I built a home inventory app where you never type anything: snap a photo, find your stuff months later [Android, free]

Solo dev here. I kept owning things and forgetting where I put them, so I built Store & Forget.

The whole point is zero effort to catalog: you don't type or tag anything. Snap a photo and it auto-fills what the item is (the photo scan uses a cloud AI service). Later you find it by searching names, descriptions, or which box or room it's in, or tap "Smart Find" to search by meaning.

Local-first: everything sits in an on-device database, no account, no sign-up. Optional backup to your own Google Drive.

It's free, Android only. Would love feedback from other builders.

[Help needed] I need advice about a new video on the Play Store for my app

This is the app (called "LWP+"), and I've shown here the video that I've published there:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.lwp_plus

At first I was happy about what I created on the video, but then I thought that it looks more like a tutorial here, instead of maybe focusing on what's the most interesting. Surprisingly, ever since I've published the video, it actually got quite some views already (29 after 2 days), despite the fact it's a bit of a niche app. Still, I think maybe it can be improved.

I want to know what you guys think about the video (which has audio, BTW).

Here's about the app:

It's a live wallpaper app, that has these features:

  1. Allows showing color/image/animation/video as content (users choose the file from the file system). No special effects so some users that complain about the dimming/zooming effects actually like using it. Users can also choose whether it should scroll or the type of automatic cropping.

  2. Allows (some) control over the Material-You colors of the OS, as it lets users to choose the colors to report the OS about what's on the wallpaper. This means that like on Android 17, users can choose the colors they want (if the OS supports it) despite the content not matching it.

  3. Setting of double-tap to lock the screen. Some launchers don't offer this, so I added it to the app too.

  4. Some extra flags that (on some devices) should affect colors further, such as black/white text and/or black/white icons on status bar and/or lock screen and/or launcher.

The app is completely free, ad-based. Users can remove the ads including by just watching full screen ads. Originally it was created to offer dark-theme on devices as it wasn't a toggle on the OS settings, and was based on the colors of the wallpaper.

Built my first iOS app after months of late nights — looking for honest feedback

After a lot of late nights, I finally launched my first iOS app: PixelPlay: IPTV Player.

It’s an IPTV player built specifically for iPhone & iPad.

I wanted something that felt more native to iOS and less cluttered than most IPTV apps.

Current features:
• M3U & Xtream support
• TV guide / EPG
• Multi-screen view
• PiP support
• Face ID protected channels
• No ads
• One-time unlock for $9.99 (no subscription)

Still super early, and I’d genuinely love honest feedback from iOS users.

What would you improve in an app like this?

The Ultimate brandnew IpTV player: Mert Stream TV

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on Mert Stream TV, a brand-new IPTV player designed specifically for Android TV, TV boxes, and Android phones. Just to be clear: Mert Stream TV does not provide, host, or sell any content. It is strictly a media player built to run your own personal M3U playlist, Stalker or Xtream Codes credentials. I originally decided to build Mert Stream because I was frustrated with the current options on the market.

Most of them: Feel like they haven't updated their UI since 2015. Run sluggishly on budget streaming sticks and lower-end TV hardware. Offer a frustrating, clunky navigation experience with standard TV remotes.

I wanted something clean, incredibly fast, and smart. Here is what Mert Stream brings to the table:

🚀 Key Features: Live TV, Movies & Series: Fully categorized with a modern, clean layout. Multi-Profile Support: Set up different profiles for family members. Extensive Codec Support: Playback is smooth and compatible with virtually any video format. Android TV Optimized: A true, native leanback experience built specifically for D-pad navigation. Lightweight & High Performance: Highly optimized code to ensure buttery-smooth navigation even on low-end TV hardware.

📥 Get It Now for Android TV and Phone

📥 Get It Now for Android Phone

Mert Stream is officially available on the Google Play Store for both mobile and TV devices.

Built a charades app with actual Desi categories.

