joke generator. It records your cat’s meows and, when using video, also looks at body-language cues like ears, tail, posture, and movement to provide a structured interpretation.

One feature I wanted to focus on is the history view. Each session can be saved with details like:

• Interpretation summary
• Estimated emotion
• Urgency score
• Confidence level
• Vocalization type
• Timestamp
• Cat-specific history

The idea is to help cat owners notice patterns over time instead of treating every meow as a one-off result.

Felingo is currently available at a lower introductory price for a short period

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/felingo-cat-translator/id6698877920

Most storage cleaner apps charge weekly or monthly subscriptions.

For the next 48 hours, Recycle Lifetime is just $1.99.

📱 Duplicate photos
📱 Similar photos
📱 Similar videos
📱 Screenshots
📱 Duplicate & incomplete contacts
📱 Swipe-based bulk delete
📱 Date-based cleanup filters

Why users are switching:

• Apple Intelligence-powered similar photo & video detection
• One-time lifetime purchase: $1.99
• No account required
• Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected
• 100% on-device cleanup after unlock
• Designed for reviewing before deleting, not blindly removing everything

Unlike many cleaner apps, Recycle doesn't automatically remove files. Everything can be reviewed before deletion, giving you full control over your photos, videos, and contacts.

The swipe-based cleanup experience has quickly become one of the most loved features, allowing users to review hundreds of items in seconds.

If you're tired of paying subscriptions just to free up storage space, this might be the last cleaner app you'll ever need.

A few months ago I launched Recycle, an Apple Intelligence-powered photo cleaner for iPhone.

One thing I kept hearing from users was how tired they were of photo cleaner apps charging subscriptions for a task they only need occasionally. That's why I chose a simple $1.99 one-time purchase instead.

Another thing users cared about was privacy and transparency.

✅ Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected
✅ Works 100% offline after purchase
✅ No cloud processing
✅ No account required
✅ No photos leave your device

🤖 Built using Apple's on-device AI technologies, including Vision and Core ML
🤖 Similarity analysis happens directly on your iPhone
🤖 No need to upload your photo library to external servers

The most surprising part was how much people appreciated this approach. Many users specifically mentioned the pricing model, privacy-first design, and transparency in their feedback.

Because of that support, I decided to keep investing in the app even though it's a one-time purchase.

Major Update Released

• New swipe-based bulk review & delete flow
• Improved similarity detection algorithm
• Faster gallery cleanup experience
• Better grouping of similar photos
• Continuous updates despite the one-time pricing model

The swipe feature was actually added because users kept asking for a faster way to review large photo libraries. Listening to feedback has shaped most of the app's roadmap so far.

My goal has always been simple:

No subscription. No account. No cloud. Just a $1.99 lifetime purchase and ongoing updates.

I know subscriptions make sense for some products, but for a photo cleaner I wanted something different: buy it once, own it forever, and continue receiving improvements.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/phone-storage-cleaner-recycle/id6763344525

I'd love to hear what you think about one-time purchases vs subscriptions for utility apps.

Most photo cleaner apps still charge absurd weekly subscriptions for something that should honestly be built into iOS.

So I built Recycle — a privacy-focused iPhone cleaner with a simple Lifetime unlock ($1.99) instead.

What surprised me most while building it was how good Apple Intelligence-style similarity detection became for photo grouping. Recycle is getting genuinely great results at catching:

near-duplicate photos
burst variations
slightly different angles
visually similar screenshots
similar videos
Everything runs fully on-device.

✅ No account
✅ No cloud uploads
✅ No tracking
✅ Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected
✅ Works offline after unlock

Wanted something that feels closer to how Apple would approach a cleaner app instead of another subscription trap.

I’d appreciate constructive feedback, especially around whether the history and behavior-tracking side feels useful for real cat owners. It’s meant as an AI-assisted insight tool, not veterinary advice or a replacement for professional care.

Hey everyone,

I’m the indie developer behind Felingo – Cat Translator, an iOS app that analyzes your cat’s real meows and behavior to give human-readable insights.

For a limited time, I’m making Lifetime Premium free.

Just to be clear: Felingo is not a prank app or fake soundboard. It does not play random cat sounds. Instead, it uses your cat’s actual audio/video recordings to help interpret real behavior patterns.

The app can show things like:

- Possible emotion
- Urgency level
- Confidence score
- Audio + video-based behavior insights
- Per-cat history and replayable past analyses

The app is still new, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback. If you try it and find it useful, an honest App Store rating or review would really help me improve the app and reach more cat owners.

I’m the indie developer of Phone Storage Cleaner: Recycle, an iOS app I built to help clean up photo, video, and contact clutter without pushing users into another expensive monthly subscription.

I know this subreddit is mostly focused on AI tools and free deals, so I want to be transparent: this is not a “free lifetime” giveaway. It’s a small iOS utility with a limited-time Lifetime unlock for about $2, and I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from people who care about practical apps, privacy, and on-device processing.

The problem I wanted to solve is pretty simple: iPhone storage fills up slowly with duplicates, similar shots, screenshots, old videos, and messy contacts. Most cleaner apps make that feel heavier than it needs to be.

Recycle helps you:

• Find duplicate and similar photos
• Detect similar videos
• Review screenshots quickly
• Find duplicate contacts
• Find incomplete contacts
• Review everything before deleting
• Analyze photos, videos, and contacts on device

The flow is intentionally simple: scan, review, and delete only what you choose.

Privacy was a big focus for me. Photo, video, and contact cleanup detection is done on device. After unlocking Lifetime, the app works 100% offline for cleanup — no cloud processing, no account, no data collection. The App Store shows Apple Privacy Label: Data Not Collected.

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/phone-storage-cleaner-recycle/id6763344525

I’d really appreciate feedback on three things:

1. Does the app positioning feel clear enough?
2. Does a low one-time Lifetime price feel better than a monthly cleaner subscription?
3. What would make you trust a storage cleaner app more?

Thanks for checking it out.
