It’s called Piko Chat on iOS! You can write letters for the public, reply to the public, make friends and even use the themed chat rooms to talk about anything! I also want to make this clear to any mods, I am NOT SELLING ANYTHING! If you want to plz use my friend code, GREENDH8C3. There is a premium subscription for some features, but you can chat and do a lot of stuff without it!

Hi everyone,

I'm a product manager from the aviation industry, not a software engineer. In my previous work, I collaborated with development teams on aviation products, but I'd never written code myself.

When AI became capable enough, one question kept coming back to me:

Could someone with no coding experience actually turn an idea into a real app with AI?

So I decided to find out.

That experiment eventually became WideNote, a small AI note app that's now available on the App Store.

Why this exists

This wasn't inspired by some ambitious startup vision.

It started with becoming a dad.

My wife and I spent the last couple of years preparing to welcome our daughter into the world. During that time, life became filled with countless little things to remember: prenatal checkup records, hospital paperwork, vaccination schedules, feeding logs, shopping lists, reminders from family members, receipts, photos, and random thoughts that showed up at two in the morning.

Everything felt scattered.

I realized I didn't need another productivity tool. I wanted something that could act more like a personal assistant—or maybe a curator for life's information. Somewhere I could casually tell it anything worth remembering, whenever it came to mind, without worrying about folders, tags, or organization. I just wanted to capture things naturally and let the AI take care of the rest.

That's the idea behind WideNote.

One thing I'd like to emphasize: I don't recommend using it for work. It wasn't designed for that, and I intentionally avoided turning it into another productivity app. There are already plenty of excellent tools for professional workflows.

Instead, I wanted this to feel like a companion for everyday life—a place for the little moments, memories, and pieces of information that don't belong in spreadsheets or project management software, but still deserve to be remembered.

Before this project, I'd never written a single line of code.

I'm genuinely curious whether this idea resonates with other people, so I'd love to hear any voice—positive or negative. The product is still very early, and every comment will help shape where it goes next.

P.S. It's completely free right now. No ads, no subscription, and you don't even need to create an account. Just download it and start using it. Right now, it's only available on iOS.

If you decide to give it a try, I'd really love to hear what you think—whether it's about the concept, the experience, or how the AI performs.

I'll be here reading every comment. Thank you for helping make WideNote better.

Thanks for reading. ❤️

Hi Reddit,

I'm an independent developer and Computer Science student, and I'm excited to share my latest passion project with you: Keep Up! – Habit Tracker (iOS).

Unlike regular reminder apps, Keep Up! helps you actually stick to your goals by turning habit-building into a game: streaks, badges, a level & rank system, and smart reminder notifications.

✨ Key Features:

• 🔥 Streaks with Safety Nets: Build daily streaks — and protect them with streak freezes, a "Rescue Yesterday" option, and a vacation mode, so one bad day doesn't wipe out your progress.
• 🏅 Badges & Levels: 30+ badges to unlock and a level system with ranks (from Rookie all the way to Immortal) that grows with your consistency.
• 🎨 Stunning Widgets: Beautiful small, medium, and large home screen widgets — plus lock screen widgets and an interactive widget that lets you complete habits without even opening the app.
• 🔒 100% Offline & Private: Zero registration, zero cloud sync, zero ads, zero trackers. Your data stays strictly on your device.
• ❤️ Apple Health Integration: Link habits like steps, exercise, or water to Apple Health and they get completed automatically.

(Psst... As an indie dev, I don't have a marketing budget. If you like the app, sharing your honest on the App Store or helping this post get some visibility (upvotes) would honestly mean the world to me and help me keep updating it. Thank you so much for supporting indie creators! ❤️)

I no longer own an iphone but still getting monthly charges for apps an storage. Tried to log into my old Apple account, but apparently have forgotten my login info.

hablo de alguna app que pueda darme consejos o ayudarme a resolver ciertos problemas emocionales, nada grave sino como manejar estrés o cosas así

Pretty sure I’m not the only one who does this.

I’ll come across a reel about some place I want to visit, or a video with a solid packing list, or a good article about a trip — and I save it thinking “this’ll come in handy.” Then when I actually need it? Nothing. I end up scrolling through saved posts, screenshots, and messages I sent myself on WhatsApp, and eventually give up and just Google it from scratch again 😪

So I finally got fed up and built a little app for myself to fix it.

