As stated in the title, I am obsessed with weather and trying out new weather apps, possibly unhealthily so lol. I’ve downloaded and tried dozens (hundreds?) of apps across the years on android and iOS.

Weatherglow is by far the best start to a new weather app I have ever seen.

It has a beautiful, and unique retro-futuristic design language, with multiple themes included.

It has incredibly useful features I've never seen quite like this in a weather app before. A sweat index?! My pasty European self living in the hot and humid US south loves the validation of knowing I’m not crazy for sweating like a horse the second I step outside in this ridiculous heat wave.

And it’s (currently at least?) all for the low cost of free! But really, I would be shocked if an app of this caliber stays free forever. AND! it's all powered by weather kit so the accuracy is great so far, for me at least.

This app is seriously the best, so happy to have come across it. If you are looking for an accurate, legitimately unique and useful daily weather app with a bold design language, PLEASE give this one a try. You owe it to yourself.

Ps, I am not at ALL affiliated with this app or the creator. I just love it and wanted to share haha :)

UB Alumni here. 😁

Happy 4th of July, everyone!!! I made a game! 😁

Don’t Let It Sleep is live on the App Store for iOS/Apple users. Android version is on the way!!

Here’s the iOS link:

Download - Don’t Let It Sleep - Here

Have fun! Let me know what you think. If you like it share it with your friends. If you don’t, share it with your enemies. 😂😂😂

I’m still looking for a few more Android testers if anyone wants to play before it’s released on Android.

Disclosure: I’m the developer of TipOtter.

TipOtter is an iOS app tip calculator for restaurant bills. It can scan a receipt or let you type in the subtotal and tax, choose a tip like 15%, 18%, or 20%, and show the final total before you pay.

One thing it handles is the way restaurant card charges often work: the meal amount may show first, then the final charge updates later after the tip is added. TipOtter saves the bill details and receipt photo, so the final charge is easier to check later.

It also has Smart mode. Smart mode keeps the tip close to the percentage you picked, but nudges it by a few cents so the final total has a simple pattern.

For example, if the total is $85.49:

8 + 5 = 4 + 9

That makes the charge easier to recognize later without digging through every receipt.

A few details:

• Name: TipOtter
• Description: receipt scanner and tip calculator with Standard and Smart tip modes
• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tipotter-tip-calculator/id6780353727
• Trial: 7 days free
• Lifetime Access: $9.99 one-time purchase, no subscription
• Privacy: no account required; bill history and receipt photos stay on your device

Useful for eating out, work meals, travel, saved receipts, or anyone who wants a clearer final total at the table.

This is not intentionally advertising, I just want to share an app that really has changed how I consume news. I happened to have built it. I'm disclosing this as per Rule#8. That being said...

I absolutely love my e-ink tablets. I love reading on them. What I noticed is the problem with my iPhone or iPad wasn't only that the screen wasn't e-ink, it was also that every app assumes you want to vertically scroll. The "doom scroll" that feels endless because the app is trying to keep you engaged to show you more ads.

I decided to build a news app that doesn't scroll. Instead it breaks up every article in to pages like a book. You can clearly see it's 7 pages long for example.

I'm biased but I absolutely love using it. No algorithm, nothing deciding what I see besides me. It's much calmer. It also uses "readability" so the article is just text and images.

A few features I'm pretty excited and proud of
- Mute: You can mute keywords to avoid movie spoilers, hide news topics you're tired of hearing about. It's liberating.

- On Device Summary: if you have Apple Intelligence, it will take a 30 page article and give you the important bullet points.

- Multiple device syncing but entirely optional. If you want to use it offline, all of the data is private to your one device. You can create an account which just syncs your followed news sources, read articles, articles you saved (stars) things like that.

- NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. I honestly hate subscriptions. Even though I have server costs with the syncing system, I wanted to price it where you buy it once and have it forever. There's a 14 day trial fully featured, then a 1 time in app purchase if you want to buy it.

There's more but I don't want this post to be too long. Please check it out.

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.

Hello Everyone!

This is a very big update coming to the app for iOS, iPadOS and tvOS. It’s built on a pre-release version of the brand-new libVLC 4 engine — a new clock, player and playlist core — with a redesigned interface and a long list of features.

A few of the highlights:

* HDR playback, multi-channel & spatial audio, and Picture-in-Picture
* Dual subtitles
* A fully redesigned audio player, tvOS player and web interface, iOS 26 “Liquid Glass” adaptation
* iPad sidebar navigation, a now-playing widget, gamepad control, and App Intents / Siri
* “Kids Mode” to prevent accidental deletions, pCloud integration
* New codecs, formats and protocols (HEIF, DASH WebM, DVBSUB in MKV, RIST, AMT, Gopher, and more)
* Major accessibility improvements throughout the playback interface

iOS 12 / tvOS 13 and later

It’s a very first test release. It is not finished and not feature-complete. Install it via TestFlight, try it on your own library, and tell us what breaks.

Thank you for using VLC!

My friend and I have spent the last 18 months building BudgetGo.

At first, we thought we were building a simple budgeting app. Something to help people track expenses, manage their money, and understand where their income was going.

But the more we built, the more we realized that budgeting is not simple at all.

It is not just about adding transactions, showing charts, or putting spending into categories. People do not just want to track their money. They want to feel like they actually have control over it.

That realization changed how we think about the product.

We started BudgetGo as a small project, but now we want it to become a much better personal finance experience. Not just another expense tracker, but something that helps people understand their habits, spot where their money is going, and make better decisions without feeling overwhelmed.

The app is still early. It has rough edges. There are things we know we need to improve, and probably many things we have not even noticed yet.

That is why I’m posting here.

We are looking for people to test BudgetGo and give brutally honest feedback.

Tell us what feels confusing. Tell us what is missing. Tell us what you would never use. Tell us what would actually make you come back to a budgeting app consistently.

We are not looking for compliments. We are looking for real feedback so we can find the problems worth solving and make the product better.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to try it or share feedback.

Hello Reddit 👋

About a year ago I did the math on my screen time and it genuinely scared me — 10 to 12 hours a day on my phone. Work was slipping. The things I actually cared about, learning, getting better at anything, never happened, because every spare minute got swallowed by the feed. It was quietly wrecking me, and I think a lot of you know the exact feeling I'm describing.

What pushed me over the edge was reading more about what all this scrolling might be doing to our brains. I'm not a neuroscientist and I won't overstate it, but there's a growing pile of research into how heavy screen use affects attention, mood, and even brain structure, and enough of it worried me that I couldn't keep ignoring it.

So I built Deplug. It blocks your distracting apps, and here's the twist: to unlock them, you finish a quick language lesson first. Most blockers die the second you tap "ignore." This one makes you do one small good thing for your brain before you get back in. You either scroll less, or you accidentally start learning Spanish. Both are wins.

What it does:
🔒 Real blocking: Built on Apple's Screen Time, so it actually holds — not a willpower button you can tap away.
🗣️** Learn to unlock**: Finish a short lesson to earn your screen time back. Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, English.
🧠 Built for your brain: The whole point is fighting burnout and lost time now, and the longer-term cost of doomscrolling, while giving you something most of us never make time for.

Who it's for:

- You doomscroll more than you'd ever admit out loud
- You've always wanted to pick up a language but "never had time"
- You like clean design and apps made by someone who actually cares

The deal for this sub: I'm giving away 6 months completely free, and it will never auto-charge you. And if you're an early adopter from this June group and you genuinely find it useful, I'll make sure you keep your access past the six months too. You showed up early, I'll look after you.

This is only up for 3 days, and I've got a limited number of spots for this early group — so if it speaks to you, jump on it.
