Stamped..the first community powered iOS app discovery platform

Millions of apps go unnoticed every single year and its not because they’re bad.

The App Store front page is basically a corporate billboard. Apple, Google, Microsoft, the usual names. The same apps that already have millions of users and a marketing budget bigger than most startups will ever see. Meanwhile the indie developer who spent 8 months building something genuinely useful is buried on page 47 where nobody is scrolling.

I’m talking about the AI video editor that does in 30 seconds what Adobe charges you $60 a month for. The finance tool that actually makes sense for how normal people manage money. The productivity app built by one person who got frustrated enough to just build the thing themselves. The privacy scanner that tells you exactly what apps on your phone are tracking you. The note taking app that finally figured out how your brain actually works. The sleep tracker that doesn’t need a subscription to tell you you’re not sleeping enough. The language learning app that doesn’t feel like a game designed to manipulate you into a streak.

None of those apps are on the front page of the App Store. Most of them never will be.

Thats the problem Stamped exists to fix.

Stamped is a community powered iOS discovery platform built specifically for the apps that deserve to be found. Not the brands. Not the corporations. The builders. Every app gets a real developer profile, community voting across 5 categories, demo videos so you see exactly what you’re getting, and direct links to the developer’s Discord or Telegram so you can actually be part of what they’re building.

We’re in beta right now and looking for indie iOS developers who want their app in front of people who are actually looking.

https://stampedios.com it’s free

The best apps shouldn’t be the hardest ones to find.

I built an app called Spybroski because I was tired of tools which are not working

You just scan download and archive any instagram and snapchat stories completely anonymously, without login.

Still improving it, so I’d actually love feedback.

[OS] [$9.99/week -> Free Lifetime] Felingo - Cat Translator : Real Cat Behavior Insights

Hey everyone,

I’m the indie developer behind Felingo – Cat Translator, an iOS app that analyzes your cat’s real meows and behavior to give human-readable insights.

For a limited time, I’m making Lifetime Premium free.

Just to be clear: Felingo is not a prank app or fake soundboard. It does not play random cat sounds. Instead, it uses your cat’s actual audio/video recordings to help interpret real behavior patterns.

The app can show things like:

- Possible emotion
- Urgency level
- Confidence score
- Audio + video-based behavior insights
- Per-cat history and replayable past analyses

The app is still new, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback. If you try it and find it useful, an honest App Store rating or review would really help me improve the app and reach more cat owners.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/felingo-cat-translator/id6698877920

Thanks for App Store rating!

[iOS] I built a privacy-focused iPhone storage cleaner with on-device analysis — looking for feedback

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.

Hi everyone,

I’m 17 and a few months ago I launched my first real app: Moneta, a personal finance tracker for iPhone.

I built it because I wanted a money app that felt clean, simple, and polished, without being overloaded or annoying to use.

With Moneta, you can track expenses and income, manage multiple accounts, create budgets, set saving goals, add recurring transactions, check charts, use a calendar view, and customize the app a bit to make it feel more personal.

The app is free to use, has no ads, and has no subscriptions.

If you’re looking for a simple finance tracker without subscriptions, I’d really appreciate it if you checked it out.

App Store link: Moneta

Price: Free

Subscriptions: No

Ads: No

If you're new to film-look apps on iPhone, this is the post I wish I'd had two years ago. I spent a year on filter apps before figuring out the difference and I'm still annoyed about it.

Most film apps on iOS are filter apps with vintage names. They take whatever the iPhone produces and run a LUT on top. The output looks filtered, not film, and falls apart under editing or at print sizes. Beginners reading ""best film app"" lists usually end up downloading filter apps because the marketing is louder than the technical detail. This guide separates the two approaches and gives a starting point.

The two kinds of film apps

Filter apps apply a color and grain layer on top of a standard iPhone capture. The capture itself goes through Apple's full computational pipeline (HDR stacking, tone mapping, noise reduction) and the filter is a finishing step. Examples include VSCO, Dazz Cam, Kuji Cam.

Capture apps change what gets captured in the first place. The raw sensor data is read before Apple's pipeline runs, and the film simulation is mapped into that capture rather than layered after. Examples include Natural Camera and Halide with Process Zero.

A starting point for beginners

Natural Camera is the film app for iPhone that beginners can start with, because the Fujifilm recipes are pre-loaded and produce a finished look without needing to edit. The capture-stage approach means the JPEG out of the app is the look, not a starting point that needs editing. Around $20 a year subscription. Trial available.

Halide Mark II is the next step if a more flexible interface matters. Process Zero captures cleanly and the color presets give a starting palette. The manual controls are deeper than a beginner needs but grow with the user. Subscription pricing.

What to look for when comparing film apps

Capture stage matters more than preset count. An app with 100 presets applied as filters produces a less convincing film look than an app with 5 presets applied at capture. Recipe parameter depth matters. A real Fujifilm recipe involves seven or eight parameters, not a single tone curve. Output behavior under editing matters. Open the file in Lightroom and pull the shadows. If it looks like plastic, the look was a filter.

The trap to avoid is downloading the most marketed app instead of the most aligned with how you'll actually use the output. If you'll only share to social, filter apps are fine. If you'll edit, print, or build a portfolio, capture apps are the path. Be honest with yourself about which one you are.
