I open-sourced my on-device privacy redaction app for iPhone

Hi everyone—full disclosure: I’m the developer of PrivacyCam, and I recently made its source code available under the Apache 2.0 license.

PrivacyCam helps you review photos, videos, and PDFs before sharing them. It can detect faces, people, license plates, QR codes, barcodes, and sensitive text such as phone numbers, email addresses, payment-card details, and addresses. You can then blur, pixelate, or completely black out selected areas.

Detection and media processing happen on the device. Photos, videos, PDFs, and detected text aren’t uploaded to a server operated by me, and no account is required. The source is public so people can inspect how these privacy protections are implemented.

The app is free to download, with an optional $2.99 one-time purchase for batch-photo features—no subscription. For complete transparency, purchases are processed by Apple.

I’d appreciate comments on the privacy model, redaction workflow, and source code. What other sensitive information should an app like this help users identify?

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

[opportunity][iOS] Giving 20 people a free 1-year Monni membership for beta feedback

I'm Jerry, founder of Monni.

I'm giving 20 people a free 1-year membership in exchange for blunt feedback on the first week.

Monni is an iOS money brief for people who want a lighter weekly check-in instead of a full budgeting system.

Best fit:

  • you use or used Mint, Monarch, YNAB, Simplifi, spreadsheets, or mental math
  • you want a clearer "what's safe to spend this week?" view
  • you're okay telling me what feels confusing or untrustworthy

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/monni-ai-money-tracker/id6778174904

Website: https://monni.io

DM me if you want one. I'll reply asking for the email to grant access to, then manually add the free year.

Please don't post your email publicly, and don't send balances, screenshots, account numbers, addresses, passwords, or private financial details. High-level workflow feedback is enough.

I may be biased because I'm the founder of Monni.io.

[self promotion] i made twilock for the two times i keep doomscrolling: 50 free lifetime pro codes

i'm a comp sci student at uf, and i made twilock because i kept doing the same thing, doomscrolling in bed when i should be sleeping, then reaching for my phone and doing it again as soon as i woke up.

i see people my age doing the same damn thing. those two moments feel like the hardest times to put the phone down, so that's what i focused the app on.

i'm giving away 50 lifetime pro unlocks, normally $79.99, if you'd like to try it. it's one shared pool of 50 across my reddit posts, first come, first served.

app store: download twilock

how to claim:

dm me for a code, or leave a comment saying you'd like one and i'll dm you while it last.

once i send your code, download twilock and finish onboarding. tap settings at the bottom right, scroll down to help below recovery and support, and tap redeem promo code. paste your code into the apple redemption screen and follow the prompts. if pro hasn't appeared afterward, tap restore purchases in the same help section.

i'd really appreciate any suggestions for the app or honest criticism about what could be better. thanks for taking a look.

New [App] for streaming local FM radio Stations (Kitchen Radio)

After streaming a lot of music on my phone, I was in the mood to just listen to some local over-the-air radio stations. I found out that it’s not so easy to find an app that does this simply and isn’t made almost unusable by lots of annoying ads.

That was the idea behind creating Kitchen Radio. It reminded me of a friend who owns a lot of tech, but once said he wished he just had a simple radio in his kitchen to turn on and listen to.

Since it’s still an app, it’s also possible to discover all kinds of new music from around the world.

Since the app is new, I would really appreciate your honest feedback. :-)

Updated my App Store screenshots after feedback. Is the app’s purpose clearer now?

I’m working on the screenshots for my travel app, and the biggest feedback on my previous set was that people couldn’t tell what the app actually did.

I’ve replaced the vague captions with direct benefits and used real app screens alongside examples of what users can create. I also made the phone sizes and layout consistent.

Before explaining the app here and influencing your first impression: what would you expect this app to do from these screenshots alone?

Would you keep this order, or is there a stronger screenshot to lead with? Honest criticism welcome.
