Hi everyone, I'm the solo developer of HydroLog, an iOS and watchOS app that helps you stay properly hydrated every day — with goals that actually adapt to your life.

What it does:

• Dynamic Hydration Goals: Your daily goal adjusts automatically based on real-time weather conditions and your activity level using WeatherKit. Hot day? Hard workout? HydroLog recalculates so you're never under or over your target.
• 60+ Drink Types: Log water, coffee, juice, sports drinks, and more across 14 categories. The app tracks effective hydration — not just raw volume — so a cup of coffee counts differently than a glass of water.
• Apple Watch Support: Full companion app with a three-tab layout for checking your ring, viewing your 7-day history, and logging intake directly from your wrist. Works offline and syncs automatically. Complications included.
• HealthKit Integration: Your hydration data stays connected to the Apple Health ecosystem.
• Smart Notifications: A retention and reminder system that keeps you on track throughout the day without being annoying.
• Progress Ring & Weekly Chart: Visual feedback at a glance on both iPhone and Apple Watch.
• Languages: English and Portuguese (Brazil)
• Still building this solo — more drink types, deeper insights, and new features are on the way.
• Free to download. Premium unlocks the full experience, including dynamic goals, all drink categories, and Watch features.

Monthly - $1.99

Annual - $12.99

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/hydrolog/id6757146528

I'd love feedback from anyone who gives it a try — especially if you have ideas for features you'd want to see. Leaving a review on the App Store also helps a lot.

Thanks for reading, and stay hydrated!

As an introvert, I'd been looking to answer a question I kept running into: what actually drains my energy, and what restores it?

Social Battery: Introvert App is for tracking the energy impact of social plans, work, errands, family time, workouts, etc. Instead of general mood journaling, it focuses on logging activities and seeing your personal energy patterns over time.

Compared with Daylio or other mood trackers, this is more focused and lower-friction for this specific problem:

• track energy instead of just mood
• log activities quickly
• spot draining vs energizing patterns
• manually correct categories
• premium users can add custom categories

(new)

• share a visual Social Battery card

(new)

Freemium

• Free download
• No subscription

• One-time IAP $6.99 for Premium

Social Battery: Introvert App on the iOS App Store

My last post got quite a few responses with great recommendations, so I thought I would do another. What are some apps you find useful or just really like? Here’s some more of mine.

Stash Anything a fairly new app that you can quickly save stuff via share sheet to any folder (either pre installed or created), it’s currently a onetime payment and is one of my favorite new apps.

Just Did is a when did I last do something app to keep track of things. It’s free to use for personal use, has a task pro $2.99 option for cosmetic changes and a spaces feature for sharing between multiple people (members) available for monthly or yearly subscription or a onetime lifetime option.

Speech Central Voice Reader is an app that does text to speech like web pages and more offers CarPlay support so you can listen on the go, and is free to try with a limit set on number of articles and a onetime payment to remove the limit.

Wheneri is a simple tracker for chores and routines so you never forget when it’s time again. The app is currently free and is very easy to use.

My first app and second app took three months to release, and my third and fourth app (which I released today) took less than two weeks. Learned to ship quickly by setting up

I made WhoPaid for freelancers, contractors, home-service workers, and anyone doing client jobs where the payment part gets messy after the work is done.

The problem I kept seeing was not “how do I create a full accounting system?”

It was smaller and more annoying:

- client says “I’ll send it later”

- someone pays half

- payment status is buried in WhatsApp or notes

- you forget who still owes you

- your weekly earnings become mental math

WhoPaid keeps each job simple: client, job, amount, date, paid / unpaid / partial, and what still needs follow-up.

It also has daily/monthly reports, multiple currencies, multiple languages, local records before signing in, and optional Sign in with Apple backup/sync.

It is free.

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/my/app/whopaid-job-pay-tracker/id6764868229

I’d really like feedback from people who do freelance or small client jobs: does the first screen explain the value fast enough, or should the unpaid / follow-up side be shown more directly?

A – Answer: What problem does it solve?

I built ShotMark because screenshots pile up fast, and it becomes almost impossible to find anything later.

Most of us screenshot things to remember them — receipts, conversations, ideas, product info, meaningful moments — but they just sit in Photos with no context and no clean way to organise them.

