Problem

Windows Search has always felt too limited to me.

It can open apps and sometimes find files, but when I actually want to search my PC properly, it usually falls apart.

I want to search and use features like:

- Text inside files, code, and images

- Browser bookmarks and history

- Clipboard history

- Git commits

- Windows settings

- Local commands

- Local agents for Windows

Windows Search is not powerful enough for this workflow.

So I Built OmniSearch

OmniSearch is a fast, lightweight, local-first Windows launcher that opens with:

"Alt + Space"

You can also set your own custom hotkey.

It gives you one search box for your PC.

Instead of only searching apps or basic file names, OmniSearch can search across:

- Apps

- Files and folders

- Content inside files, supporting 50+ extensions

- Image OCR text

- Browser bookmarks and history

- Clipboard history

- Git commits

- Windows settings and Control Panel pages

It also features an AI agent powered by Hermes and includes a powerful clipboard manager that gives you features no other Windows clipboard manager provides.

The goal is simple: Find everything on your PC from one shortcut.

Why is OmniSearch better than Windows Search and other popular launchers?

- Free and open source

- Local-first

- Lightweight

- Designed to run easily on low-end Windows PCs

- Image OCR text search

- Blazing-fast search of content inside files, supporting 50+ extensions

- Blazing-fast search over centralized PC history, including browser history, Git commit history, clipboard history, and file history

- Hermes agents for local Windows tasks and long autonomous tasks

Feedback

I am currently maintaining OmniSearch, and honestly, I cannot find and fix every bug alone because building a launcher like this on Windows is genuinely hard.

I would love feedback from people who use Windows every day.

If OmniSearch solves a problem for you too, please consider leaving a star on GitHub.

If you have ideas, find bugs, or want to improve something, feel free to open an issue or contribute to the project.

Your feedback is always appreciated.

So I’m obsessed with debate, I’ll be honest, and I’ve noticed, as I’m sure we all have, that discourse in recent years has gotten really toxic.

It’s either a dogpile, throwing insults, being condescending, I don’t need to rehash what I imagine we all already know.

I built an app where people could swipe on topics, get matched with someone who disagrees, and get a score on their civility. The idea was that if you’re always an asshole, your shitty civility score would follow you and no one would want to talk to you.

I added a feature in passing called toxic mode that did not judge your civility. Spew your venom, no holds barred.

That was the idea.

Every time I got an install on the app, every single user immediately jumped into toxic mode. Out of 100+ downloads, not a single person wanted to have a civil discussion. They wanted the messy version. The heated version. The version that felt more like a chaotic internet argument than a polite debate club.

So I stopped fighting it and built a lightweight browser version where you can just pick a topic and jump in:

The goal is still to get people talking to people they disagree with. Maybe the first step is not making everyone perfectly civil. Maybe it is just getting them in the same room.

And if that room has to be a little toxic to get people through the door, so be it.

Would love feedback on the idea and whether this feels like something people would actually try.

Last year we launched Templatify, which lets you manage your HTML email templates, inject them into emails and send to your real customers. It can be a total pain to copy paste HTML templates into emails and manage and keep versions, don't worry we do it for you.

And we support variables so that you can re-use same templates for multiple different use-cases

Just today!! we expanded our integration from GMail to Yahoo! and Outlook as well. Check us out https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/templatify-inject-html-em/aeaapcbilfddlkeeggbkkjmbchfaemkg

Hey everyone,

I built an iOS app called MyCareer Helper that includes a resume builder, resume feedback tools, and general career/college guidance features for students.

I’m still improving the resume section and would really appreciate feedback from people who have experience writing or reviewing resumes. I’m trying to make it feel closer to what actually gets used in real applications.

App link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mycareer-helper/id6775582906

Any feedback (design, content, features that are missing, etc.) would be really helpful.