The idea is simple: save anything — a link, an article, a story, from any app — and it all lands in one place. When you want to find something, you don’t need to remember where you saved it or what it was called. You just open a chat and type any word that reminds you of it, even a rough description, and it pulls it up.

It’s called LifeFeed AI. Turned out pretty handy for me, so I figured I’d share it.

Save from anywhere, find it anywhere. Share from any app and it all lands in one spot, then the AI sorts it out for you. Search like you’d talk — “that pasta recipe” — and it pulls it right up.

And it’s with you everywhere: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, plus Chrome and Safari.

Does anyone actually like Bark? I signed up because it was on basically every best parental control app list, but after using it for a few months, I just don't get the hype. It feels like a ton of features I never asked for, and the constant alerts get annoying pretty quickly. I'm paying for a lot of stuff I don't really use. I've been checking out a few Bark alternatives like HeyPolo, Life360, and even just sticking with Find My, but it's hard to tell what's genuinely good versus what's being pushed by marketing. At this point, all I really want is reliable location sharing, arrival notifications, and to know my kids made it where they're supposed to. I have zero interest in reading their texts or monitoring every social media app. For anyone who's been down this road, what apps have actually worked well for you?

Hello, I would like to develop an app that finds public swimming pools with their opening hours anywhere in the world. For example, if I am on vacation in London, Berlin, or Milan and I want to keep my training routine, I need to find a pool. Currently, I have to do extensive searches on many websites: city sports listings, individual pool websites, or public–private foundations… And ultimately, I still have to check each pool one by one to see if there are temporary closures. So I would like to build an app that can do all (in multiple langauges) of this automatically and show the pools on a map. But I don’t have any knowledge in coding or anything related. How can I do that?

As a parent, after every vacation I ended up with dozens of short videos and photos of our time together - but never actually did anything with them.
I wanted a simple tool that could merge the clips into one longer video, add text and music, and create a slideshow from photos. So built one.
It’s called Merge Videos – Video Editor:

I’d genuinely appreciate any comments from other parents who also have thousands of family photos and clips sitting on their phones.

Sharing NoSpoil - a food expiry tracker for iPhone.

How it works: scan a barcode when you unpack groceries (or just photograph loose produce/leftovers - AI recognition handles anything without a barcode), set an expiry date, get notified before it goes bad. There's also a home screen widget so you can see what's expiring without opening the app at all.

Bonus features: recipe suggestions based on what's about to expire, nutrition info for scanned products, and a savings tracker showing how much money you're not wasting anymore.

Free to download, works in 9 languages, syncs across devices via iCloud.

Would love for iPhone users here to give it a try and let me know what you think - especially if you've got similar apps you already use and think NoSpoil is missing something obvious.

Hey folks,

Had some fun building a life force inspired space shooter for those grey beards like me who remember that NES classic.

Added a few features to encourage replay (after sector 25 in a run you can unlock permanent upgrades to your ship). I’m thinking of adding more sector variables (different special enemy attacks, maybe new ship unlocks).

I’ve also on purpose kept ads super light - banner at bottom and full every 10 stages. Not really looking to break even more just curious about app/admod integration.

Any input from this community on new features etc? Even if it never gains any traction it’s been fun to build.

I am on several different sites, FB, Insta, X, etc. I save videos, articles, and memes. But when I need to find them again, I don’t remember which platform they are saved on. Is there an app where a person can save all articles, videos, etc to one place? I can’t find on on the App Store, but it seems as this this app have to be out there somewhere.

I have a history with eating disorders and I don’t want to risk falling back into it if I track my calories. Is there a nutrition tracker that tells me what’s in my food and how much of it, adds all the nutrients up by day, and has all those kinds of features a calorie tracker does without the calories?

I am constantly in need of an app for just basic photo/image manipulation tasks: cropping, resizing, perspective correction, joining/stitching, etc. I’ve been unable to find anything worthwhile and reasonably priced that can do these very basic functions.

I don’t need: cloud storage, advanced stuff like color correction or cataloguing, AI generation, AI edits, or anything claiming to be “automatic”.

