Do you spend more time deciding rather than eating?

Me too 😅

Me and my boyfriend created this app called What2Munch and the name says pretty much everything. It gives you recommendations for food places near you and you can order them on Wolt.

We plan to add other options in the future depending on the feedback we receive.

We would very much appreciate feedback, criticism included.

ps. I hope i’m not breaking any rules since this was developed yesterday and is not promoting, advertising or anything similar from your clicks 🤞

Thank you community! 🍔

What’s an app idea that feels impossible to build?

What’s the craziest or most futuristic app idea you’ve ever thought of - something so ambitious that it feels like nobody could actually build it? Curious to hear wild concepts people have imagined.

reddit.com

Your Brain Was Never Designed to Handle This Much Information

I genuinely think we’re entering a new era of “memory tech”.

Not AI assistants that just answer questions.
Not note apps that become digital graveyards after a week.

I mean systems that actually help you think.

That’s exactly why I built Kognis.

Most people today are mentally overloaded:

  • too many tasks
  • too many ideas
  • too many conversations
  • too much context switching

Important thoughts disappear constantly because our brains weren’t designed to hold infinite context.

Kognis was built to solve that.

You capture thoughts naturally — tasks, reminders, follow ups, ideas, conversations — and the system starts connecting everything together automatically.

It can:

  • surface forgotten thoughts
  • highlight priorities
  • connect related information
  • help organise mental clutter
  • bring back context when you need it most

The goal isn’t productivity for productivity’s sake.

It’s reducing cognitive load so your brain can focus on actually thinking.

We’re getting very close to release now and honestly… seeing it evolve from an idea into a fully working platform has been surreal.

Feels like the beginning of something much bigger.

I just launched my app called MemoryMap and I’d love to get some honest feedback.

✨ What you can do:

Save photos directly to places you’ve visited

Automatically organize memories by city & country

Keep everything private and secure

Use the in-app camera to capture moments instantly

I built this because i wanted a better way to remember where my best moments happened, not just scroll through random photos.

📲 Try it here:

I built an Android app called Recurlo that lets you create reminders based on real-world context instead of just time.

Most reminder apps can tell you when something should happen.

Recurlo can tell you when AND where AND under what conditions it should happen.

You can create reminders using 6 trigger types:

📍 Location (arrive, leave, stay in an area)

• 🎧 Bluetooth (connect/disconnect from headphones, etc.)

• 📶 Wi-Fi (home, office, or any network)

• 🔋 Battery status

• 🚶 Activity (walking, running, driving etc )

• ⏰ Traditional time-based reminders

And you can combine them using AND / OR conditions.

Examples:

• (At supermarket) → Buy milk

• (At gym AND Bluetooth headphones connected) → Start workout

• (Connected to home Wi-Fi AND Evening) → Take out the trash

• (Leaving office AND Driving) → Play podcast

• (Battery below 20% AND At home) → Charge phone

• (Near destination OR Connected to train Wi-Fi) → Wake me up

You can build simple reminders or surprisingly complex automations without creating scripts or using Tasker.

Everything stays on your device, no account required.

It's now live on Google Play and I'd love feedback from Android users on what trigger combinations you'd find useful.

I’m 32 and tracked my fiber for a week mostly out of curiosity.

I was getting like 12g a day.

The recommendation is 25–35g, which honestly explained a lot. I always had mid-afternoon crashes, bloating, and just random stomach stuff I never really thought about.

The tracking apps I tried didn’t really help either. MyFitnessPal tracks fiber, but it’s buried behind calories and macros. Cronometer felt way too detailed for what I wanted.

I basically just wanted an app that told me one thing:

Did I hit my fiber today or not?

So I built one.

It has a daily ring for your fiber goal, barcode scanner, 200+ USDA foods, and a plant diversity score. That last part was kind of surprising to me. A lot of gut health research points to variety per week, not just total grams.

A few honest surprises after using it for ~6 months:

  • Getting to 30g isn’t that hard once you realize where fiber actually comes from. Beans, oats, raspberries, chia, avocado, etc.
  • Plant diversity was harder for me than the actual fiber goal.
  • A lot of packaged “high fiber” foods are not as useful as they make themselves sound.

Free, iOS only, on device, no account.

Would genuinely love feedback on the food database or anything that feels off.

A 90-day app that rewires behavioral patterns instead of tracking habits; defeated weaknesses become collectible creatures

The problem: Every habit app asks "what do you want to do?" (wake up early, exercise, read). But the real issue is never the habit — it's the invisible behavioral pattern underneath that keeps overriding your intentions. "I overthink instead of doing." "I start but don't finish." "I avoid discomfort." No streak counter fixes these.

