24 alternatives to I made an iOS app to create and expand your images
Hello everyone! I just launched an iOS app called RetouchAI! You can easily type in a prompt, ask the AI to enhance it and generate a cool image you can download to your gallery. Also you can expand the generated image (or any other from your gallery/camera) beyond the borders, making a cool “zoom-out” effect. See examples of the quality of the images you can create visiting https://www.getretouchai.app/#gallery. More features to come, including inpainting, erasing and upscaling. You have 5 free credits to use the app, and there’s no need to login. Just download it and…

Around 3 weeks ago, I came across a reddit post from someone who was looking to see if anyone was interested in taking over a 12-14 year old objective c app which hadn't been on the app store for many years. I responded and decided to do it. The app is called Painteresque. It lets you turn photos to charcoal drawings, paintings etc while doing all the processing locally on device: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/painteresque-photo-to-sketch/i... The app is entirely free to use, has no ads, third party analytics, trackers, subscriptions or other junk. It does offer…

Hi HN, I recently got the AnkiMobile app for iOS for Mandarin. It was buggy and feature-lacking in my opinion, so I made a nice looking Anki-compatible alternative app, with more features. It uses a tuned FSRS5 algorithm and supports image occlusion out of the box. You can import your existing Anki decks into it or create a new one. Pretty quick to add cards with the image feature. I'm using it right now and will add more to it so let me know what you think. FYI, it has a one-off purchase of $14.99 to unlock it for lifetime (no taksies backsies) after a test period of seven days.

Hey HN, My wife is a designer, and one day she asked me if there was a tool to enhance images and improve their quality. I recommended a few to her, but she found that the suitable ones were too expensive, and the more affordable options didn't offer enough magnification, most only going up to 2x or 4x. So, I thought, why not create a tool that meets her needs, one that can greatly enhance image resolution and clarity while being very affordable to use? After over a month of effort, I finally completed this tool. It can now enlarge images up to 10 times, with a maximum support of 12,000…

http://imagestash.org/ Kind of like Instapaper for images. While surfing at home one evening I found the perfect desktop background ... for my work machine. I got to pondering the quickest way to save a random image so I could get to it on all of my devices, got a wee bit carried away with the technical possibilities, and this was the result. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Had some time available and wanted to play with user interface design, so I thought of a simple app that lent itself to that. Coding was roughly 8-10 hours for the whole thing, then another 15-20 hours to take the pictures (homemade studio, iPhone for camera, Gimp to edit). Looking forward to your feedback, and I have promo codes available for anyone that wants them https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simple-knot/id593421479?mt=8

I launched an iOS app that lets you scan documents as quickly as your camera takes photos, all wrapped in the skeuomorphic style of iOS 6.0. It was a fun indie project. Hope some of you will enjoy it! :)

Enlarger▲6Hey everyone! I know there are gazillion alternatives out there especially with AI and all, but this nevertheless is my take on it. I created it because I was frustrated with the options I was seeing in the market. Too heavy, too complex, UX was meh, the output created was not resonating with my style of photography, they are generally glitchy or hallucinate too much, and I dislike subscription fees or credits personally. I prefer BIFL licenses and desktop apps. Since most will probably compare it to the free and open source Upscayl, I went ahead and did a comparison post on the visual…