ShotMark turns screenshots into simple, useful cards:

• Add notes
• Search them later
• Extract and copy text with OCR
• Export clean shareable cards
• Organise with folders
• Now in v1.3: sync your library across iPhone and iPad with iCloud

B – Better: Why is it better than alternatives?

Compared to using Photos, Notes, or general note apps:

• Screenshots are treated as first-class content, not just attachments
• OCR is built in, so text inside screenshots can be detected and copied
• Pro users can search directly through OCR text
• Clean export cards, without noisy templates or overdesign
• Fast capture flow through the share extension
• No login, no account, no server upload — your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud
• Still focused and lightweight, instead of becoming a bloated “everything app”

This update, v1.3, adds:

• iCloud Sync between iPhone and iPad
• Chinese localisation support
• OCR access refined: detected text remains available to everyone, while OCR search is part of Pro
• Pricing updated to reflect the larger feature set and ongoing maintenance

A lot of users asked for iCloud Sync after my previous posts, so I made it the main focus of this update. It is now live.

C – Cost: Pricing + link

• App: Free to download
• Up to 12 saved cards
• OCR text detection and viewing
• Export cards available with a subtle watermark

Pro — lifetime, one-time purchase: $1.99

• Unlimited saved cards
• OCR text search
• Watermark-free export
• iCloud Sync

App Store:
ShotMark on the App Store

Also, thank you to everyone who supported ShotMark so far.

In roughly the first month, the app reached:

• 369 downloads
• 120 Pro unlocks

That support gave me the confidence to keep pushing the app further instead of leaving it as a small side project.

The most requested feature from the last post was iCloud Sync, and it is now available in v1.3.

A native Mac version is also under development. I currently expect to release it after WWDC 2026, once I finish aligning the desktop workflow properly instead of rushing out a weak port.

Open to feedback, especially from people who already tried v1.2 and wanted sync.

Hi r/iOSApps, I'm the developer of Fix My Treadmill, a small iPhone app for one very specific Apple Watch problem: treadmill runs and walks where the watch record the wrong distance.

Answer

If the treadmill says 5.0 km but Apple Watch saves 4.6 km, the app lets you pick the Indoor Run or Indoor Walk from Apple Health, enter the real treadmill distance, and save a corrected copy back to Apple Health.

It recalculates the distance-related parts of the workout so pace, splits, mileage, and totals are closer to what actually happend.

Better

The app is meant to be boring in the good way:

• no account
• no ads
• no cloud sync
• health data stays on device unless you explicitly choose to share diagnostics
• corrected workouts are saved as copies, so you can review before cleaning up the original in Fitness

I built it because treadmill runs were throwing off weekly mileage, yearly totals, and pace history, and I wanted a focused utility rather than a full fitness platform.

Cost

The app includes 3 free fixes. Unlimited fixes are a $6.99 one-time unlock in the U.S. App Store, not a subscription. Prices are localized by Apple in other countries.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758863304

I'd love feedback from anyone who runs or walks indoors with Apple Watch, especially around whether the correction flow feels clear enough before saving.

Most photo apps feel too overprocessed to me, so I built Retro Cam Neo.

A - Answer:
I wanted something closer to old compact cameras and film photography instead of aggressive social-media-style filters.

B - Better:
Retro Cam Neo focuses on softer tones, subtle grain, cinematic mood, and more natural-looking photos instead of heavy processing.

C - Cost:
The app currently has a free lifetime unlock available for a limited time.

Would genuinely love feedback from people here.

A — Answer

I built Network Tools AI because I wanted a single iPhone app for real-time network monitoring, diagnostics, and website/domain security tools without needing 6 different apps.

The app includes:

• Live Network Monitor + Live Activities

• NetMap Logger™ (visual Wi-Fi/Cellular history)

• LAN AI Discovery (device/network scanning)

• SSLGuard™ + DomainGuard™

• Secure Browser with security/privacy controls

• Speed testing + network diagnostics

• Export tools (CSV/XLSX/TXT)

B — Better

Most networking apps on iOS focus on only one area (speed tests, ping tools, Wi-Fi analysis, etc.).

I wanted something that combines:

• real-time monitoring

• security tools

• connection history

• LAN discovery

• diagnostics

• website/domain monitoring

…inside one consistent UI designed specifically for iPhone.

