A – Answer: what problem it solves

The average person is bound to spend almost a third of their life staring at a glass rectangle we call a phone, and short-form video is the main suspect. But the solution isn't to block all short form content as a whole. Short form isn't intrinsically bad. It can be funny, relatable, and genuinly useful sometimes. Whats truly bad is infinite feeds.

Scrolled makes any social media feed you want end after a set number of scrolls. For example, for instagram, you pick how many "scrolls" you want and after you exhaust your allowance the reels tab dissapears until tomorrow. DMs, stories and profiles and all the rest of the functional parts keep working.

It works similarly for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reddit, X and Facebook.

How it works:

- Each app runs inside Scrolled, signed in to your own account on each site's own login page. There is no Scrolled account nor servers and I collect zero data and EVERYTHING stays on your phone.

- A thin bar at the top shows how many clips you have left today.

- Once the limit you set is reached you get an "All caught up" screen and the feed is blocked until the next day

- The actual apps are blocked using the screen time API. However if you need the real app for something quick, you can unlock it for 1-5 minutes then it becomes blocked again.

Some goodies:

- Toggles for no ads, no sponsored posts, no read reciepts, no story read reciepts, hold to copy caption, account switching, a filtered "who doesn't follow me back" list, and MUCH more.

- Need it stricter? There's hard mode, uninstall protection, adult website blocking + more.

- An option to replace the real apps icon with Scrolled's version so your thumb doesn't keep going to the blocked version.

- Block any other non-social media apps as well.

- Keep your notifications while blocking is on! (this was a challenge to implement)

B – Better: compared with named alternatives

- vs Apple's Screen Time limits: The obvious answer is they're super easy to dismiss. But those lock the whole app when time runs out, so you lose your DMs too and any other functional features of the app you're blocking. Scrolled only targets the root problem and ends the endless feed, and the rest of the app keeps working.

- vs app blockers like one sec or Opal: Similarly, they add friction or lock you out of the app. Scrolled lets you keep using the app and solves the root problem (infinite feeds) by just giving the feeds a bottom.

- vs SocialLite (Most similar) and others: These apps have taken a step in the right direction by not blocking the apps as a whole but still go too far by blocking reels/ shortform as a whole. This is uneccessary as short form is not intrinsically bad, infinite feeds are the problem.

C – Cost

- Free to download, but it needs a subscription (a free trial is available): $7.99 a month, $39.99 a year, or $59.99 once for lifetime.

A — What problem does it solve?

Hey everyone!

I take one medicine regularly, and I still manage to confuse myself about whether I’ve taken it. You’d think one would be easy enough to remember 😅

I wanted to be able to check my phone instead of trying to remember.

The reason I actually started building this, though, was my dog. He has type 1 diabetes and lost his vision due to cataracts. He has a few other health complications too, so there are quite a few medications to manage. The doses and schedules change frequently, and they’re not all measured in tablets.

That became Medo, a medicine reminder and tracker for iPhone.

You can use it for your own medicines, someone you’re looking after, or a pet. Reminders help with remembering when, and logging doses gives you something to check when you’re unsure what you’ve already taken.

B — Why is it different?

A lot of the work went into the awkward scheduling details I needed for my dog, while keeping the everyday stuff simple enough for my own one medicine.

Things like:

• Medicines taken every other day or at other intervals

• Different quantities at different times, with units like tablets, drops, and mL

• Reminders before, with, or after your saved meal times

• Tracking how much medicine is left and getting a heads-up when it’s running low

• Keeping separate profiles for yourself and others, without mixing everyone’s medicines together

There’s also dose history, so you can look back at what you’ve logged and even share pdf reports with doctors

C — Cost

✅ Free to download and use

The free version includes three active medicines, one care profile, basic reminders, and 30 days of history.

There’s an optional Medo Pro upgrade for unlimited medicines, multiple profiles, advanced schedules, full insights and reports, and Apple Watch support.

US prices:

💳 Weekly: $1.49
📆 Yearly: $24.99
♾️ Lifetime: $49.99, one-time purchase

Prices vary by country. Subscriptions renew unless canceled.

I’m Sanket, the developer of Medo. I’m a solo developer and senior iOS engineer with 8+ years of experience.

I build and maintain it myself, and I financially benefit if people buy Pro.

I’d really like some honest feedback:

1. Do you also forget whether you’ve already taken your medicine?

2. Is there anything annoying about your current way of keeping track?

3. If you try Medo, what feels confusing or missing?

Thanks for taking a look!

Hey r/iosapps! I've been building trvld on the side and it just went live on the App Store.

You spin a 3D globe and tap the countries you've been to, and each one fills in with its flag. There are also layers for the 50 US states and all 63 national parks.

- Trips with dates, notes, photos and videos for each place

- Stats on how much of the world you've seen, by continent

- A share card of your globe

- No account, no ads, no tracking. Your map stays on your phone and syncs through your own iCloud

It's free. There's an optional one-time $4.99 upgrade (trvld Pro) for unlimited trips and the year-by-year timeline. No subscription.

Next on my list: marking places you've lived, plus cities and sights. Which would you actually use? Anything else you'd want on the globe?

