Hi r/ProductivityApps! I'm the solo developer of WhisperAct (iPhone + iPad).
Posting for feedback

The problem: I think faster than I type. By the time I opened Reminders, picked a date and typed it out, half the thought was gone. And "remind me tomorrow + party Saturday + buy a gift" is really three different things in three different apps.

What it does: you say (or type) everything in one go, like:

>"Remind me tomorrow at 9 to pick up the cake. Maya's party is tomorrow at 3 at Dolores Park. Buy a gift card and wrap the present."

and it splits that into:

• a reminder → saved to Apple Reminders
• an event → saved to Apple Calendar
• to-dos → kept in the app

Things I cared about:

• You review before anything saves. It's not a black box that dumps stuff into your calendar.
• It asks instead of guessing. "Renew my passport this month" gets a "Which day?" question rather than a random date. Same for repeats ("every morning at 8" → "Does this repeat daily?").
• Plan view: Today / Upcoming / Inbox, plus a Home Screen widget with a mic button.
• 15 recording languages. English plus 14 more; non-English recordings are transcribed online, so they need internet.

Honest limitations:

• iOS/iPadOS only. No Android right now.
• The AI sometimes fills in a time you didn't say (e.g. a to-do gets 9:00 AM). That's exactly why review is on by default.
• Free plan: your 7 most recent memos, 2-minute recordings, and 7 Apple Reminders + 7 Apple Calendar saves a month. Pro (in-app purchase) removes those limits.

What I'd love feedback on:

1. Would you trust auto-save, or do you always want to review first?
2. What's the first thing you'd try to say to it?
3. Anything that would make you switch from your current capture method?

Happy to answer anything, including "why not just use Siri/Reminders" (fair question!).

A — Answer: the problem it solves

Most iPhone alarms are very easy to dismiss. If you're a heavy sleeper, tapping “Stop” or “Snooze” doesn't exactly solve the problem.

Alarmageddon is an alarm clock designed for people who have mastered the art of turning off alarms while barely awake.

Instead of simply letting you dismiss the alarm, Alarmageddon can require you to complete a wake-up mission before the alarm stops:

• Solve a math problem
• Complete a memory challenge
• Shake your phone
• Scan a QR code or barcode
• And more

The idea is simple: make turning off the alarm require enough interaction to actually wake you up.

It also includes an optional App Blocker that can temporarily block distracting apps after you wake up, so you don't immediately fall back into scrolling instead of getting out of bed.

B — Better: how it compares

vs Apple's built-in Alarm: Apple's alarm is intentionally simple: you can snooze or stop it immediately. Alarmageddon is built around the opposite idea — if you're a heavy sleeper, dismissing the alarm should require some effort.

vs other alarm apps: many alarm apps offer challenges designed to make you complete a task before dismissing the alarm. Alarmageddon takes this further by combining wake-up missions with an additional feature designed for what happens after the alarm.

The App Blocker is the extra part: after you successfully complete your alarm, Alarmageddon can temporarily block distracting apps for the first 15 minutes of your day. The goal is to prevent the familiar routine of turning off your alarm and immediately opening TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, or other distracting apps.

So it's not just about getting you out of bed — it's also about giving you a short window to actually start your day before distractions take over.

vs multiple alarms: setting five alarms doesn't necessarily help if you can turn all five off while half asleep. Alarmageddon makes dismissing the alarm itself the challenge.

vs "just put your phone far away": that can work, but it doesn't solve the problem if you eventually walk over, turn the alarm off, and go straight back to bed. Alarmageddon adds an additional barrier between you and the Stop button.

C — Cost

Alarmageddon is completely free.

I kept losing thoughts in the gap between thinking them and unlocking my phone. So the note lives in the notification shade.

Pull the shade down, type it, done. Grocery list, a reminder, a name you do not want to forget. You do not open the app.

If you write something like "milk, eggs sunday 6pm" it becomes a checklist and sets the reminder for you.

No ads. Free. Nothing to buy later. I did not want to ship something that nags you.

It is called Slip.

Hi everyone, I’m Adam, the founder of Biojrnl.
You remember something felt wrong, but not quite when. You tried a medication, but forget what changed. Then you’re at the doctor’s trying to piece it all together.

I built Biojrnl so you can write things down as they happen, add follow-ups and export a clear PDF to take to appointments.

You can also keep a separate record for your child or someone you care for, and choose what to share with a babysitter or another carer.
It works offline first. No ads, no AI reading your entries, and no selling your data.
If you give it a try, I’d love to hear what’s useful and what could be better.

Hey everyone! v1.7 is here!