The problem I kept hitting: I'd drive a couple hours to a spot and get flat midday light, or show up "an hour before sunset" and miss the actual window. Weather apps tell you if it'll rain — nothing told me when the light would actually be good, here, on this date.

So I built PrimeHour. You add your destinations + dates and it turns the trip into a shot-by-shot plan:
• Every location gets a 0–100 light score from sun angle, cloud cover, and forecast — with a plain-language reason for the number, not a black box
• A live sun & moon compass, an auto daily schedule with "set up by" times, and AI camera settings tuned to the gear you own
• Offline-first, so it all works in a canyon with no signal

Free to plan unlimited trips; Pro ($4.99/mo) adds the AI planning, full forecast, and auto-schedule.

Two things I'd genuinely love feedback on:

1. Does a single 0–100 "light score" feel trustworthy, or would you rather see the raw factors?
2. What would you like to see implemented in the future?

👉 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/primehour/id6772597417

We built this because we kept running into the same problem supporting a creator or charity meant juggling multiple platforms: one for discussion, one for donations and another just to track where the money went.

We brought it all into one place to make support, communication, and transparency simpler.

We’d really appreciate your feedback what feels intuitive, and what needs improvement.

People are actually downloading and making purchases on my very first app! I honestly can’t believe it, it feels so surreal to see something I built being used by others!

Hey everyone! Who wants a radio app without ads?

I’ve been working on a little side project called RadioSquare.

It’s basically a radio app focused on one thing: listening to radio stations without annoying ads everywhere 😅

You can listen to thousands of stations from all over the world, search by country or genre, save favourites, and keep listening in the background while using other apps.

I originally made it because most radio apps I tried felt bloated, full of ads, or outdated. I wanted something cleaner, faster & simpler.

It’s completely free, so if anyone wants to try it out and give me honest feedback, I’d really appreciate it 🙌

Hi everyone,

I’ve just published my very first app on Google Play and I’d really love to get some honest feedback from the community.

It’s called Quiet Lines — an AI-powered journaling app designed to help you reflect on your thoughts, gain insights, and build a consistent journaling habit.

Some features:
• AI-generated reflections based on your entries
• Guided journaling prompts
• Mood and writing insights
• Clean, distraction-free design
• Private and secure journal experience

I’m an independent developer and have been working on this project in my spare time, so any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports would mean a lot.

Thank you for taking a look!

If you hand your laptop to someone for a few minutes, they can still open Messages, Photos, Notes, Mail, WhatsApp, browsers, password managers, and other personal apps. I wanted a way to protect specific applications without constantly locking my entire Mac.

I looked around for solutions, but most were outdated, paid, abandoned, or didn't feel native to macOS.

So I built FaceGate.

FaceGate is a native macOS app that lets you lock individual applications and unlock them using Face Unlock, Touch ID, or a password.

A few things I focused on from day one:

• Everything runs locally on your Mac
• No cloud processing
• No accounts
• No telemetry
• No subscriptions
• Fully open source

Features:

• Face Unlock powered entirely on-device using Apple's Neural Engine - little impact on cpu and gpu resources.
• Fast authentication with very low memory and CPU usage
• Liveness detection to prevent photo and video spoofing attacks
• Touch ID and password fallback
• Per-app unlock timers
• Automatic re-lock on sleep, wake, or screen lock
• Custom schedules for automatic lock/unlock periods
• Tamper protection that prevents FaceGate from being quit, disabled, or uninstalled without authentication
• Runs quietly from the menu bar with minimal system impact.

The entire project is written in Swift and designed specifically for macOS.

This is still actively being developed, and I'd genuinely love feedback from Mac users.

Some questions:

• Is app-level locking something you've wanted on macOS?
• Which apps would you personally lock?
• What security or privacy features would you like to see added?

If you think I did a good job, please feel free to leave a star on my github repo - means a lot to me.

Feedback, feature requests, bug reports, and contributions are all welcome. I'd love to hear what you think.

