Is it possible to change our phones from a distraction into a tool that helps us become who we want to be?
I'm genuinely curious about how we can find a better relationship with technology moving forward. Phones are so present in our lives and the way they influence and relate to habits and productivity is really interesting.
In Atomic Habits, James Clear says that one of the reasons phones are so distracting is that it is a mix mash of triggers. Every time you open you're phone, you are triggered to use all of your go to apps which can be really confusing and often lead to you getting side tracked and spending a large amount of time on your phone.
After reading atomic habits, I ended up getting super sidetracked from all my goals and built an app. Would love to hear if everyone is doing this lol. My idea was that if our phone is a trigger to do a bunch of habits that we don't want to support and is a hub of habits, is it possible to make an app a trigger for the habits that we want to do and that encourages identity based thinking. A few months later after finishing Atomic habits I now have an app that let's you schedule identity based habits that function as the keys to the habits we already have on our phones, our apps.
If you were into atomic habits and are interested in helping me see if it's possible to make the phone a tool to become who we want to be rather than a distraction, let me know. My app is in test flight and I would love to find 50 real testers interested in habit science who would be interested in testing this theory with me.
I'm also curious what do you all think of the app blocking apps out their in general. Do you think it's possible to build an app on your phone that helps you be more present in real life or do you just have to quit all together?
[Self-Promotion] PenDate Notes is now live on the App Store: calendar-first notes for iPhone and iPad
PenDate Notes is now live on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
I built it around one problem: notes are useful when you write them, but they often disappear by the day you actually need them.
PenDate takes a calendar-first approach. Pick a date, then keep the relevant notes, checklists, reminders, handwriting/canvas notes, PDFs, and planning context around that day.
It is meant for people who plan around dates: appointments, study days, errands, shopping lists, client follow-ups, weekly planning, and reminders that need more context than a short notification.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/pendate-notes/id6765719360
Android is also live on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pendate.notes
I would appreciate feedback from iPhone/iPad users: does calendar-first note-taking solve a real problem for you, or do you prefer keeping notes and calendar separate?

Looking for Testers: StockIntel — AI Stock Insights & Market Analysis App (iOS TestFlight)
I accidentally built a stock market app and now I need testers 👀
Built a weirdly useful little app called StockIntel, and I’m looking for a few humans willing to break it before I let it out into the wild
It does things like:
• AI-powered stock insights
• Market trend analysis
• Watchlists + alerts
• Investing education without sounding like a finance bro YouTube ad
What I’m looking for:
Honest feedback on:
• What feels confusing
• What’s slow
• What crashes
• What you’d never use
• What actually feels useful
TestFlight link:

Appreciate anyone willing to poke around and roast the UX a little
Hi everyone,
We’re building an early-stage AI app called Thimin (short for Thriving Minds), and honestly, I’m not fully convinced we’ve made something genuinely valuable yet.
The idea is pretty simple. It’s a voice-based AI you can talk to openly, without feeling judged.
Not a productivity tool, not a therapist replacement, just a space where you can think out loud, vent, and hopefully get some clarity.
A big reason behind this is that a lot of people don’t talk, not because they don’t need to, but because they don’t feel comfortable opening up to someone else. We thought maybe AI could help in that gap.
So we built an MVP.
Right now, it’s basically just talk, reflect, and see if it actually helps.
I don’t know if it truly works in a meaningful way yet, and don’t want to assume it does.
That’s why I’m here.
I’m looking for people who can actually use it, not to try it for 30 seconds, but have a conversation with it, and give some honest feedback in the comments.
I’d really love to know:
- Did it feel helpful or just gimmicky?
- Did you feel even slightly more clear after using it?
- At any point did it feel real or useful?
- What felt missing or frustrating?
If you’re open to trying it:
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.thimin.prod&hl=en
Even if your feedback is blunt or harsh, that’s exactly what I need right now.
Just trying to figure out if this is something worth pushing forward or if we need to rethink it.
Really appreciate it 🙏

[Android] Need 12 Testers for "Msho's Block Blast" - Happy to test back
Msho is a character that my daughter invented. She is a big fan of similar style games, so our first POC game (I have dev experience but in a whole different world, so Android/Unity/Game Dev is new to me. She is only 11 so did intro stuff at school and really liked it)
Msho has a whole bunch of lore behind him that she (and I) have made up over the years. The main one is that he is useless at everything. He has no idea on how things work and is clueless and not very smart.
He is from another universe and whilst trying to get some money he "messed about with a science experiment". the lore goes that this created our universe, and he has just been getting into strange situations for the past 13 billion years.

Self improvement tool based on 7 deadly sins
Hey everyone,
i’ve always struggled with those generic "habit tracker" apps. They felt too soft, and let’s be honest it’s way too easy to just click a checkbox and lie to yourself.
So I built 7DS (Seven Deadly Sins).
It’s a hardcore progression gauntlet designed for people who want to actually face their weaknesses head-on.
How it works:
- The Framework: 70 challenges mapped across the 7 Deadly Sins (Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth).
- The Catch: You can’t just "click done." You have to submit proof (text or photos) for every single challenge.
- AI Verification: I integrated Google’s Gemini AI to analyze your proof in real-time. It detects AI-generated cheating, checks for genuine effort, and gives you a "Discipline Score."
- Zero Shortcuts: Challenges are sequential. You have to conquer Sloth Level 1 to even see Level 2.
The Aesthetic: I went with a dark, brutalist design because self-discipline isn't pretty, it's a battle.
I’m looking for some "Slayers" to test it out and see if the challenges are actually as tough as I think they are.
Check it out here: https://7ds-challenge.vercel.app/
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the AI verification or any "Sin" challenges you think I should add!