The idea: Re-wired

A 90-day cycle where you pick 1-3 behavioral patterns to fight. Not habits to build — patterns to break.

How it works:

  • Onboarding: Pick from a list of behavioral patterns (procrastination, overthinking, avoidance, isolation, etc.). Answer calibration questions about triggers and frequency.
  • Every morning: AI generates 3 daily micro-tasks (~15 min each) that directly challenge your specific pattern. Not generic productivity advice — targeted interventions.
  • Every evening: 30-second check-in. Three taps (did you do the tasks? energy level? did the pattern show up?) + optional voice reflection.
  • Misalignment detection: AI analyzes your reflections. If it detects the old pattern showed up, you get a "side-quest" the next morning — a targeted micro-challenge to fight back immediately.
  • Shadow Army: Each defeated side-quest spawns a collectible shadow creature tied to that weakness. Repeat defeats level it up. 3-day relapse = it weakens and dims. Your army is living proof of every battle you've won.
  • Day 90: Full cycle report. Resistance scores, army roster, transformation narrative. Done.

Retention mechanics:

  • Shadow creatures are alive — they grow when you fight, weaken when you don't (loss aversion)
  • Small accountability circles (max 5 friends, they see your streak/army but NOT your reflections)
  • AI gets eerily accurate by week 4 because it has 30 days of your honest voice notes

Monetization:

  • First 90-day cycle: completely free, full access
  • After day 90: shadow army freezes as a read-only trophy
  • Pay ($4.99/mo or $29.99/yr) to start new cycles and keep your army growing
  • No paywall during the experience — only after you've gotten the full value

What I want to know:

  1. Does this solve a real problem you've felt, or is it a solution looking for a problem?

No code written yet — full design spec and mockups only. Looking for signal.

App for tracking all of my hobbies?

Hi everyone,

Sorry, long text:

I’m on the hunt for the perfect app for me, but somehow it doesn’t seem to exist… or does it?

I’m someone with loads of hobbies and interests.
These include video games, books, crochet, diamond painting, jigsaw puzzles, building blocks, book nook crafts and so on and so forth...

Unfortunately, I’m also the type of person who ‘out of sight, out of mind’, and sometimes I can’t even remember what I already own. Or if I start a jigsaw puzzle, don’t get round to it for a while and it ends up under the bed, I forget that there’s a half-finished jigsaw gathering dust there.

For my video games I use the ‘How Long To Beat’ app and for my books the ‘Book Tracker’ and ‘READO’, but for everything else I’ve got nothing.

The app that comes closest to what I want is ‘My Hobby Things’, but a) it’s buggy, b) it’s not aesthetically pleasing and the design is so boring, and c) the app has been abandoned. There hasn’t been an update for years.

I’d like a simple, attractive app with pleasant colours, where I have a ‘Building Blocks’ category and can add a photo of all my sets. And I’d like to be able to view them clearly and attractively, just like in my games and books apps. I’d like to be able to set a status to indicate whether I’ve started the project or not. And perhaps a wish list for projects I don’t yet own.

Sometimes I can’t decide what to do, and on READO there’s a dice that chooses for me A random book. I’d love to see that in the app too. Ideally with the option to choose whether to pick randomly from all categories or just from, say, the crochet projects.

I realise I could probably achieve something similar with Notion, but I’ve tried it and it completely overwhelmed me, so I’d much prefer a normal app.

I’ve been looking for ages, but I just can’t find anything suitable. Does anyone have any ideas?

UPDATE:
Thank you all for you answers so far. Didn’t expect so much feedback. I do my best to answer everybody and check every idea :)

And sorry for my bad English. I hope, you still understand my reply’s. For the long text I used DeepL, but that would take to much time for every answer, so I do my best with my own English.

What if hiring felt like TikTok instead of LinkedIn?

I’m a student developer, and I got tired of seeing students/freshers reduced to 1-page resumes recruiters skim in seconds.

We spend months building projects, learning stacks, grinding LeetCode, doing internships… yet real skills often stay invisible behind resume formatting.

So I built ScrollnHire, a platform where students can showcase themselves more like builders than PDFs.

It's more like a reverse hiring platform dependent on the discovery but still providing functionalities of a normal hiring platform.

  • projects first
  • scrollable profiles and student
  • actual work visibility
  • less keyword stuffing
  • more proof of work

Some things I’m working on next:

  • scrollable live project feeds
  • smarter job discovery
  • easier student ↔ recruiter matching

Would genuinely love honest feedback (even if you want to roast it 😭)

  • Does this solve a real problem for you?
  • What would make you actually use this?
  • What would recruiters care about most?

Will you use AI for cold calling?

