Promo Sunday Hit 100k downloads on my finance app – Unlock lifetime access for free 🎁

424 Upvotes

Hey Apple community 👋🏻,

a few days ago my app Budget Flow reached a big milestone with over 100,000 downloads and over 1,000 five-star ratings worldwide on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.

I'm genuinely happy and grateful for all the support and positive feedback so far – it really means a lot to me. At the same time, however, I believe even more people should know about the app, as a lot of time and effort has gone into building it. Especially for those looking for a clean and easy way to manage their personal finances, I truly believe this app is exactly what they are looking for.

So to help spread the word, I’ve decided to make the Lifetime IAP completely free for a limited time.

Here’s how to get it:

  1. Download the app from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1640091876
  2. After completing the initial setup, a pop-up will appear where you can unlock the "Unlimited" version for free.

For a sneak peek into the app's interface and a detailed breakdown of its features, feel free to check out the official website: https://budget-flow.app.

Also, if you like the app, feel free to recommend it to your friends / family or on social media.
It really helps a lot! 😊

Promo Sunday Narwhal for Reddit now has find in comments, translate reddit content, and more customizations

71 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm the dev of Narwhal for Reddit, a third party client for Reddit. This has been a passion project of mine for over 10 years now! I'm continually updating it when I have time on nights and weekends. Everyone's feedback is invaluable to me as I continue to try to make the best possible app for Reddit. Thanks for all of your support!

New Features

  • Search for text in comments (and comment authors) using the new "Find in Comments" feature! You will find it in the ... menu or you can add it to your action bar for posts. It will even auto expand comments that you may have collapsed, which include the search phrase.
  • Translate Reddit content! There is now a translate option in the all menu for comments, long press menu for self post text, and the long press menu for post titles. (Only on iOS 18 and higher). The translate option will show up when content is in another language from the preferred language of your device.
  • Mute inbox notifications for posts from the ... menu or by long pressing on a post title
  • Mute inbox notifications for comments from the All swipe action or ... menu
  • Adds setting to mark posts as read after upvoting/downvoting in Settings > Posts
  • Automatically upvote posts & comments when saving. Turn this on with two new settings in Settings > Posts and Settings > Comments
  • Instead of seeing "img" in comments that have image emotes, there will now be a link to view the emote
  • Adds "Copy Text" option to the context menu when long pressing a post title

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes an issue that would cause certain Youtube videos to not load
  • Fixes rare crash that could happen when loading a subreddit
  • Fixes another rare crash that could happen when opening Narwhal

Coming Soon

  • A re-design of albums to have horizontal scroll
  • More options for content filters
  • Mod tools

If anyone has any questions around Narwhal 2, iOS programming, what it's like to work on an app like this, etc., I am happy to answer!

Promo Sunday I built Antinote: A Beautiful Productivity Scratchpad for macOS

152 Upvotes

Hi r/apple! Last month, I released my first macOS app:

Antinote.io

$5. One-time. Lifetime Updates.

These days, most note-taking apps are focused on organization, AI, formatting, and rich-content - a place to neatly link and store everything.

I wanted to build something completely opposite, hyper-focused on temporary use cases:

  • Jotting something super quick
  • Making instant contextual calculations without needing to open Excel/Sheets
  • Streamlining intermediary copy/pasting between apps, especially when you want to strip formatting
  • OCR-ing from a screenshot-to-plain-text for when you need to work with text from an image

I wanted it to sit as a companion app between you and your main note-taking app, so it has one-click export to Obsidian, Bear, Apple Notes, .md, .txt.

Most indulgently, I wanted to make this experience feel beautiful and slick, native to macOS, and a nod to things that inspired me as a child, so it's got some themes that I hope will make you smile.

Promo Sunday only allows text posts, so I hope you check out the website! 90% of the last 8 updates have been entirely community driven, so if you want to join us, we're here on Discord.

Thank in advance for the time!

Johnson

Promo Sunday WindowKeys: an app to use window-tiling shortcuts on 3rd party keyboards. Now with Tiling Panel

8 Upvotes

WindowKeys is an app that allows you to use new window-tiling keyboard shortcuts on third-party keyboards(as the Globe key is not properly handled in most of those keyboards.) With this app you can easily customize all those keybaord shortcuts.

Recently, I've released 2.0. It brings Tiling Panel. It's a window that allows you to see all those tiling options and quickly choose the one you need, so you don't have to remember any shortcuts (except for the one to show the panel.)

The app uses native macOS Sequoia window-tiling mechanism.

And it's completely free!

You can get the app here.

Promo Sunday I built an app for measuring distances on your iPhone 📏

0 Upvotes

Calipers a simple app for places where the AR ruler doesn't work so well. It's got three modes:

  • Tape Measure measures distances accurate to within a few centimetres/inches
  • Precision Ruler measures distances accurate to 0.1mm or 1/64th of an inch
  • The ✨new✨ Spirit Level measures the tilt of surfaces and/or picture frames

This app has always been to fix a few bug bears I've had with the built-in measurement app. It all started when I needed to measure the width of a screw to buy a replacement - but couldn't find any high quality apps that do that. I thought since the pixels on your phone are so small in size, it should be possible to measure very small distances using your display.

The most recent addition is the Spirit Level. Now I know there is a spirit level built into iOS. I actually think this app is a real work of art, and it is very clever how it all works. However, it is also very much a form-over-function app. It uses very abstract concepts to show tilt, that make it real pain to read when you're actually using it to level something. And for the most common task - levelling a picture - it gives irrelevant information, and skips the basics like whether it's off tilt in the clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.

In Calipers, you can place your phone on a flat surface and there's an arrow so you know exactly where the tilt is, and the arrow gets longer the more tilted the surface is. Or, place your phone above a picture frame and it will show only the tilt of the picture frame, and two handles will show you which way to tilt the frame to make it level.

Weeks has been spent tweaking the UI and all the subtle animations throughout the app to make it an absolute delight to use. It's available as a one-time purchase for $2, and I'm constantly adding new features to the app.

If you'd like to support an indie developer, the app is available at

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calipers/id6445826923

An of course, I'm happy to answer any questions!
