[iOS & Android] [Lifetime Premium -> FREE] Acti: The Agentic Keyboard That Gets Things Done

Hey r/GenAiApps,

I'm part of the small team building Acti, an AI-powered agentic keyboard that helps you do things instead of just typing.

Most AI keyboards help you write. We wanted to build one that could actually take action while you're typing.

With Acti, you can use AI anywhere you can type, connect apps like Notion, Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, and Google Meet, and create Skills that automate repetitive tasks—all without constantly switching between apps.

Some things you can do with Acti:

  • Ask AI from any app without copying and pasting
  • Save notes directly to Notion
  • Draft and send emails with Gmail
  • Schedule meetings with Google Calendar and Google Meet
  • Send messages to Slack
  • Build custom Skills for your own workflows

We're still early, but over the past couple of weeks we've already shipped community-requested features like swipe typing, multilingual typing, real-time voice input, number row, spacebar cursor control, and a bunch of performance improvements.

Free Lifetime Premium Giveaway

To celebrate the launch, we're giving away Lifetime Premium to members of this community.

Just upvote this post and dm me "Code" or Join our discord server: https://discord.gg/fp5txxznQ8 , and I'll send you an invitation code while supplies last.

Download:

If you try Acti, we'd really appreciate your honest feedback. Tell us what feels great, what's frustrating, and what integrations or features you'd like to see next. We're actively building, and a lot of our recent updates came directly from user feedback.

I'll be around to answer any questions about the app, how Skills work, the idea behind an agentic keyboard, or anything else.

Thanks for checking out Acti!

[iOS] [$34.99/year → Free] [48h] Levelday — Simple nutrition tracking

I lost 10lbs while using the nutrition app I built, so I’m giving away 10 one-year iOS subscriptions :)

Hi, I'm Eli, designer and developer of Levelday, and I recently crossed 10lbs lost while using it to keep track of my own days.

Levelday helped me stay aware of my calories, protein, water, weight, and routines without making tracking feel overbearing. I even went on a couple of vacations and overate, but got back on the wagon.

That matters because I’ve downloaded plenty of nutrition apps, tracked for a few days, and stopped when logging became more demanding than the habits I was trying to improve. Missing one snack or meal could make the whole day feel ruined.

So I built Levelday to answer where does today stand?

What it offers:

✅ Calories, protein, water, weight, and custom goals
✅ Saved foods, routines, and shortcuts for repeat meals
✅ Barcode, nutrition-label, and meal-photo scanning
✅ Weekly and monthly reports for spotting patterns

To celebrate, I’m giving away 10 free one-year Levelday Plus subscriptions for iOS.

To enter, comment with one or two sentences about what you’d like to track or what has frustrated you about other nutrition apps. I’ll message 10 people who seem genuinely interested in trying Levelday and sharing honest feedback.

If you don’t receive a link, you can still use the core app for free. Log with Levelday for seven days, then you’ll be offered a two-week Plus trial with all premium features. Afterward, you can choose weekly, monthly, or yearly renewal.

This is a tool that helped me stay aware and consistent, and I’d love to hear whether it can do the same for you.

[iOS] [$49.99 → FREE Lifetime] SnapLapse – Track Progress Through Photos

Hi everyone,

So many things in life change little by little, and it’s easy to miss the progress when you see them every day. I built SnapLapse as a simple way to capture those small changes through photos and look back at how far things have come.

Whether it’s a pet growing up, a plant thriving, a renovation taking shape, a fitness journey, or a creative project, SnapLapse helps turn those individual photos into a visual journey.

SnapLapse Pro Lifetime is free until August 23 (normally $49.99 USD).

