[iOS] [$99.99 -> FREE LIFETIME] Precursor : Screen time that resets every hour, because I was tired of hitting my limit by 9am and getting locked out all day.

This community has been so supportive of Precursor and I want to say thank you so much, we are keeping the free lifetime train going!!

If you already have been trying Precursor I'd love to hear how its been going for you!

For anyone who hasn't seen Precursor before, it's not just another vibecoded screen time app:

I just pushed a big update this week that introduced:

  1. easy, normal, and hard limit modes
  2. the ability to have your limits active only during specified hours and days
  3. as well as a new parent mode which locks down limits a bit more concretely for anyone trying to help someone else practice healthier phone habits!

Redeem in the app settings, no code necessary!

RecallNote

I built RecallNote because I kept forgetting what I studied after a few days.

Instead of taking endless notes, I wanted a simple app that helps review important information before exams.

Features:

Organize notes by subject

Track review progress

Memory retention score based on review history

Works offline

No account required

I'm still improving it and would love feedback from students.

What features would make a study review app more useful for you?

​

​

Thanks for checking it out. Any feedback is welcome, and I hope RecallNote helps students retain what they learn and prepare for exams more effectively.

Walkie Talkie style ptt phone calls with free unlimited calling. 🤯

Are you tired of using apps from the App Store that make you watch ads.

What if you could just visit a web app that automatically assigned to a phone number?

This is an all-inclusive Network that is separate from the existing grid.

Anyone who visits this web app is automatically given a free phone number, no sign up, no ads, no data collection.

Save contacts, except or reject calls, make as many free unlimited calls as you want, as long as you have an internet connection and a web browser, you're free to make as many calls as you like.

I made this app about an hour ago and there are more upgrades coming, I'm going to introduce the text messaging which will also be free and unlimited, I'm going to set it up so you can get push notifications through your browser and tell when someone has sent you a text message.

I'm currently using text now which forces me to watch ads, they're probably listening to my calls and reading my text messages, with walkie-talkie, this will never happen.

Go ahead and test it out today, send the web address of this app to your friend and enjoy talking unlimited, private and secure.

If you bring it this far, thanks for reading and thanks in advance for checking out my app, I really hope it picks up because this can help a lot of people can't afford a monthly plan or those who are just tired of using free apps from app stores that force you to watch ads and that are clearly collecting your private data.

I won #1 on PixelPicked this week - free game, no forced ads, same Flappy Bird feel but you have to graze death to score

Flappy Bird: Avoid everything.

My game GRAZE: Edge Rush: Avoiding gives you 0 points. You have to graze within 8px of death to score. Chain grazes to build a multiplier. Avoid and you lose it.

Solo dev, built so I could play in one hand during the long nights with my newborn in the other arm. No forced ads, no IAP tricks, just a daily board and leaderboard that everyone is competing on. Just won #1 Launch Game this week on PixelPicked which still feels fake: https://pixelpicked.com

This clip is x16 bubble field - 3,932 → 8,609 in 9 seconds. My best today is 22,000, all time best is 37,661.

Free download if you want to try to beat it - link in comments so I don't get flagged for self-promo.

[iOS][Free, no sub] I'm a surgeon and I built a separate work camera so patient photos never touch my personal camera roll

My camera roll used to be surgery photos sitting next to family photos, all syncing to the same iCloud Photos. Nothing really fixed it. Albums don't separate anything because the photo stays in the main library, vault apps make you shoot first and sort later, and the pro SaaS cameras want a monthly subscription and upload your photos to their own cloud.

So I built Sidecam:

  • It's an actual camera (24/48 MP, all the physical lenses, 4K video), not a gallery with a camera bolted on
  • Photos and videos live only inside the app. It never saves to your Photos library and it can't even read it
  • Optional: it mirrors everything into your own iCloud Drive as normal folders and files (Client/date - tags/), so nothing is locked inside my app
  • Sessions, folders and tags for organising by client, patient or job
  • Free. No account, no cloud of mine, no subscription. Your photos never leave your own devices

I made it for medical work but it fits anything where work photos shouldn't mix with your personal life, like inspections, construction or real estate.

https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6791532989?pt=129142015&ct=reddit-appswithoutsub&mt=8

Happy to answer anything, and if there's something missing for your line of work tell me and I'll probably build it.

TalentTrade [iOS] A social network for sharing and exchanging skills

I’ve always had a slightly unusual dream: to create my own social network.

Not another social network where people endlessly scroll through photos without actually creating meaningful connections.

I wanted to build something that could bring people together around what they know and what they can do.

That’s how TalentTrade was born. ❤️

The idea is simple:

👉 You know how to play guitar?
👉 You’re good at cooking?
👉 You’re passionate about photography?
👉 You speak several languages?
👉 You know how to code, build things, draw, play sports?

Then you have something to share.

And maybe someone else has a skill you’ve always wanted to learn.

TalentTrade allows people to share their skills, discover what others can do, and create meaningful exchanges between people.

And the most important part?

I actually built it.

Hours of designing, coding, testing, doubts… and today, the app is real.

But there’s something I can’t build on my own:

YOU.

💰 TalentTrade is completely free to use.

When you join, you receive free credits that you can use to connect with other users and exchange skills.

The goal is to let you discover the platform and start exchanging skills without having to pay to get started.

No subscription is required to create your profile, share your skills, discover other talents and start using TalentTrade.

A social network without users is just a great idea.