Would love any feedback. Android is coming soon.

Hi r/iosapps.

I'm a UX designer with a passion, and this is Proof, a workout tracker I've been building on nights and weekends for about 6 months. I'm posting because it's at the point where I need people using it more than I need to keep polishing it with a small group.

The problem. Most workout apps make you do the thinking. You walk up to the bar and scroll back through last week to find what you lifted, then guess whether to go heavier. The other kind buries you in charts and streaks you never look at. And more and more of them push a subscription before you've logged a single set.

What Proof does instead. You log and track a sets with one tap. The app remembers everything, so when you open a lift it already shows what you did last time and what to try today. After every workout it tells you plainly what moved, what held, and what to do next time. That's the whole idea. The rest is in service of it.

Why it's different.

• It tells you what to lift, not just what you lifted. Every suggestion comes from your own log: your last sets, your rep range, how hard it felt.
• Records are stamped when you earn them. A heavy warm-up or a one-off doesn't count, and the app says why.
• It finds patterns in your training and states them as counts, never scores. "Rest seems to help: 9 of 12 lifts after a day off set a record." If the evidence isn't there yet, it says nothing.
• A body map shows what you've actually trained, and compares the last four weeks with the four before, so a muscle you've been skipping is obvious.
• Balance puts the week your body had next to the week your log had: steps, active minutes, sleep and lifting on one grid, with one honest word on top. In balance, short on rest, off the plan. Read from Apple Health on your phone, never sent anywhere. Over time it learns things like "your records follow seven hours of sleep," and it only says so once it has the sessions to back it up.
• It's designed, not templated. One careful thing instead of a hundred half-built ones.

What's in it.

1. Logging

• One-tap set logging, with a rest timer that runs in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen
• Progression suggestions on every lift: the weight and reps to try today, from your own log
• Warm-ups and drop sets, logged as what they are and never counted as records
• An effort scale after each set, which feeds the next workout's suggestions
• Records registered as you earn them, with the app saying why
• Single-arm and single-leg tracking, notes on any lift
• Every session saved in full, editable later

2. Reading your training

• Session insights after every workout: what moved, what held, what to do next time
• Lift insights and lift details: the arc of each lift, your best sets, and one suggestion for next time
• Progression tuned to your goal: build muscle, get stronger, or stay in shape
• Progress overview, lift by lift and week by week
• Body heat map of what you've trained, with a compare of the last four weeks against the four before
• History with patterns found in your own log, stated as counts ("9 of 12 lifts after a day off set a record")
• Milestones: first plate, 100th workout, a year with the app, stamped as they happen
• Balance: steps, sleep, active minutes and lifting on one week grid, from Apple Health

3. Around it

• Apple Watch app, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Dynamic Island
• AI routine building, or bring your own; unlimited routines
• Import from Strong and Hevy, CSV export anytime
• 500+ exercises with hand-drawn lift illustrations
• A few skins (to match your tastes)

On price. Proof is 100% free. No account, no subscription, no ads, no "pro" tier hiding the good parts. Your data stays on your phone and exports as a CSV whenever you want it. I'm not trying to make money from it right now. I want to build a base of people who use it and tell me what's wrong with it. If that ever changes, I'll say so here first.

Happy to answer anything about how it works or how it was made. And if you try it and something feels off, tell me. That's the part I'm here for.

For years, bedtime was the same loop. How was school? Fine.

One night I asked three different questions instead.

What did you try today?
What did you learn?
What did you do kind for someone?

Her answers were interesting and I finally started knowing her.

A. What problem does it solve?
Most family journaling apps are built for posting, likes, streaks, curated highlights. Kids start performing instead of reflecting. Sprout Diary is the opposite, a completely private family journal where the only audience is each other. Daily prompts geared toward child development help you track emotional growth over time, not just log events.

B. Why is it better? Everything stays on your device in your own iCloud. No accounts, no tracking, no data leaving the phone. No likes, no feeds, no performance anxiety. Over 20 templates built around developmental stages, from parent-scribe mode for toddlers to shared reflections for teens, photos with captions and comments, multiple family members, and beautifully formatted exports as PDF memory books or photo books.

C. What's the cost?
Normally $59 for a lifetime subscription.
Since we don't have any trust, ratings, etc, I'm offering it free for a limited time.

Answer:

You have the same 5AM alarm every day.

You’d like to turn it off tomorrow -> Swipe left to skip.

You’d like to move it to 7AM 2 days from now -> Swipe left to edit and move.

You’d like it to ring quieter or ramp up slower than usual -> Swipe left to edit and change.

You wake up before the alarm rings -> Just dismiss from lock screen.

Without changing the series back afterwards.

You have 3 alarms for morning shifts and 3 other alarms for afternoon shifts but what date you work what shift can change on the fly.

-> Just group them into templates and enable when needed.

You have groups of alarms that start at different times on different dates, gym, prepare for a flight, multiple alarms 1 minute apart, etc.

-> Routine is what you need. All alarms shift according to start time.

Any alarms in templates and routines are modifiable.

