Products that do what Cut back alcohol in a warm and supportive app does
I've always been a heavy drinker and tried multiple time to cut back alcohol, but failed every time. As a mobile developer, I had the idea to create a dedicated app to track alcohol consumption in quick and fun way. That's why I've developed Drylendar, an iOS app translated in French (I'm French) and English that allows people to track their drink every day in a beautiful calendar. To help people staying motivated, I've added medals to unlock and possibility to add friends to share calendars and positive energy. My app is available on App Store for 10 days, and it's been 215 days that I…

Hey HN, I'm a solo developer from Nigeria. I built Quran Unlock - an app that blocks distracting apps (TikTok, Instagram, etc.) until you complete your daily Quran reading. The idea came from my own struggle with phone addiction. I wanted to read Quran daily but kept getting distracted. So I built this for myself, then shared it. Some stats after 2 months: - 123K+ users - 64.9% returning user rate - 31M events tracked Tech stack: - React Native - Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Analytics, Cloud Messaging) - RevenueCat for subscriptions - iOS Screen Time API + Android UsageStats App Store:…

Hi all, over the last 2 years I've been on and off building my app for iPhone. Caloree is basically a freemium calorie tracker/food diary with the ability to only track calories. This sets it apart from the competition which usually allows logging a gazillion macros. This (hopefully) makes it easier for users to log their food. Feedback so far has been great. The app launched today, which I am quite proud of. It's been 2 years next to raising 2 small kids which meant to often sacrifice the project when it was moving along nicely and spending way less time on it than I would have wanted…

Hey HN, I was overweight in college and started my weight loss journey using an app called MyFitnessPal. Tracking calories not only helped me lose weight but also taught me a lot about nutrition and helped establish healthy eating habits that continue to benefit me. However, I’ve always been frustrated by the existing nutrition tracking apps. Many are slow and bloated, lack accurate nutrition data, or don’t respect user privacy. I wanted to build something that I’d love using myself. A few things that make FitBee stand out: * Fast, lightweight and to the point - The app is just about…

I'm trying to get the motivation up to actually finish building out a "real" product, and I found myself needing a "win" to keep my momentum up. So, I hacked out a little one sentence journal app last night. I experimented with a few UI things (e.g.., the autosaving of the sentence for today and so on), so it was a good learning experience also. You can check it out at: http://osod.im

Hello and Happy New Year HN! Hope all the bests in 2022. So I've been working on a minimal calendar app , named Clendar (Calendar without an 'a'). I know, it's not a good SEO name, but I will go with it :) I've been building Clendar on my spare time. At first, it's just a side weekend project so that I can learn new Apple technologies, but, the app came to the point of usability that I think I should publish on the App Store anyway for the world to know and use it. Besides, I have been trying to design the app for minimal and usability in mind. Also, the app is fully open-source, as a way…

Hey HN! This is my first iOS app. I built it because I was curious about SwiftUI and wanted to learn by doing. Since Lent is around the corner, I thought I'd share it with you. It has also been hunted on PH today: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ascent I relied heavily on ChatGPT to build it, and honestly it was quite frustrating at times. The best part of building the app was to do it in public, as I shared regular updates on X and ended up having amazing conversations.

i built a heart rate zone training app for runners. ios + apple watch. custom zones, real-time haptics, post-run graphs. all the “smart” stuff you’d expect. but i never talked to a single runner before building it. not even myself lol. started as a thesis → kept building → added features → added a paywall (€4/month!) → launched it → and yeah… no one cared. zero feedback. zero users. just code in the void. i recently made the whole thing free. not trying to “sell” anything now — just seeing if it’s actually useful, and listening this time. curious how others handle this. ever build…

https://itunes.apple.com/dk/app/id880331892 One of those side projects that turned out fun, but have absolutely no idea on how to get people using it. (we keep sharing it on our social networks, and got close to a 100 downloads) Funny story about the name is that we made up a name before we knew what the app was going to be. It was just a fun exercise we indulged in at the pub, a bunch of laughs over silly app names for imaginary projects.
