We just launched GestureVault on the App Store 🎉

It’s a privacy-focused vault app that uses a custom gesture-based unlock, and we’re really excited to finally get it into people’s hands.
Since we just launched, we’re looking for some early users who are willing to actually try it out and tell us what they think — what you like, what feels confusing, what you’d change, features you’d want, bugs you find, anything.
We’re giving out 10 promo codes to people in this thread who want to test it.
No requirement to leave an App Store review or anything like that — we genuinely want feedback here so we can make the app better.
If you’re interested, comment below and I’ll send you a code. 🔐

I built a multi-timer app that keeps several timers visible and controllable at once on the Lock Screen

I’m the solo developer behind Multi Timers & Talking Alarms, available for iPhone and Apple Watch.

A — Answer

The app began with a simple problem: during busy, hands-full moments, I didn’t have time to repeatedly unlock my iPhone and open an app just to check several timers.

Apple’s built-in Clock app works well for basic timing. The difficulty begins when several timers are running.

Finding the right timer from the Lock Screen can require waking the screen, expanding the timer stack, and sorting through several similar-looking entries. Upcoming alarms are not shown there before they ring, so checking what is scheduled means opening Clock and switching to the Alarms tab.

Lock Screen controls can also be triggered accidentally when an iPhone wakes as it is taken from a pocket, bag, or drawer.

What began as a solution for busy, hands-full moments has since evolved into a complete timer board spanning the iPhone, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch.

B — Better

Instead of sorting through a stack of similar-looking timers, you get:

• One color-coded board containing countdowns, scheduled alarms, and notes  

• Lock Screen snapshots showing names, colors, remaining time, and expected finish time  

• Spoken alerts that tell you what is ready without requiring you to look  

• Custom and recorded alarm sounds  

• A native seven-slot Apple Watch board  

• Face ID–protected Lock Screen controls to help prevent accidental taps  

• Saved timer configurations and Markdown notes  

• Siri controls and Home Screen widgets

C — Cost

Free to download. No ads. No subscription. No account required. No data collected.

Optional one-time purchases in the US:

• All Timer Slots — $0.99  

• Palette Unlock — $2.99  

• Buy Developer a Coffee — $4.99 optional tip

[Free beta] Plus One: a lifting app where the Apple Watch runs the whole workout, phone in your locker

I built Plus One because I wanted to lift without carrying my phone between sets. The watch app runs the full workout on its own:

  • The number to beat on your wrist. Each set shows what you did last time, like "Beat 60 × 9". Log the set with a tap.
  • Rest timer that buzzes when it's time for the next set.
  • Rate how hard it felt right on the watch after each lift.
  • A summary at the end showing how many sets beat last time.
  • Works without your phone nearby. Everything syncs back to the iPhone app when you're done.

Price: free. It's in beta on TestFlight right now. It needs an iPhone (iOS 18+) to install and to hold your history.

What I enjoy most: walking from station to station with nothing in my hands, glancing at my wrist, and knowing exactly what I need to hit.

If you lift with your watch, I'd love to know: what does your current watch workout app get wrong?