For anyone who hasn't come across Tapbar yet, it's an Android app that lets you turn areas of your screen into shortcuts. You can tap, double tap, triple tap, long press, or swipe to open apps and trigger different actions without having to reach for buttons or dig through settings.

What's New in v1.7

• Swipe gestures for volume and brightness
• 10 new languages (machine-translated)
• Improved landscape handling
• Tap values to edit them directly
• Improved zone controls and customization

And seriously, thank you guys for all the support and suggestions. Tapbar started as a simple single tap zone app but you kept asking for multi tap gestures, more useful actions and more ways to customize everything. It's been really cool seeing the app grow from that original idea into what it is now. A lot of these improvements came from your feedback, and I really appreciate it.

Let me know what you think! And if you find Tapbar useful, consider giving it a star on GitHub. It really helps the project get noticed by more people. Thanks for the support!

GitHub: https://github.com/Earendel-lab/Tapbar/releases/latest
F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.earendel.tapbar/

Note: F-Droid still has v1.6 for now. v1.7 has been merged, but it'll take some time to become available there. In the meantime, you can get v1.7 from GitHub.

Tapbar is free, open-source, works offline, and has no ads or trackers.

I solved one of the most annoying problems I’d been dealing with for a long time:

Having 5 different apps just to manage my life.

One for Notes. One for To-Do. One for Events. One for Habits. One for Budgeting.

So I built Noter to put all of them in one place, while keeping everything completely offline and private.

Still improving it, but honestly, building something I personally needed has been one of the most satisfying parts of the journey.

Any feedback for the app is appreciated.

Hey guys, spent yesterday totally reworking the Google Play screenshots for my app, LinkMemo.

​#1-8 are the new ones;

#9 is the previous attempt;

#10 is the original version.

​Took the advice from here after people pointed out the previous design had weird phone tilts, was too cluttered, and hard to read (honestly worse than the original raw design).

​Just as context:

LinkMemo is a bookmark/link manager that auto-extracts content, organizes links in a visual graph view, and uses AI for quick summaries.

​Looking at the new version,

●Do you instantly get what the app does at first glance?

●Does it feel cleaner, or still confusing?

​Also curious—how often do you guys update your store screenshots?

I've been scoring myself daily in three groups: health, happiness and work. After a few weeks the pattern is hard to ignore. Work sits well above target (+2.2) and health is well below (−1.3), with happiness just under zero.

My theory is that AI tools made work goals too easy to hit. There's always one more task an agent can push forward, so the work list never runs dry and the evening walk loses every time. Nothing has made exercise or sleep any faster.

Is anyone else seeing this? And if you've fixed it, what worked: hard stop times, health tasks scheduled first, or something else?

Hi y’all — I’m a designer and traveler who believes good design can change things, even if only a little. That still feels worth making.

I kept wondering how to make something thoughtful that could reach people easily. We all already carry phones, so I started making small apps that anyone could just download and use. It began as a fun side project, but slowly became what I spend most of my spare time doing. I’ve learned a lot about coding, building, testing, and polishing along the way.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been building small, private apps around everyday human needs. No accounts, because I’m personally tired of apps asking for my phone number or making me sign up when there is no real reason to.

I kept coming back to the same thought: a lot of adult life does not need another productivity system, feed, or app trying to fix us. Sometimes we just need a quiet place to hold something, clear a little brain RAM, or keep everyday things in one simple stream.

I talked with friends, paid attention to my own habits, and started making a small family of apps around that. No accounts, social layer, or unnecessary clutter — just one simple, human purpose and a small ritual on your phone.

I currently have more apps on Google Play, and I’m slowly bringing them to the App Store too. The ones below are available on both platforms if any of this feels relatable to you.

PARKit
A place for a few short keyword clouds (w short hidden notes you can tap add) you want to hold for tomorrow, with a reminder when you choose.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkit.app

CUEit
A freeform timer for real-life moments/rituals where timing matters. Make your own cues for routines, transitions, cooking, coffee, preparation, or anything else that needs a gentle structure.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cueit-routine-timer/id6808521449

DIARYit
A quiet single-stream diary for writing what happened, without turning your life into a performance or a system to maintain. (It is prob my favorite one)

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/diaryit-diary-journal/id6808505331

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.diaryit.app

KEEPit
A private place to send yourself small thoughts as they arrive: a simple self-text stream for the things you want to keep before they disappear.

HOLDit
A private vault for the important thoughts that shouldn't be buried in the notes app so you hold it tight. Make a card, write moment in your own words, and hold your thoughts carefully.