Why don’t people take me seriously
I’m trying to figure out why people aren’t taking me and my app seriously yet.
I’m building Stivvy, a finance learning app that uses daily games to make investing easier to understand for beginners. I know I’m still early, but I’m not just throwing together a random side project. I’m trying to solve a real problem: most people my age know they should understand money and investing, but the way it’s usually taught is boring, confusing, or too intimidating to start.
Maybe it’s because I’m young, maybe it’s because the app is still rough, or maybe I haven’t explained the value clearly enough yet. But I’d rather get honest feedback now than fake support. What would make you take an app like this seriously?
Built a budgeting app because I kept bleeding money without realizing it. Got 100 promo codes for anyone willing to give real feedback.
Hey everyone,
I'm a solo dev from Sri Lanka. I built this app because I used to check my bank account at the end of the month and genuinely have no idea where my money went. It was never the big purchases. It was just a constant stream of slow leaks that I couldn't see until it was too late.
So I made Wizpend. It started out as a tool just for myself to stop the bleeding.
The main feature I actually care about is the proactive alerts. I wanted warnings before blowing a budget, not after the damage was already done. Getting a notification saying, "You're 80% through your food budget with 12 days left" hits completely differently than looking at a sad end-of-month number. That one feature genuinely changed how I spend.
A few other things I use day-to-day that I ended up building in:
- A bill tracker with reminders: It pings me 1 to 2 days before a bill is due, mostly because I was constantly forgetting small recurring subscriptions.
- A spending heatmap: It’s a calendar view that shows your daily spending intensity. Seeing it visually made me realize exactly how much money I was throwing away specifically on weekends.
- Smart insights: It automatically flags when a specific category is suddenly way higher than your usual average.
- Shared budgets: In case you manage finances with a partner.
- Gamified challenges: It sounds a bit gimmicky, but treating my savings goals like a game actually got me to log things consistently.
It also works fully offline, home screen widgets, and lets you import and export everything to Excel.
I've been using it for about a year now. My savings rate has definitely improved. It's not a massive, life altering change, but the progress is real. Now, I want to know if the app holds up for people with different habits, different currencies, and different ways of thinking about money.
I have 100 promo codes for 3 months of premium. I'm really not trying to hard-sell anyone here. I just need people who will actually use it and hit me up with completely honest feedback. Tell me what's broken, what's confusing, or what's missing. I want all of it.
Drop a comment or send me a DM if you want a code. First 100 get them.
You can find Wizpend on both iOS and Android.
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wizpend-budget-expense/id6756580507
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Nyfronix.Wizpend
Fair warning: The free tier has ads, premium is a subscription, and it is manual entry only with no bank connections. I'm a solo dev and I didn't want to touch that level of sensitive financial data.
Looking for beta testers for Nexus research, an AI model that generates on your behalf.

Feedback from this beta will directly shape Beta v2. Comment if you're interested but directly emailing us here would be best.
Hey everyone,
I’ve been building WakeAI for the past few months — a behavioural operating system for iOS that learns how you actually live and adapts to you automatically.
Most apps wait for you to tell them what to do. WakeAI doesn’t.
Here’s what it does right now:
• Learns your sleep patterns and suggests wake times based on your actual habits
• You tell it “dentist appointment at 2pm at 45 High Street” and it creates the calendar event, calculates travel time, and alerts you when to leave
• Upload a photo or PDF of a schedule or letter and it extracts all your appointments automatically
• Shows you a daily dashboard with your sleep, steps, location and upcoming events in one place
• Gets smarter the more you use it — the behavioural engine builds a profile of your patterns over time
It’s free to try on TestFlight right now:
👉 https://testflight.apple.com/join/UJPBqHQa
Would love honest feedback — what works, what doesn’t, what you’d want it to do that it doesn’t yet. Building this solo so every piece of feedback genuinely shapes what gets built next.
Happy to answer any questions.
Made my first app and need testers for it - A gaming Backlog Tracker and companion app :D
Hey everyone 😄 I've spent the last few months building my first Android app and I'm finally at the stage where I need real people to try it out before I can launch properly on the Play Store.
It's called Backlog Hero — basically it's for anyone who has way too many games and no idea what to play next 😅
You can search and add games from pretty much any platform or era, track what you're playing, what's sitting in your backlog, what you've completed, scan physical game barcodes, filter by platform, rate your games — all that good stuff.
To join all I need is:
- Your Gmail address (DM me or drop it below)
- A real Android device
- To actually use it for a couple of weeks and let me know if anything feels off
Would really appreciate the help and happy to test others 😄 🙏🎮
