24 alternatives to Acti
Hi HN, I made Acti, an iOS app that automatically records the places you visit and builds a timeline of your life. It’s totally private, no accounts, no cloud, everything stays local on your device. The motivation: I wanted something like Google Maps Timeline, but without data collection or ads. Acti just runs in the background, asks you to name new places once, and then remembers them forever. You can also add photos, comments, and ratings. What I’m struggling with: because there are no registrations, I don’t really know how to connect with users, gather feedback, or even measure if people…

Hi everyone - I've been working on this automatic journal for a long time. It takes your photos, makes them look nice, and also journals the places you go just by having your phone in your pocket. Would love your feedback!

Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

My Expenses is a very simple app to track expenses for one-time budgets. Let's say you're going on vacations in Italy and you want to allocate $1.500 to this trip. You create a budget "Italy" in 30 seconds and you're ready to go. Each time you make an expense in Italy, you add it to the app in a few seconds and you instantly know you're remaining budget. I'm bored of super complex apps. Yes, they do a lot of things, but it often takes a while to get used to the app and understand all its features. That's why I created this app. I want people to be able to track their expenses in seconds, as…