Please help me with feedback.

Let's say you are a freelancer or startup founder and you have leads of clients, will you use AI for cold calling.

The features of this AI agent will be:

  1. Very good at sales pitch, can convert clients

  2. Sounds like human and not AI

  3. Learns from previous failure and implements the learning on next call.

  4. Will provide analytics of each call

It also saves a lot of your time.

I am thinking to make an application of this kind. If I get good response I will develop this.

Built a study app, would you use this?

so here is the basics of this app:

You create classes, add note photos and lecture audio, and the app turns that material into:

- summaries

- flashcards

- searchable notes

- AI study chat based on your class material

It is mainly meant for students who want their notes, recordings, and review tools together

instead of spread across different apps.

Would you use this?

If not, what would stop you?

I thought I wasn’t spending much… until I tracked everything

One day I checked my bank balance and genuinely had no idea where the money went 💀

Food?
Random online payments?
“Small” expenses?
No clue.

That’s when I realized most of us don’t actually track money consistently because manual expense tracking is annoying.

So I built Aarthik.

It automatically reads transaction SMS messages and manages expenses for you.

And honestly… seeing your real spending habits is scary

You think:
“I don’t spend that much.”

Then the app shows:

  • food delivery attacks
  • useless impulse buys
  • subscriptions you forgot existed
  • those “just 200 rupees” purchases adding up

The painful part?
Most people won’t realize this until they’re already broke at the end of the month.

The smart ones start tracking early.

App for spoilerfree chatting about tv shows?

I’m looking for an app for watching TV series together without spoilers.

There’s an app for books called READO that has a great feature. You can leave comments on the book, e.g. on page 19: ‘Oh my gosh, that scene was so funny!’

And if someone else is reading the book and says they’ve got up to page 20, for example, then my comment is unlocked for them... but only up to that page, and all further comments remain hidden to avoid spoilers.

I watch series with my friends, but not in the same place and not at the same time. It would be great if we had an app where I could enter: Episode 3 … Minute 15 “that would have been so embarrassing for me” or I could add a meme or link a relevant TikTok to it, and my friends could only see it once they’d reached that scene too. We can’t always watch at the same time, but some of us do and then chat about it on WhatsApp, and by the time you get to that point yourself, you’ve missed the conversation – yet you’d still like to know if they were stunned by a particular scene, etc.

Is there anything like that?

One thing I noticed while analyzing products with low retention:

Most users don’t leave because your product is bad.
They leave because the behavior never becomes natural.

A lot of apps focus heavily on features, dashboards, AI, automations, redesigns…

But users are silently asking:

“Is this easy enough to continue tomorrow?”

That’s where most products fail.

Some common patterns:

  • Users sign up but feel overwhelmed immediately
  • The first win takes too long
  • There’s no emotional reward after taking action
  • The product solves a problem, but not frequently enough
  • Users need motivation every time they return

And eventually the app becomes:
“Interesting… but not part of my routine.”

Retention is rarely a marketing problem.
Most of the time it’s a behavior design problem.

The best products usually do 3 things really well:

• Reduce friction
• Create small quick wins
• Give users a reason to come back naturally

Sometimes even a tiny change in onboarding, reminders, progress visibility, or timing can completely change retention.

Curious — what retention problem are you currently facing in your app?

Everything you wanted to save for later

I constantly take screenshots while scrolling social media and browsing the internet just to save something for later: Amazon products, recipes, Reddit posts, funny comments, memes… But it all turns into dead weight, and in 99% of cases I never come back to those screenshots.

Idea: build an app where you can share a screenshot, and the app automatically organizes everything - puts screenshots into the right folders, adds relevant metadata, and makes them searchable later with natural language queries like:
“that Reddit post about an event I saved last week” or “all the movies I wanted to watch”.

what app idea gets copied instantly these days

lowkey any app that

  • gets traction on twitter
  • trends on tiktok
  • hits product hunt
  • or goes viral on reddit 💀

suddenly gets
17 clones
24 wrappers
and 50 “better alternatives” 😅

especially in categories like
• AI tools
• productivity apps
• note taking
• image generators
• chrome extensions
• creator tools 😭

because honestly…
building software became WAY easier now 💀

the hard part is no longer
coding the app

it’s:
distribution
retention
brand
community
and trust 👀

feels like features get copied in
days

sometimes HOURS 😭

which is why lowkey the strongest moat today is often:

  • audience
  • workflow integration
  • user habits
  • data
  • distribution 😅

not just:
“having the idea first” 💀

funny thing is many cloned apps still fail because
copying features ≠ copying momentum 😭

what app category do you think gets copied the fastest rn 👀