It just doesn’t seem possible that tools which were available in MacPaint in 1984 STILL don’t exist on my iPhone 17 somewhere, somehow.

All suggestions are appreciated. TIA.

For me it's Notes, hands down. It started as a place to jot quick things and slowly became where half my life lives, i even built some solid systems in there for travel planning, workouts, health, recipes, expense tracking, all of it.

What's the one you keep coming back to?

so i create content mostly on my phone and i've been trying to find a solid free photo editing app that doesn't watermark everything or lock the good features behind a paywall after two uses.

i've tried a few options but most of them either have a really limited free tier or the interface is so complicated that it slows down my workflow more than it helps. i mostly need basic adjustments, background removal, and something that handles text overlays cleanly for social media posts.

i've heard some of the newer apps have added ai features that speed things up a lot but i can't tell which ones are actually useful versus just a gimmick. does anyone have a go to free photo editing app they use regularly for content and actually stuck with it long term?

مرحبًا، ما أفضل تطبيق على الآيفون اشتريته بدفعة واحدة (شراء دائم) وتوصي به؟

Hi, what’s the best iPhone app you’ve purchased with a one-time payment that you’d recommend?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently learning to build apps but my most recent ones haven't gotten many users, so i started asking myself if I was really building something that people actually needed.

So tell me, what is an app you wish existed?

Just upgraded to the iPhone 17 Pro recently and have been trying to keep my home screen as minimal as possible.

Halide. Easily my favorite camera app. Gives you full manual controls, RAW shooting, and makes the iPhone camera even more capable.

BeautyPlus. Great for quick selfies and casual edits. Easy touch-ups, lighting fixes, and AI tools that make photos look polished in seconds.

Bear. Beautiful note-taking app with a clean interface. Perfect for keeping ideas, lists, and drafts organized.

Parcel. Tracks all my deliveries in one place. Super clean interface with reliable shipping updates.

Photomator. Powerful photo editor that feels right at home on iOS. Great for color correction and quick edits without opening Lightroom.

MusicHarbor. Keeps track of new album releases from artists you follow. One of those apps you never knew you needed.

Raindrop.io. The best bookmark manager I've used. Saves articles, videos, and websites across all my devices.

What are your go-to apps?

Most people set a reminder for the time something's due and that's it. But Reminders has an early reminder option that fires a separate heads-up ahead of the actual due time, and it goes weirdly overlooked.

The way it works: you set your normal due date and time, then you can also tell it to warn you 1 hour before, a day before, a week before, whatever you pick. So a reminder due friday at 5pm can nudge you wednesday morning that it's coming, and then still fire the real alert friday at 5. Two-stage, from a single reminder.

You get to it by tapping the reminder, hitting the info button, and choosing early reminder under the date and time.

Where it actually earns its place is anything with a hard deadline you need lead time for. A bill due friday warns you wednesday so you're not scrambling. A birthday pings you a week out so you actually have time to buy something. It saves you from building two separate reminders and babysitting both.

The one thing to know is the early reminder is tied to a reminder that already has a date set.

Anyone here leaning on early reminders for a specific routine, or found a use for it I'm not thinking of?

Hey everyone,

I’m an iOS developer with about 2 years of experience, and lately, with the forced push of AI into everyday development workflows, I started missing the feeling of just building something myself through regular coding.

So I decided to make something I would personally use. In most similar apps I’ve tried, the main screen is usually focused on what’s trending or popular right now. I wanted Seenbox to be more useful in everyday tracking, so the Home screen shows what’s coming soon, what’s already available, and what you can mark as watched.

App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/seenbox-tv-movie-tracker/id6785312715

A few things about the app:
- completely free
- no ads
- no account required
- no data collection
- iCloud sync across devices
- built for TV & movie fans who want something simple and clean

Seenbox is still pretty simple in v1.0. Widgets, notifications, more detailed stats, and further UI/UX polish aren’t there yet, but they’re all planned for future updates. I didn’t want to get stuck in an endless cycle of improving the app before releasing it. 

I’m a big TV & movie fan myself, so I’m building this as something I genuinely want to keep improving.

Ask me anything, report bugs, or suggest new features. I’m happy to answer every question, and if I end up implementing your idea, I’ll personally let you know! :)

Thanks for checking it out.