You have events in your calendar but notifications are too quiet and cloud push ones cannot reach you when you turn off Internet

-> Calendar automation to set alarms according to events.

Built with AlarmKit so it rings through Silent and DnD. On iOS18, there is no AlarmKit so you’ll need to make sure it can ring via notification.

Adapts to different poses of iPhone Duo, with landscape layout on regular iPhone and iPad.

Better:

While every alarm apps tries to be as annoying as possible, this one tries to stay out of the way as best as possible. 

But Challenge Wake can be activated to give your brain just the right amount of boredom and annoyance so you’d rather wake up than going back to bed by asking you to complete a few rounds of sorting challenge.

Cost:

Free users can use 1 routine, 1 template, 1 calendar automation rule, skip any alarm and look ahead 7 days.

I think $2.49/month is a fair price for an app that got a tool to handle a lot of situations. There are also annual sub and lifetime purchase.

Answer. Most astronomy apps begin with a map of the sky. I wanted something narrower: choose one thing, then have the phone physically point me toward it. That became Acolo, short for “A Compass in Space.”

Pick the Sun, Moon, a planet, a bright star, a constellation, Earth's Center, or a place on the map. A translucent 3D arrow points there even when the target is behind you or below the horizon. For a faraway place, it takes the direct line through the Earth. “Turn right” and “Tilt up” hints get you moving in the right direction, then haptic taps speed up as you line up and continue while you are on target.

It also shows the distance, degrees above or below the horizon, and a deliberately impractical travel time. The Sun is about 3,400 years away if you insist on walking.

Better. I do not think Acolo replaces Sky Guide or Stellarium Mobile. Those are full planetariums with rich sky maps and much larger catalogs. Acolo is the little one-target instrument I wanted beside them: no chart to read, no camera overlay to line up, just an arrow, direction hints, and haptics.

That narrower idea also goes somewhere a normal sky map does not. You can point at London through the ground, stand virtually on Mars and ask where Jupiter is, or stand at Sirius and point back toward the Sun. The Apple Watch app uses the top edge of the Watch as the pointer, and it can sync the current selection, saved places, and pins with the iPhone through iCloud.

Pointing calculations work offline. Apple Maps is used for map tiles and place search. There is no account or backend, and your location stays on your device.

Cost. Free to download. The Sun, Moon, and Earth's Center are free. Any optional one-time tip unlocks every planet, star, constellation, custom place, and alternate starting point permanently. The US tip choices are $0.99, $2.99, $4.99, $9.99, $19.99, and $99.99; every amount unlocks the same features. There is no subscription.

Requires iOS 26 or later.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6818701360

I also started r/AcoloApp for questions, feedback, and Acolo updates.

I’d especially like to hear whether the one-target approach feels usefully different from a full sky map-and whether its VoiceOver direction cues and haptics might help someone who prefers a simple pointer when finding a place on Earth or locating a planet in the sky. It isn’t turn-by-turn navigation.

A. What it does

bond is a care log made specifically for senior dogs and dogs with chronic conditions. It is not a general health tracker for healthy dogs.

• Log a med with one tap, from the app or a home screen widget. Scheduled doses get reminders. “Only when needed” meds, like a rescue med, never nag you.
• Log seizures or incidents with structured fields: type, duration, severity and post-ictal behavior (how your dog is after a seizure).
• A dashboard with 30-day, 90-day and 1-year views, so you can see when incidents took place.
• Track your medication inventory, so you can avoid running out when the vet is closed.
• Views for nine conditions: epilepsy, anxiety, allergies, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, IVDD and kidney disease.
• Add a caregiver (partner, family or sitter) so everyone logs to the same record, and track multiple dogs. Both are Plus features.
• A structured PDF report for vet visits (Plus).

It’s a record-keeping tool: not diagnostic, not an AI product, and not a replacement for your vet. iPhone only for now (Android is on the roadmap, no date). You sign in with Apple.

B. Why I built it, and why it’s better

Two years ago my dog Delon had his first seizure. We spent a couple of weeks hoping it was a one-off. Then came the epilepsy diagnosis, and a combination of meds (phenobarbital, potassium bromide, etc), plus bloodwork, vet visits and a notebook full of dates and durations.

I tried a notes app (lost in the scroll), a spreadsheet (I got bored of updating it) and a group text with my wife (it decayed in a week). Vet visits became a guessing game: what changed, when, and did it help?

I built bond for myself. After about six months of daily use it felt selfish to keep it private, so I widened it from epilepsy to nine conditions.

Alternatives I looked at:

• RVC Pet Epilepsy Tracker: epilepsy-specific.
• PetMed: Medication Tracker: supports as-needed schedules and PDF/CSV export. Its page doesn’t mention seizure logging.
• 11pets: general pet care.

bond is aimed at dogs with a chronic condition, where meds and incidents need to sit in one timeline.

C. Cost

Free to download. The free tier covers everything for one dog: core logging, condition views and 90 days of history. Plus is $2.99/month or $24.99/year (7-day trial on the yearly plan). It adds shared care with a partner or sitter, full history beyond 90 days, the vet report PDF, and multiple dogs.
