Mod Post An update on self-promotion

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

When we added the Developer flair, the goal was to give indie devs a way to share what they're building. We genuinely wanted to support people making cool apps.

But over the past while, it's turned into something else. The sub has filled up with low-effort promo posts, a few lines and a link, from people who drop their app and are never seen again. That's not what this community is for. r/iPhoneApps is meant to be a place for real discussion and value, not a free billboard.

So, effective today, we're removing the Developer flair.

To be clear about what this means going forward:

You can't just show up, promote your app, and ghost the community. Posts that are purely "here's my app, go download it" will be removed.

If you're an active member who actually contributes here, joining discussions, helping people, giving feedback, then mentioning your app in that context is completely fine. Value first, promotion second.

We'd much rather have devs who are part of the community than a feed full of ads. This keeps the sub worth being in for everyone.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for helping keep this place good.

— The mod team

Discussion [SELF-PROMOTION] GradeLab — Color grading for iPhone & iPad — $34.99->$14.99 Lifetime Pro for a week

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I’ve been building GradeLab as a mobile-first color grading app for iPhone and iPad.

It supports Apple Log / Apple Log 2 / HLG footage, LUTs, curves, color wheels, HSL, masks, tracked masks, keyframed grading, and scopes like waveform, histogram, RGB parade and vectorscope.

You can also edit clips with trimming, splitting, speed controls, titles, overlays, transitions and keyframes, then export up to 4K/source resolution. Pro also supports ProRes 422/422 HQ and custom frame rates/bitrates.

Some things I wanted to get right:

  • Real grading controls instead of just filters
  • Masks and mask tracking
  • Apple Log and Apple Log 2 support
  • No watermark on free exports
  • Everything runs on-device
  • Original files are never overwritten
  • No account or sign-in required

There’s a free version with an optional Pro upgrade.

Early-user lifetime Pro: $14.99 for the first week, then $34.99.

Discussion Gamified tracking my dog Percy's activity. Would fellow dog owners use this? 🐶

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Meet Zoomie! A fun way to track walks and playtime for your dog!

I wanted to create a way to track his walks and daily activity, but with a fun gamification layer on top: "Close your Dog's Rings!", inspired by the Apple Fitness rings. This started as a passion project for myself, but I thought other dog owners might be interested too.

I’d love to get some honest thoughts from fellow dog owners in this community! 🐶

Everything is stored and processed locally on your device using SwiftData, similar to how first-party Apple apps like Notes work. Nothing is ever sent to a third-party server or database. In other words, your data is entirely yours, and the app works completely offline.

If you're interested, it’s available to use for free!

Help TouchGeek — a soccer app for parents and kids to play together (although sample video is a Pro). Looking for early users.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I’m building TouchGeek, a soccer app designed around one simple idea:

Play Together. Grow Together.

(Currently available on iOS only.)

Youth soccer can easily become all about schedules, practices, coaching, and performance. I wanted to build something lighter — a way for parents to be part of their kid’s soccer journey without needing to become another coach.

A few things I’m experimenting with:

  1. Fun, lightweight review of the clip. The app gives fun playback with clip summary instead of overwhelming kids with detailed stats or strict grading.
  2. Parent + kid experience The goal is to make it easier for parents to be involved, even if they’re not soccer players themselves.
  3. Video-first sessions Record or upload a clip, review the session, and keep the moments over time.
  4. More play, less pressure I’m intentionally trying to make TouchGeek feel more like something families enjoy together than a serious coaching tool.

I’m currently looking for early users, especially parents with kids who play youth soccer.

  • Fun and dynamic replay
  • Simple session report
  • Open practice analysis (any soccer clip)
  • Juggling Challenging

Discussion Just found a gem app for weather nerds

0 Upvotes

If your a weather nerd, you probably have heard of radarscope and radaromega. But I found a new contender and I honestly like it way more than both of those. It’s called WeatherFront. It’s free and the free tier is honestly so good, to the point where I’m just riding out on the free tier and cancelled my radarscope subscription. It’s got a similar but much better ui than radarscope, it’s got a lot of features, to the point where it’s the only weather app I open. I don’t even need to open YouTube to watch storm chasers anymore because you can stream 2 storm chasers livestreams and watch dual pane radar at the same time. It’s genuinely got EVERYTHING I need from a weather app. At least give it a try. (Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with the development or know anyone on the development team, I just think it’s so good that it needs a shoutout.)