​

Been building this solo for a while. ActOut plays like Charades and Heads Up, except alongside the usual categories, there's a full set made for Indian households: Bollywood, cricket, mythology, desi slang, and more.

Started it because every game night at home hit the same wall: the existing charades apps ran out of prompts our family actually recognized, and within twenty minutes everyone was repeating the same words. So I built the categories I wished existed.

Right now it's got 58+ categories and 4,600+ words, works fully offline (useful for road trips or spotty WiFi at a family gathering), and uses the classic tilt-the-phone-on-your-forehead mechanic.

It's free to play, ad-supported, with optional premium category packs. Sitting at 4.6 stars from the early crowd so far.

Would love feedback from this community, especially on what's working and what to add next.

A family-friendly Charades Party game, featuring categories specifically designed for Indian audiences, alongside traditional Charades and Heads Up categories.

I’m an HVAC tech. I got fed up with cloud apps failing in basements, so I spent my nights building an offline-first asset tracker with edge AI scanning.

[Founder here]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working as a commercial facility HVAC technician for years, and one recurring nightmare drove me to learn software development: tracking heavy mechanical hardware inside concrete vaults, hospital basements, and deep sub-levels.

Every enterprise CMMS or inventory tool on the market completely drops dead the moment you lose cellular service. On top of that, manual data entry while hanging off a ladder trying to read a corroded, sun-bleached nameplate is completely impractical.

I built Equipment Tracker Pro to solve the exact headaches we face in the dirt.

The core architecture runs on a localized SQLite engine that caches everything locally on-device. It updates and logs completely offline, then executes a smart-sync state change with a Firebase backend only when you walk back out to the truck and hit signal.

To kill the keyboard friction, I integrated a multimodal Gemini AI scanning layer. You snap a photo of a weathered data plate, and it extracts over 40 structured database fields (Compressor RLA/LRA, MCA, MOP, factory chemical charge weights, belt codes, and filter sizes). It also automates EPA Section 608 leak-rate math configurations for heavy commercial industrial charges and handles native thermal printing layouts for on-site QR asset tagging.

The core logging frameworks are completely free because bottom-up technician adoption matters more than corporate walls.

The web platform documentation and details are fully accessible directly via our main domain portal at: https://equipment-tracker.com

I am also launching a Product Hunt community queue this Tuesday to gather raw UX feedback from other developers and field engineers.

Would love to know your thoughts on the offline-first sync architecture or the edge OCR accuracy limits if you've built similar tools!

[APP]I built a lightweight, fast Picture Viewer app for reading manga – looking for beta testers/feedback!

As a manga reader, I always found that a lot of default gallery apps or heavy image viewers clunk up the experience when you're trying to scroll through high-res chapters or downloaded images.

To solve this, I've been working on a lightweight, fast Android app called PictureViewer, and I just released it to public testing. I wanted to build something minimal that handles image loading smoothly without a clunky UI getting in the way of the art also it has offline translation.

Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.borgeer.PictureviewerAPP

What I'd love to know:

  • How does the scrolling and page-loading speed feel on your device?
  • Does the offline translation works good for the app?
  • Does the UI feel clean and out of the way while you're looking at pages?
  • Any specific features you feel a viewer absolutely needs for a better reading experience?

It's completely free to install

I built Sammy cause regular to-do apps made my adhd worse not better

Ok so I have adhd and for YEARS my actual routine was: open some to-do app, see a list of 30 things, immediately shut down, close the app, do none of it. Then feel bad about it. Then repeat next day.

Took me way too long to relaize the list itself was the problem, not the tasks.