I also focused heavily on:

• no account/login required

• Live Activities + Apple Watch support

• modern UI/visualizations

• practical everyday monitoring instead of “enterprise-only” features

C — Cost

Free download with optional premium features.

Premium options:

• Lifetime Premium

• Network Security Pack subscription

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/bg/app/network-tools-ai/id6444090484

Would genuinely love feedback from other iOS users/devs on the direction and UI.

A — Answer: Social Archiver helps you save social posts(+Web articles) you do not want to lose. From the iOS Share Sheet, you can archive posts from Reddit, YouTube, X, Tiktok, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and LinkedIn, then browse them later with media, comments, authors, tags, and search.

B — Better: Compared with Raindrop.io, Social Archiver goes beyond simple bookmarking or archiving. Archiving process happen through Share sheet which will immediately close after saving trigger (even no need to open the app right away)

It gives you readable views like a timeline and post detail pages, lets you organize saved content with tags and author pages, and makes archived posts easy to share again when you want to reference them. It also provides Chrome extension where you can import your saved Reddit, Instagram posts.

App also provides integration with Obsidian, Notion, Karakeep, Reader where you can basically send archived data automatically to your favorite archive services.

C — Cost: Free plan includes 10(+ 5-20 for initial onboarding process) successful archives per month. Optional IAP: Premium Monthly $2.99/mo, Premium Annual $23.99/yr, and Lifetime $49.99 one-time. Final regional pricing is shown in the App Store before purchase. It is launch price and will change 1-2 weeks.

I haven't seen any new app store analytics data since May 1. I updated screenshots and added new features. However, the data hasn't been updated for 3/4 days now.

Is anyone else facing similar issues?

Hey r/iOSApps 👋

We released one of the biggest updates since launching the app.

This update took months of rebuilding core parts of the app focused on privacy, performance, and a much more native iPhone & iPad experience.

A — What problem does the app solve?

A lot of people want to keep private photos, videos or personal memories away from cloud services and hidden from casual access on their phone & iPad.

Most users I talked to specifically wanted:

• fully offline storage
• no accounts
• no forced cloud sync
• stronger privacy controls
• faster media handling
• easier organization

So the app is designed as a completely offline private vault for iPhone.

B — Why is it better / what changed?

This major update includes:

Stronger Privacy Features
• Improved stealth mode
• Better fake PIN vault support
• Faster emergency exit
• More secure auto-lock behavior
• Metadata cleaner for safer sharing

Better Organization
• Improved album & subfolder management
• Cleaner album layouts
• Faster sorting & navigation
• Better media management experience

Rebuilt Media Experience
• Faster native-style video playback
• Better image loading performance
• Improved GIF & Live Photo support
• Smoother full-screen viewing

Expanded Localization
The app now supports multiple new languages including:
Thai, Vietnamese, Polish, Dutch, Malay, Indonesian and more.

⚡ Performance Improvements
A lot of internal work was done to improve:
• startup speed
• import/export performance
• scrolling smoothness
• large vault handling
• stability across older devices

🔐 Still Fully Offline
The biggest thing:
everything stays on-device.

No account.
No tracking.
No server upload.
No mandatory cloud dependency.

C — Cost

• Free version available
• Optional lifetime unlock
• No required subscription to use core features

I’d genuinely love feedback from privacy-focused iPhone & iPad users here — especially around UI, organization, and features you still feel are missing.

A – Answer:
Your home screen is the most looked-at place on your phone. But right now it's completely solo. There's no shared space where your partner, your friends, or your family can leave something for you — right there, always visible, no notification to tap.

Drawget turns that into a living canvas. One widget. Multiple people. Whatever someone draws or sends instantly updates everyone's home screen. It's the closest thing to leaving a sticky note on someone's front door — except it's their iPhone.

---

B – Better:

Widgets on iOS have always been personal. Apps like Widgetsmith, Locket, or photo widgets are either single-user or one-directional. Nobody else does live collaborative drawing on a shared widget.

What makes Drawget different:

- Multiple users, one shared canvas widget — everyone draws, everyone sees it
- Real-time sync — updates hit homescreens within seconds
- Send photos & images directly to someone's widget
- Add text notes and stickers
- Join a private widget room with a simple code — no account needed
- React to drawings with emojis
- Customize backgrounds, patterns, and themes

Why it's not just another group chat:
- Always visible — it lives on the homescreen, not in a notification
- Expressive — actual drawing, not just text
- Persistent — the last thing someone drew stays until someone updates it

This is a new layer of social connection — not a feed, not a chat, not a story. A shared homescreen.