So today, I’m simply asking you to help me bring it to life. ❤️

🌐 Discover TalentTrade: talentrade.app
📱 Download TalentTrade for iPhone: TalentTrade - Skill Swap on the App Store

Create your profile, add your skills, discover other people’s talents, and tell me what you think.

Maybe your next friendship, your next learning experience, or even your next passion will start with nothing more than a skill you decided to share.

The project is mine.
But the community can become ours.

So… who’s ready to become one of TalentTrade’s first users?

"Coming soon on Android"

No screen time app lets you control your limits on an hourly basis, and I seriously don't understand why.

Hey there :)

I'm a recent first-gen graduate and a first-time solo developer. Super excited to share that my first app Precursor: Hourly Screen Time went live on the App Store today!

A: Precursor lets you set a screen time allowance that resets every hour instead of one daily limit that forces you to budget and ration your screen time throughout the day.

B: I am a bit astonished that not even apple has implemented this feature into their native screen time framework.

I'll admit the task was a bit difficult due to the inconsistencies of app usage tracking and becuase of that there are some limitations to how I implemented hourly screen time limts on iOS. Nonetheless I am really proud of the app so far.

I think it's resonating with people, I mean I knew a few others had this gripe becasue its pretty commonly posted about on reddit, but I didn't think it would be this well received. I feel so lucky that just the beta grew to 200 testers in about a week, most of them from this very subreddit (if you are one of those founding testers literally cannot thank you enough for your time and feedback! but I will try ;) stay tuned!)

At it's core I think Precursor helps break unhealthy phone habits through moderation rather than punishing you for falling into a doomscroll that wasn't your fault (these social media apps are literally designed to keep you scrolling, looking at you Reddit).

Thanks a ton for reading, if you have time and energy to support I would be eternally grateful.

Link to the app store:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/precursor-hourly-screen-time/id6791403654

And if you have time to also support the launch on product hunt I would be even more eternally grateful than I already am(The core function of the app is free but there is a PH launch promo code running from 2026-08-02 until 2026-08-08 if you want to try out the extra features):

https://www.producthunt.com/products/precursor-2?launch=precursor-hourly-screen-time-control

C:
- Free Tier:

  • The full hourly reset function
  • 3 app limit groups
  • A "never allow" app/siteblocking list.

- Paid tiers (Monthly: $4.99/Yearly: $49.99/Lifetime: $99.99):

  • 30 minute reset windows (in addition to hourly)
  • up to 8 app limit groups.
  • Everything included in free tier

Bike Computer for iPhone

Hello,

I hope you are all well.

I combined my passion for cycling with my new hobby of coding and decided to create a bike computer for iOS (I have an iPhone). I built it for myself, and friends told me to make it available.

My goal isn't to replace real bike computers, but to give people who don't have one a way to have their own bicycle dashboard.

I would love to hear what you think about it. (If you already have a bike computer and also own a mount, it would be great to hear your comparison!)

The download link is here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bikecomputerapp/id6758956968

Not selling anything. It's free! :-)

FRQ: Binaural & Isochronic Sessions

I shared FRQ here last week and received a genuinely encouraging response, so I’m back with another batch of Google Play promo codes.

FRQ is an Android sound app for creating your own focused listening sessions instead of choosing from fixed, pre-recorded tracks.

Key features:

• Binaural beats and isochronic tones
• Adjustable beat frequency and base tone
• Independent pink-noise surf layer
• Built-in brainwave-band guidance
• Session timer with a gradual fade-out
• Customisable colours and reactive visuals
• No ads, subscriptions or account required
• Language support for English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese

Stereo headphones are recommended for binaural mode. Isochronic tones and pink noise can also be used without them.

If you’d like a free Google Play promo code, leave a comment and I’ll send one privately. There’s no obligation to leave a review.

I’d particularly welcome honest feedback on how intuitive the frequency controls feel, how clearly the two listening modes are distinguished, and whether the pink-noise mixing and timer work well during real sessions.

[iOS] I built a privacy-focused iPhone storage cleaner with on-device analysis — looking for feedback

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.

Google Tasks Native on iPhone + things we wanted + it is not a vibecode project + Free & Ad-free

www.etasks.app

Completely free, works with and without a Google Account.

Hi all,

I work as a cybersecurity analyst on this App. As a Redditor, I wanted to share this.

www.etasks.app

It went to open early access now, so I thought it is the right time to share with you guys. It is completely free and ad-free. It has features we wanted as users. (If there’s anything you’d like the team to add, please let me know so I can include it on the roadmap. For example, list sorting is recently added as a user request, location-based notifications requested and is already on the to-do list.)

ABC's of the App:

(A)nswer
ETasks (www.etasks.app) is a native iOS, iPadOS, Mac OS client for Google Tasks. Some highlights: All tasks in one view, Real alarms, Shared lists, Apple Watch.

(B)etter
It addresses the functional limitations of the official Google Tasks iOS app by providing missing native features and enhanced tools. And it is not a vibe-coding project.

+ You can manage your Google Tasks. They appear in your Google Calendar and Gmail ... well, obviously 😄* *
+ See all task lists together, even drag&drop between them
+ Alarms

+ Choose priority for favorites
+ Drag and Drop interface between tabs (e.g., to calendar tab to drop on a date)
+ Recycle bin
+ Share from other apps into ETasks (texts, links, photos, PDF; all processed accordingly)
+ Apple Watch / iPad Apps