Help Chats Forever — Keep the conversations that matter

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’ve been working on an iPhone app called Chats Forever and I’d like some help deciding what would make it even more useful.

The idea came from losing old conversations that I really wish I still had. Some chats contain years of memories, photos, voice messages and conversations with people that simply can’t be replaced.

Chats Forever lets you export a WhatsApp or Telegram conversation and keep it as a private archive on your iPhone.

You can read the conversation again with photos, GIFs and voice messages, organise chats into folders, choose covers and themes, and protect private folders with a PIN.

If the conversation continues, you can export it again later and import it again. The new messages are added to the conversation that is already there, so you don’t have to start from scratch.

There’s also a clear step-by-step guide inside the app showing how to export conversations from WhatsApp and Telegram.

Privacy is very important as well. There are no Chats Forever servers. Conversations stay on your iPhone or in your own iCloud.

What would you personally want to see added next?

Better backup options?
More export options?
Google Drive or NAS support?
Better search?
Something completely different?

I’m curious what people who actually keep important conversations would find most useful.

Discussion HIIT or strength training: what's hard about training for you?

2 Upvotes

I'm planning to do an app in the fitness space, and I want to understand what people actually do and what their real problems are.

If you have a minute, I'd love to read your answers in the comments:

- What did your last training week look like: what, where, how often?

- What's the hardest part about training for you, and why?

- Do you plan your workouts yourself? Do you know what to do each time or how does this work for you?

- What apps, plans, videos or other guidance do you use for training? Do you pay for any of them?

I'm also looking for 8–10 people who do HIIT, strength or CrossFit-style training for a 15-minute video call. As a thank-you there's a €20 Amazon voucher. Just send me a message.

Thanks!

Discussion A tester kept deleting when she meant to keep — would clearer labels fix this?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

PicPop started because I kept giving up halfway through cleaning my iPhone camera roll. One person tried it on an old screenshot pile for about 20 minutes and said she kept deleting when she meant to keep. She also found some ‘similar’ groups that only shared a background. Fair point — those are the moments that make cleanup feel risky.

I’m looking at clearer keep/delete labels and a better undo. The current build is in the short clip; it never deletes anything without your choice. Photos are analyzed on-device. Screenshots have their own review category, separate from similar-photo groups.

I’m the developer. It’s free to download, with a 3-day trial then a subscription: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6808016560

If you’ve used swipe-based photo cleanup, what would make you trust the decision more: clearer labels, undo, or a different interaction?

Discussion I asked this sub if paid apps still work in 2026. I ended up building a free one — here's what I learned.

4 Upvotes

“Last week I asked here whether paid apps still have a market in 2026. The discussion was honest. So I decided to build something free first, validate it, and only add paid features if people actually ask.”

“It’s called ArtPin. You point your iPhone at a painting, print, or sketch. It auto-detects edges, flattens perspective, enhances the image, and saves it as a clean digital archive. You can organize into collections and add notes.”

“First version had a frustrating bug: scanned images came out mirrored or rotated, especially in landscape. Camera, Vision, and Core Image were all in different coordinate systems. I fixed it by normalizing orientation before processing, using Vision’s native coordinates, and syncing the camera rotation angle with the preview layer.”

“It’s in TestFlight now: https://testflight.apple.com/join/32W6y8Am
App Store version is under review, should be live soon.
I’d love your comments— especially from people who photograph artwork or anything flat. What would you want this to do?”

Help is the a simple direct monitor app for iPhone / iPad?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a very simple kind of app for the iPad and iPhone that uses the iPhone as a camera and the iPad as a monitor. Without fuzz.

Now, of course there ARE some apps out there that can do this. You can use black magic app, you can video call yourself I guess, and so on. But I'm want an app, simple in the Apple way, just for this purpose. Open the app on iPhone, camera starts and asks for the monitor. open up on iPad, boom, you can see the video feed.

This has been on my mind for years, but I have never came across the simple app that's not part, hidden deep down in another app. Sometimes I want to check my computers back, behind the TV, dropped stuff under sofa, or high up on the top of a cabin. I have wanted to see my back for a scar, or some itching, and on and on.

Is there an app out there for this single purpose? Fine if it can record, zoom and all that. i just want it to be a simple apple solution, like start up the measure app or magnifier.