So I built Sammy. Instead of a list you just get one task at a time, shown as a card. Swipe right if you wanna start it, left to skip it. Thats genuinely the whole thing.

what it does:

  • one task at a time, never the full overwhelming list
  • swipe right to start, left to skip, no menus no explanation
  • little timer if you just need 5-10 min to get going
  • theres a squirrel mascot that reacts to stuff instead of guilt tripping you
  • works in english, german and spanish

not trying to replace notion or whatever, just trying to kill that split second of paralysis before you've even picked what to do. thats the only job it has.

started as an 8 hour hyperfocus build at like 2am, no login no nothing. turning that into something with actual accounts that sync across your phone/laptop took a few more months of just chipping away solo evenings and weekends.

its live now on play store and app store, which still feels weird to type out honestly.

would love to know if this actually works for anyone else who deals with task paralysis or if the swipe thing is just a novelty that wears off after a week. tell me the honest version not the nice version.

i think i found a gap in the market

For most of my life I tried to be someone else. I'd find someone I admired, decide they were better than me, and copy them. That mindset pushed me into a business I never enjoyed and only started because I looked up to one specific guy. It failed. I felt completely lost.

Around that time I was obsessively tracking my sleep with a Whoop, trying to optimize it. I kept getting good recovery scores. And I was still exhausted, yawning through entire afternoons, dead by 2pm. That's when it clicked: the score doesn't do anything. It just confirms you slept well or badly. Cool. Now what? Knowing isn't fixing.

So I built the thing I actually wanted. It takes the data your wearable already collects sleep, recovery, heart rate, and turns it into a daily protocol instead of another number. It tells you what supplements to take based on your metrics, predicts your most productive hours and gives you the exact time window when you should do deep focus tasks and light focus tasks, it tells you how much caffeine you have in your system left based on your first coffee taken and notifies you when you should take the next caffeinated drink for maximum productivity, it even tells you when to nap so your energy lasts the whole day instead of crashing and much more...

It's on the App Store as RizeAI https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rizeai-maximize-your-energy/id6762402079. i built by myself, it's early stage right now, and I want honest feedback, what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd never use. Tear it apart.

Braindump a notes app for ADHD brains

I am a chronic list maker (good band names, nicknames for my cats, snacks worth buying again) and my ADHD brain loses the thought before I find the right list. So I built the app that stops that.

App Name: Braindump

What it does: A cute, calm notes app where thoughts land where they belong instead of piling up in one giant unsorted note. Type @ to send a note straight to a list or even a sub-list inside it, or just dump everything and let it file things for you.

Key Features:

  • @ tagging that files notes instantly: "@groceries milk, eggs" lands on the groceries list, "@cats/nicknames Sir Loaf" goes straight into a sub-list inside my cats notes
  • Auto-sort for everything else: dump a messy line like "milk, dentist friday 3pm, band name idea" and each piece gets filed where it belongs, and it learns the way you type so every correction makes it better
  • Super customizable (every category gets its own color, pattern, background, and emoji icon) and works totally offline with no account, with optional sync across devices

Goal: Launch. It just went live in production this week, and I would genuinely love feedback.

I built a 100% free, ad-free net worth tracker because Excel was driving me insane.

I was losing my mind checking 4 different apps and updating a messy spreadsheet just to figure out how much money I actually had.

​

I just wanted a clean dashboard to track everything (banks, ETFs, crypto, and physical cash) in one place. So I built my own app using Lovable.

​

It’s 100% free and has zero ads. I originally made it just for myself. Fast forward a month and way too much money spent on AI credits fixing weird bugs, it actually works perfectly now.

​

It does one thing and does it well. No extra noise, no paywalls. You open it, see your total net worth, and close it.

​

Drop your feedback below. Tell me what you like, but mostly tell me what sucks so I can fix it.

[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.

Got tired of paying a subscription just to remind myself to read a book

I've had three different reading apps at various points, all doing the same thing - reminder, timer, notes, streak - and all wanting a monthly subscription for it. There's no ongoing cost to these companies for me having a streak. It's a stopwatch and a counter, not a service. So I decided to build my own. Same core stuff as the others, but local only, no account, and if I add more later it's a single $4.99 once, not a subscription.

It's called Foxlit, I'm running a small private beta before it goes live. If this sounds familiar, I'd appreciate a few testers: https://barecoapps.github.io/foxlit/#

I hope and plan to add more features in the future and would love suggestions!