SnapLapse lets you:

• Create private photo journeys for fitness, recovery, pets, plants, renovations, handcrafts, creative projects, or anything else that changes over time

• Compare any two photos with an interactive before/after slider

• Use your previous photo as a ghost layer to line up your next shot and keep progress photos consistent

• Turn your journey into timeline collages, MP4 slideshows, and animated GIFs

• Add dates, notes, and milestones

• Keep your photo journeys stored locally on your device, with optional iCloud backup

How to claim it:

  1. Download SnapLapse from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6791902298?pt=128607157&ct=raga&mt=8
  2. After onboarding, you’ll see the paywall.
  3. Select Lifetime. It should show $0.00 during the promotion.

Small asks:

  1. Please upvote this post to help more people find the giveaway.
  2. If you enjoy the app, an honest rating or review on the App Store would be hugely appreciated.

I’d also love to hear what you’re tracking with SnapLapse, or anything that feels confusing, missing, or could be better.

Hope you enjoy it!

Feature: AI coach that runs 100% on your iPhone. Giving away 1 year of Pro

I’ve been working on a new feature for Stepzy called AI Coach, and it’s finally ready.

The idea is simple: instead of just showing you numbers after a workout, Stepzy actually helps you understand them.

AI Coach can:

  • Give you personalized feedback after every workout
  • Explain what stood out in your pace, heart rate, zones, duration, and recent performance
  • Suggest what to focus on next time
  • Coach you based on your entire day
  • Let you chat directly with your workout data and ask follow-up questions

The part I’m most excited about is privacy.

AI Coach runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence.

No workout data is uploaded.
No AI API calls.
No account required for the AI.
It even works without internet / in airplane mode.

Your health data stays on your device.

I also redesigned Stepzy’s main experience to make much better use of the full screen, so there’s now a lot more useful information without making the app feel like a spreadsheet.

🎁 1 Year of Stepzy Pro

>To celebrate the launch, I’m giving away 1 year of Stepzy Pro for free.

>If you’d like to try it, comment below, I will share code in DM!

I’d genuinely love feedback, especially criticism. Stepzy is still evolving and a lot of the best improvements have come from people pointing out things I completely overlooked.

AI Coach requires iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone.

Thanks for checking it out ❤️

Thank you for 1k8 active users and 4.8 rating App Store for my subscription reminder app, here is discount code

Hey everyone,

I'm developer who built Submindo, a subscription tracker and manager I originally built because I kept losing money to forgotten renewals and free trials. I've posted here before, and feedback from this community has been a huge part of how the app keeps improving.

Submindo has now over 1,800 active subscriptions tracked. All of it has been organic and word of mouth — I haven't spent a single dollar on ads.

A large portion of early users came directly from Reddit — people testing the app, reporting bugs, suggesting features, and recommending it to others. As a thank-you to the community, I'm offering Submindo Unlimited Lifetime for just $3.99 (normally $11.99, over 60% off) for iOS. It works for everyone, is valid for 3 days, and requires no DMs or comments to claim.


What Makes Submindo Different

Most expense and reminder apps treat recurring costs as basic, flat calendar events. Real subscription management involves trial deadlines, billing cycles across different currencies, overlapping tools, and finding out if you are overpaying.

Submindo is built specifically around recurring expenses and portfolio efficiency:

  • Smart Pre-Bill Alerts: Push notifications arrive days before a charge hits so you have ample time to cancel.
  • AI Spending Analysis: Scans your active subscriptions to flag redundant plans, evaluate utility, and output a clear Worth It / Borderline / Not Worth It verdict.
  • AI Alternatives Finder: Detects overpaid tools and suggests lower-cost alternatives with side-by-side savings breakdowns.
  • Visual Expense Calendar & Overview: Track costs across daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals.

What's new in recent updates based on community feedback:

  • Home Screen Widgets: Monitor upcoming renewal dates directly from your phone's home screen.
  • True Dark Mode (AMOLED/OLED): Pure pitch-black interface to save battery life and reduce eye strain at night.
  • Trial Period Tracking: Dedicated counters for free trials to ensure cancellation happens before automatic charges occur.
  • 13 Spending Categories & Full History: Complete payment timeline logging for long-term budget records.