I’m still early in this and learning a lot as I go. I’ve been building these in my spare time for the past few months, so it’s become a hobby with a lot of lessons attached to it and Im grateful for what Ive came up with and just sharing it on reddit now.

Anyway, I’d genuinely love to hear which of these feels useful, unnecessary, or like it’s missing something.

• Hey, I'm Stan
• I'm building BrightMind, an ADHD productivity app. It has task lists, connects to your calendar, and has built-in AI you can chat with and call
• How I actually use it: I call it while doing chores and just ramble. It plans my days for me
• What it does right now:
  1. Today view: tasks, calendar and routines in one timeline for the day
  2. Voice calls: talk to it like a phone call. It can also call me at a set time to plan the day
  3. Brain dump: I ramble once and each task lands in the right list with a date, so my inbox doesn't pile up
  4. Automations: it calls or messages me regularly. I use it to:
     1. Make meal and workout plans
     2. Get weekly productivity reports
     3. Remind me of something important
  5. Integrations: it has its own task list, or works with:
     1. Todoist
     2. TickTick
     3. Google Calendar
  6. Unstucking: when I'm rotting in bed, it convinces me to get out and do something, one tiny step at a time
  7. And more!
• "Perfect" is the goal, not where it is today
• It's free to try on iPhone and Android. Download: brightmind.club/download

Calendar ✅ lists ✅ meal planning and automatic shopping list? ✅ Notes ✅ budgets (periodic or split) ✅ free for 2 people forever. (There are some paid features, but not hindring).

Give it a whirl and let me know if anything missing and/or looks strange.

Most habit trackers are obsessed with 24-hour streaks. But real life doesn't happen on a perfect daily schedule. You change the AC filter, water the plants, or take irregular meds when they need it. When you try to track these non-daily tasks in a standard productivity app, you inevitably break a streak and get hit with a red ring of failure.

It creates unnecessary guilt.

I built SinceWhen to fix this. It is a guilt-free "days since" counter designed specifically for the messy, irregular maintenance of real life.

Here is how it works:

• Zero-Pressure Logging: Track what you do "now and then"—from oil changes to haircuts to household chores. No streaks, no arbitrary goals, no pressure.
• Smart Predictions: Instead of forcing a rigid schedule, the app's pattern-aware engine learns your natural rhythm. It calculates your average intervals and gently nudges you when you are actually due.
• Multi-Day Durations: Not everything is a single tap. You can track events from start to finish, like a cold, a vacation, or a highly private, bloat-free period tracker.
• Frictionless Entry: Log directly from interactive Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, or just say, "Hey Siri, log the fridge cleaning."
• 100% Private: Productivity shouldn't cost your data. There are no accounts, no logins, and zero data harvesting. Everything stays on your device and syncs via your own iCloud.

You can track your first 3 events forever, completely free (no credit card required). I would love for this community to try it out and hear your feedback!

Most of us end up with the same setup: tasks in a notes page or a todo app, a calendar for the fixed stuff, and the hope that we remember to check the list.

The usual loop:

open the todo app → tag, sort, plan → get back to work → don't look at it again until something is late.

The upkeep turns into a second job, and every extra place you put a task is one more place you have to remember to check.

So I built the thing I needed. It's called Todo Island. Open source, Windows for now (Mac is planned).

Now:

- Your priority tasks show up at the top of the screen every so often, as a Dynamic Island style notification, then tuck away. It never takes focus, so if you're typing you keep typing.

- Ctrl+` brings it up any time.

- The tasks are plain .md files, one for work and one personal. Open them in Obsidian or any editor. No account, no tags, no database to maintain.

- Adding or editing a task during work or a meeting takes a few seconds. Priority and due date are typed in the line itself: `- [ ] !! 26 Sep -- Send the report`

- Work tasks show during work hours, personal ones after.

Also:

- A Share button turns the tasks you pick into a WhatsApp message. I use it for my daily update to my team lead.

- When you share your screen or record, your tasks don't show up in the recording.

Privacy: no account, everything stays in your files, and the only network call is the update check (updates are verified by SHA-256 before they're offered).

If it fits how you work, try it. A star on GitHub helps other devs find it and contribute.

Hi all!

I am the developer of zerotap, an Android app that does things on your phone for you. For example, you say "Ask Tom on WhatsApp if he's free for a beer tonight, and if he says yes, add it to my calendar", and it writes to Tom, waits for his reply, and creates the event.

A year after the first release, I have decided to make BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) mode free, so you can use your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek or Ollama key, with no fee and no limits.

You can also turn on Jev, a fast decision model on OpenRouter, which made tasks up to 2× faster in my tests. Feedback is very welcome!

Hello everyone, i added a new features to inkwell note taking app.
