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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

As a personal project, I’ve been working on a forum/message board app and website that is intended to stop bot and A.I. traffic. It’s still fairly elementary (cloudflare, client side telemetry, RLS only) but I’ve submitted it to be released on the App Store as just a next step so I can implement push notifications and have it be functional for me and a couple close friends. That’s just backstory though. What I want to know is how long will I have to wait???? It’s been close to four days when the estimated wait is supposed to be 24-48 hours. I thought I provided all the necessary information, and I’m just feeling really eager to get it done so I won’t have to resubmit a build with such a long wait each time I want to update it. Are there any common pitfalls in submissions that make them take longer? Does Apple only review submissions on week days? Am I just being impatient? Is there a minimum level of professionalism and completeness expected for it to be successful and if so do I meet that threshold?

This is the web page for reference, the app is a capacitor web wrapper essentially.

P.S if anyone has any suggestions or information on more sophisticated bot detection, or what fields I should be researching to refine my security into something passable please let me know here or on the subreddit I created for this project r/TuringsGate

I wanted a very simple place to save the links I actually intend to revisit — without creating another account or sending my browsing data to a cloud service.

So I built Kept, a small link library for iPhone and iPad.

You can:

• Save a URL with a short note
• Search by title, URL, or note
• Mark links as favorites
• Copy or open them quickly
• Group related links from the same domain
• Swipe left to delete
• Import bookmarks and export a local backup
• Use light or dark mode

Everything is stored locally on the device. There’s no account, cloud sync, analytics, or tracking.

Kept is now available on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/ro/app/kept-private-link-library/id6809417882

I’d love some honest feedback, especially about the saving flow and whether swipe-to-delete feels discoverable enough. What would you add without turning it into an overly complicated bookmark manager?