---

Perfect for:

- Couples sharing daily moments on each other's homescreen
- Long-distance friends and family staying connected
- Roommates leaving notes without texting
- Parents sharing drawings with kids
- Anyone who wants their homescreen to feel personal and alive

Privacy:

No ads. No tracking. No data sold. Your drawings and photos stay between you and the people you choose.

---

C – Cost:

- Free: core widget sharing (no signup required)
- Monthly: $2.99/mo
- Yearly: $17.99/yr
- Lifetime: $39.99 one-time — own it forever

PRO unlocks: unlimited widgets and members, drawing history with full restore, premium backgrounds and themes, HD export at 2048px, full-resolution photo sharing.

Just launched — would genuinely love feedback from this community. Happy to answer any questions about the build in the comments 👇

*Disclosure: I'm the developer.*

Paying for Al app subscriptions gets expensive quite quickly. So I experimented with using local voice to text models and combined it with Apple Intelligence. The results surprised me. Until recently, I paid for Wispr Flow and Granola. Since building my app, I have cancelled my subscriptions.

As a launch offer, I have a heavily discounted lifetime subscription within the app as long as you buy it within the first 24 hours of downloading the app. Other similar lifetime subscriptions are over $ 200. I am charging around 85 % less for much more features. As a relatively new app, we still have some rough edges and the Mac companion app is pending review. But we are improving rapidly.

TL;DR: MoveMap is an iPhone app that draws every GPS workout from your Apple Health on one map. On-device, no account. Free tier (see last 12 months of workouts), $1.99/m or $14.99 lifetime.

A – Answer:

Your workout history is probably scattered across 3-4 different apps. Nike Run Club, then Strava, then Garmin Connect, then Apple Fitness. Each app only shows the slice it captured. There's no easy way to see every place you've ever run, ridden, or hiked on one map.

MoveMap reads every GPS workout from your Apple Health and draws all of them on a single map. Works with anything that writes to Health: Strava, Garmin Connect, Nike Run Club, Apple Fitness, etc. You get the idea.

I built it because I'd been working (mostly running and cycling) for 7 years across multiple apps and had no way to see my routes together. Strava charges $79.99/year just to show a personal heatmap of my own data. So I built the smallest thing that fixes that.

B – Better:

The closest existing tools all read from Strava only:

• Wandrer.earth: Strava-only sync, paid tier for full features
• CityStrides: Strava-only, focused on street completion
• Strava Personal Heatmap: $79.99/year subscribers only, only shows Strava-captured data

If your history isn't all in Strava (because you switched apps over the years like most runners), none of those catch the full picture. MoveMap reads Apple Health, which catches data from every tracking app you've ever used.

Other differentiators:

• $14.99 lifetime option (everything else above is subscription-only)
• No account, no servers, no analytics SDKs, no AI - all processing on-device
• Coverage dashboard with countries, states, cities (reverse-geocoded offline)
• Works equally for runners, cyclists, hikers, walkers - not running-specific

Features:

• Lifetime map of every GPS workout (any year from Apple Health)
• Heat mode - personal heatmap (the feature Strava paywalls at $80/year)
• Street coverage - % of streets in your city you've run, biked, or walked
• Coverage stats - countries, cities, total distance, vert, earliest workout
• Year in Review postcard - 1080x1920 image, save to camera roll

Privacy:

No accounts, no servers, no analytics SDKs, no AI features. Routes are read locally from Apple Health and never leave your iPhone.

C – Cost:

• Free: see the last 12 months of your map (forever, no signup)
• Monthly: $1.99/mo with 7-day trial (less than a coffee)
• Annual: $9.99/yr (saves ~58% vs Monthly)
• Lifetime: $14.99 one-time, no renewal

* All paid plans unlock the same full feature set + your full lifetime map. The free tier caps you at the last 12 months.

* Heads up on pricing: lifetime is currently priced at 1.5x annual, which means every paying customer rationally picks lifetime (which so far has been 100% ) and never produces recurring revenue. I'll be moving it closer to the 2-2.5x ratio in the next couple of weeks. Not trying to make this a sales pitch, just being transparent because if you've been considering lifetime, the math is more favourable right now than it will be soon.