Plans & Pricing

Submindo Free:

  • Track core subscriptions with custom billing cycles
  • Standard bill reminders before renewal dates
  • Expense summary views
  • Dark Mode and AMOLED support

Submindo Unlimited:

  • Unlimited subscription tracking & categories
  • Full AI Spending Analysis and redundancy detection
  • AI Alternatives Finder with cost savings reports
  • Interactive Home Screen Widgets
  • Complete billing history and calendar breakdowns

Regular Pricing:

  • Yearly: $9.99 / year
  • Lifetime: $11.99 (One-time purchase)

The Thank-You Offer — Submindo Unlimited Lifetime for $3.99 (iOS)

How to claim:

  1. Tap the direct redeem link above on your iPhone/iPad (or enter code THANKYOUREDDIT via App Store redeem).
  2. Confirm the redemption to unlock Submindo Lifetime Unlimited for $3.99.

Download Links:

If you track subscriptions or recurring bills, I would love to hear what features you'd like added next or what needs improvement. Every update listed above came directly from user feedback in the comments!

Dutch - my tiny Splitwise alternative (open source, 1.5MB, no account, pure swift, free lifetime)

Last summer I was on holiday with my girlfriend and we kept losing track of who paid for dinners, the flat and the groceries. I went looking for an app: easy to use, easy for other people to join, working straight away without an account, small, and ideally open source. Nothing ticked all the boxes, so I wrote it myself.

What it doesn't have: third-party dependencies, ads, tracking, analytics, subscriptions, accounts, or any server connection other than Apple's own iCloud.

What it does have:

  • It's tiny. Everything below fits in about 1.5 MB. It downloads in a couple of seconds.
  • Join by scanning a QR code. Create a group, hold up the code, everyone at the table scans it. There's a normal invite link too.
  • Uneven splits. Train tickets for six where one has a student discount, or a flat booked by two couples and two singles - you can set each person's share.
  • Live for everyone. Syncs through iCloud to everyone who joined, with optional local notifications. If someone doesn't want the app, you can still add them as a participant and send them the summary as text.
  • Spotlight, Shortcuts, quick actions. Make a shortcut that adds an expense to a specific group and put it on the Action button - a new entry takes two or three seconds. You can also find a group from Spotlight, ask Siri to add an entry, or long-press the icon.
  • Multiple currencies. Paid in another country? Enter the amount and the rate you actually got. It converts once, at entry, so balances never drift afterwards.
  • Native. Pure Swift and Apple frameworks only, using system components throughout (Liquid Glass on iOS 26).
  • Open source, MPL 2.0. Read it, or build it yourself.

Pricing. Joining groups is free and unlimited, with every feature available inside them. You can also run one group of your own for free - delete it and start another as often as you like. Managing more than one group at a time is a one-time $4.99 unlock, with Family Sharing. The whole thing, limit included, is in the repo, so if you'd rather build it yourself than pay, that's a supported outcome.

Free lifetime unlock: the promo link above works until 2026-08-23, first 1 000 redemptions.

Requirements: iPhone, iOS 17 or later. Everyone in a group needs an iPhone and an iCloud account - that's the trade-off for having no server of my own. Non-users can be added as participants and get the summary as text, but they can't add expenses.

Privacy. I have no server. Your data lives in your private iCloud database; shared groups use Apple's own CloudKit sharing. All I can see is the standard Apple sales reporting every developer gets.

Deleting your data. Delete a group and it's gone from your device and your iCloud. Delete the app and the local copy goes with it. To clear what's left in iCloud: Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage. There's no request to file and nobody to ask, because I'm not holding anything.

Permissions. Camera if you scan a group QR code, notifications if you turn them on. iCloud stores the group data and Spotlight indexes group names.

On AI: I used Claude Code as a tool while building the app and the website. The architecture, the sync model and the work to get it under 2 MB are mine; I've read and understood every line that ships.