SpiderFoot is a tool some people really relied on for OSINT. Problem is, it's been broken for a while now it won't install on modern Python, the dependencies break and the modules don't load. I came across it, and since this kind of thing lines up with what I do, I figured I could bring it back. I didn't use it myself, but a lot of people did, and leaving it dead didn't sit right. So I fixed it and gave it back to the people who used it. It installs again, all the modules load, scans run. I also pulled in a few community fixes that had been sitting unmerged for years. What people lost is back, and a bit stronger than before. SpiderFoot is Steve Micallef's work he built it and gave it away for free. I just made it run again. Something still broken? Tell me, I'll fix it. (For context: I'm 13 and mostly self-taught. I just like building and fixing this kind of thing.)

Hi everyone!

My name is Abror. I'm a backend developer from Uzbekistan. Back in October of 2025, I quit my job to work on an app that I always wanted to exist. I found a designer through Reddit and called my friend who is a mobile developer to work on the app. Since then, our small team of three has worked hard to create a new social media experience, one where the focus is less on your status and more on the genuine connections with people who love the same things as you do.

With current social media platforms, it's very hard for everyday people to find a good audience that will appreciate the interests and creations they want to share with the world. These platforms also promote self-focused content, making it harder to connect with authentic people who align with your ideas and interests.

Liora solves these issues with two core functions: Topics and Projects. Topics are spaces centered around engaging themes that allow people to share their content with an existing audience. Projects are creative spaces dedicated to your different ideas and interests, where you can create topics and contents to build the community you want.

The video above shows what we've built so far, and what we have is only just the beginning. We want to continue building Liora alongside a community of people who value the same things as we do. We're currently in closed beta testing, and we really need your help to test everything we've made, so please join our Discord to become a beta tester!

I developed Weather World because I wanted a simpler, more helpful way to stay ahead of the forecast. I truly believe that a weather app should be a tool that makes your life easier, not a source of distraction with ads and confusing menus.

How it helps you: The core of the app is all about visual clarity. I’ve focused on creating intuitive graphs that let you see temperature shifts and precipitation trends at a single glance. Instead of reading through long lists of numbers, you can visualize exactly how your day will unfold. It’s minimalist, lightweight, and built for speed—perfect for anyone who values a clean Android experience.

I’d love your support! Please give it a try and see if it helps your daily routine. If you find it useful, please recommend it to your friends! As a solo developer, your support and word-of-mouth are what help me improve and grow.

In compliance with the community rules, I’ve shared the link via IndieAppCircle. Check it out there and let me know what you think!

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.

To be honest, I was getting really annoyed every time I needed to do something simple like compress an image or convert a pdf. You google it and immediately get hit with ads, or they want you to make an account just to download your file. Plus, uploading personal stuff to random servers always felt super sketchy to me.

After dealing with this for a while, I just decided to build a massive toolbox for myself. Everything runs completely locally in the browser, so no servers, no signups, and nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

So I put it all together on https://footrue.com If anything feels broken or you think of something I should add, just drop a comment here.

Happy to return the favor and check out your projects too! Thank you!

i am building glyph.software - Turn your idea into a brand you can actually ship -
logo, design system and Vibe code easily.

My dad and my mom built something called LifeChapter, and I wanted to share it here in case it resonates with anyone.
It’s a personal journaling and family legacy platform where you can document your life story over time, build a timeline from your earliest memories to today, save photos and important documents, and preserve stories from family members. You can also create a “Time Capsule” to leave something meaningful for someone to open in the future.
A lot of it is focused on keeping memories from getting lost — whether that’s your own life, your parents’, grandparents’, or even just things you’ve always meant to write down but never got around to.
They’re offering a 30-day free trial (no credit card needed) right now while they’re getting it off the ground and looking for feedback.
If you’re into family history, journaling, or just want a simple way to preserve memories, it might be worth checking out.

https://lifechapter.io

Either way, I appreciate you taking a look and supporting a small family project.