Links: AppStore | AppStore Promo Code (Free lifetime) | Website | Privacy | Source code

EDIT 2026-08-19: From what is seems first 1k of codes was used already which is crazy. It is blowing my mind that it happened in one day. Thank you all for checking the app out! Let's it roll, if anyone missed it here is another 1k of redeems, valid until 2026-08-23: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6795190862&code=AFTERPARTY

[iOS] [$24.99 → FREE] VibeType – Your AI Keyboard

Hey everyone! 👋

I kept rewriting messages before sending them because the tone never felt quite right—too formal, too awkward, or just not clear enough. Switching between apps to use an AI writing tool made the whole process even more frustrating, so I built VibeType.

VibeType is an AI-powered iPhone keyboard that lets you rewrite and improve your messages directly inside the app you’re already using. Type your message, choose the vibe you want, and get a cleaner version without copying and pasting between apps.

• Polish and rewrite messages directly from your keyboard
• Choose tones like Polished, Friendly, Professional, and Emojify
• Works wherever you can use a custom iPhone keyboard
• Helps your messages sound clearer, more natural, and more confident
• On-device AI rewriting for greater privacy
• Light and dark keyboard styles that match your iPhone
• Fast, simple, and designed to stay out of your way
• Currently optimized for English

To celebrate the launch, I’m giving FREE Lifetime Pro access—normally $24.99—to the first 25 users 🎉

How to join

Download the app, upvote this post, and leave a comment.

I’m an indie solo developer trying to build useful tools that make everyday communication easier without forcing people to jump between multiple apps.

Any feedback would genuinely mean a lot. And if you enjoy using VibeType, leaving a rating or review on the App Store would be incredibly helpful ❤️

[Promo] Refrain — Doomscroll blocker, $15 lifetime

TL;DR

━━━━━

WHAT: Refrain is an Android app that pauses you before opening distracting apps (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc.) AND again mid-session, before the scroll spiral takes over.

HOW IT HELPS: Most tools only pause you at app open. Refrain intervenes again during the session when your daily limit or timer hits, so you don't blow through your own limits silently. 100% on-device — no accounts, no tracking.

PROMO: Launch week — Lifetime tier is $15 (normally $30, 50% off, ends Aug 19). Free tier controls 1 app forever.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pause.mobile

━━━━━

Just launched after 6 months of nights/weekends. Built it to solve my own Reels/Shorts loop after every existing tool failed me.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Pick the apps that pull you in (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Reels — whatever yours are)
  • Set a daily limit per app — you decide
  • When you open one, Refrain pauses you with a breath and asks: short timed session, or close the app?
  • Mid-session re-intervention: when your timer or daily limit hits, it steps in again. No silent overruns.
  • Brief switches to another app don't reset your session — check a text, come back, no re-pause

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

  • The mid-session re-intervention is the piece I couldn't find in other tools that worked the way I wanted. The pause-at-open moment matters, but the doomscroll actually happens 5 minutes in, once the algorithm hooks you. Refrain steps in there too.
  • The grace window is small but changed everything for me. If you pop out of Instagram to check a text and come back within 60s, no re-pause. Sounds trivial; it's the difference between "usable" and "uninstalled in a week."
  • It asks you to decide, doesn't hard-block. If you need Instagram for work/family, hard-blocking breaks that. Refrain caged mine without cutting me off from it.

PRIVACY

  • Nothing leaves your device. No accounts, no servers, no analytics SDKs, no ads.
  • Refrain only knows WHICH app you opened — not what you see, type, or scroll. It can't read messages, screen content, or credentials.
  • Uninstall wipes everything.

PRICING

  • Free: controls 1 app (real free tier, not a trial)
  • Monthly: $2.99
  • Yearly: $12.99 with 30-day free trial
  • Lifetime: one-time, no subscription
    • Launch week: $15 (normally $29.99, 50% off, ends Aug 19)

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pause.mobile

Happy to answer questions. Also open to bug reports and DMs. Genuinely looking for feedback from people who'll use it.
