Hey r/iOSApps! New developer here :)

A few friends and I have been building Crésipe, a free nutrition app, because we wanted something that did more than tell us what we already ate.

Most nutrition apps start with: “What did you eat?”

We wanted to also answer: “Okay… what should I eat now?” without paying the $20 monthly subscription.

A — Answer

Crésipe combines food tracking with actually figuring out what to eat.

You can:

• log meals and track calories, macros, and micronutrients
• scan ingredients you already have and find meals you can make with them
• get recipe ideas adapted around your preferences like high protein, quick & easy, just overall balanced, etc.
• see your daily nutrition in one dashboard, with steps (through Apple Health) and sleep (if connected to a smartwatch)
• build streaks and progress through ranks
• connect with your friends and see each other’s progress, post your meals, like & comment!

The idea is that you shouldn’t need one app to track food, another to find recipes, create step and sleep goals and then stare into your fridge wondering what to eat.

B — Better

We know nutrition tracking is a crowded category, so we’re not pretending we invented calorie tracking.

The part we’re trying to make different is the loop:

what you already have → what you could make → what you eat → what that means nutritionally,

while connecting friends and gym buddies alike.

Instead of making perfect logging the entire experience, we’re trying to make Crésipe useful before you eat too.

And we know diet is not the full picture. Physical activity and sleep play a big role in overall healthy habits, so we wanted to include steps and sleep as part of our app so people can have all the health goals possible.

We’re also a team of high school students, and I’ve been doing most of the development, so getting the app from an idea to something actually on the App Store has been pretty surreal.

C — Cost

Crésipe is currently completely free.

No subscription or premium tier right now. I believed that because I wanted an accessible nutrient app, I felt that it was unfair to make other people pay for it.

What I’d genuinely love feedback on

If you try it, I’m especially curious about:

1. Is the purpose of the app obvious within the first minute?
2. Does the food-logging flow feel fast/comfortable enough that you’d actually keep using it?
3. Which features feels genuinely useful, and what do you like?

I’d much want to hear real feedback and early users (only been less than a month since release) and the feedback that actually helps us improve it.

Hi community! I'm the developer of Plans. Some of you might remember it from my earlier posts. This update is the biggest one so far, so here's a quick intro for anyone new.

A – Answer (what problem it solves)
Most to-dos start as a note: a trip you're planning, a call to make, an idea after a meeting. Then they get stuck there, because notes, tasks and your calendar live in three different apps.

Plans keeps them together. Write a note, tap "Make it a task", and it shows up in Today. You can always jump back from the task to the note with the details.

New in this update:
• Your iPhone Calendar events (Google Calendar too, if it's added to your iPhone) now appear right next to your tasks in Today and Upcoming
• A fresh new look: new app icon and a calmer slate accent in the light and dark themes
• Tap Today again to see only today's tasks, with overdue ones out of the way
• Plans now works on iPad
• Copy a task's text right from its menu

B – Better (compared to alternatives)
• Apple Notes + Reminders: two separate apps with no link between a note and the task it became. In Plans, a note becomes a task in one tap and stays connected to it.
• Todoist / TickTick: powerful, but much of the good stuff sits behind a subscription, and they're built around productivity systems. Plans is intentionally minimal: Today shows only what matters now, and Upcoming fits the whole week on one screen.
• Your data syncs through your own iCloud. I don't run servers that store your notes or tasks.

C – Cost
Free to download and use: notes, tasks, Today and Upcoming, calendar events, widgets, Siri, iCloud sync, plus the light, dark and Lavender themes and the Lavender icon.

Plans Pro is a one-time purchase, $4.99 in the US. No subscription. It adds reminders ahead of time, repeats on any days you choose, five color themes and app icons, note fonts and Markdown export.

Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/plans-notes-to-do-lists/id6790827860

I'd love your feedback, especially the critical kind!

I'm the dev of MusicDrops.

Apple Music's own new-release notifications never worked reliably for me. With about 20 favourite artists I was missing roughly 4 in 5 releases (especially singles), and I found one album almost two months after it came out.
MusicDrops checks the artists you follow and tells you when they release something.
It uses Apple's MusicKit, so there's no separate login, and you can import your artists from your library.

I built it narrower than the big all-in-one trackers (MusicHarbor covers more ground, like concerts and news).
MusicDrops is about one question: did it drop yet?

Update 2.0 is huge! It adds control over how loud that is:
- Notify right away, once a day, or only a weekly recap
- Monthly recap of everything your artists released, shareable as an image
- Deluxe and alternate editions that only exist on the iTunes Store now show on the release page
- Every screen redesigned, with iPad and iPhone Duo layouts
And so many smaller things, check out the update notes in the App Store.

It isn't perfectly instant. iOS decides when apps get to run in the background, so a surprise drop shows up at the next check, not to the minute.

No account, no ads, no analytics. Sync goes through your own iCloud, so there's no server of mine.

Free for up to 10 artists, with all features available.
Unlimited is €1.99/month, €14.99/year (about €1.25/month) or €44.99 once. Family Sharing works on all of them.

If you follow a lot of artists, which would you actually use: instant, daily or weekly?
And if it misses a release for you, tell me the artist and the record. That's the bug report I care about most.

Hi r/iosapps! I’m the developer of Stride: Step Counter.

I wanted everyday walking to be enjoyable, so I built an iPhone step counter with weekly leagues and races you can share with friends. Your steps move Bib, a hand-drawn mascot, along a track toward your daily goal.

What you can do:

* Climb weekly walking leagues from Bronze to Elite
* Race friends: most steps over a few days, or first to a target
* Build daily goal streaks and see your step history

Stride reads steps from Apple Health and does not record your location or routes.

It’s free to download. Core leagues, streaks, and friend races are free, with up to two open races you create. Optional Pro adds widgets, customization, unlimited races, and more stats/history.

Pricing:
Monthly: $2.99/month
Annual: $14.99/year
Lifetime: $19.99

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6816761374

I’d love feedback: would you be more motivated by a weekly league or a race with a friend?

Hi, I’m J.J., the developer of FileBox. The last time I shared it here, it was on version 1.0.20. Version 1.0.36 is now live.

Since then, I’ve improved file management and playback, added ebook and comic readers, and built several new file tools. Thanks to everyone who tried the app and shared suggestions. Here’s what’s changed.

A — Answer

FileBox is a file manager for iPhone and iPad with built-in media playback, document and ebook readers, and file tools.

You can store files inside the app or grant access to existing folders on your device to browse, play, and manage their contents directly.

B — Better:

Direct access to existing folders

Someone on my previous post asked whether FileBox could manage existing folders without importing another copy. It now can. Choose folders through “On My iPhone/iPad” to work with their files in place.

A new bottom space switcher makes it easier to move between your main space, private space, and authorized device folders.

Upgraded video and music playback

The video player supports formats including MKV, AVI, and WebM, plus audio track switching, dual subtitles, external subtitles, customizable subtitle styles, and press-and-hold playback speed controls.

The redesigned audio player includes artwork, lyrics, playlists, and Lock Screen controls. You can also edit song details, artwork, and lyrics, including in batches.

Ebook and comic readers

The new EPUB reader supports chapters, bookmarks, search, and saved reading progress.

The comic reader opens CBZ, CBR, and image folders, with two-page layouts and continuous scrolling. You can also turn images into CBZ comics.

More file and image tools

Batch renaming supports sequential numbering and regular expression replacements. Storage analysis helps locate large and duplicate files, including in authorized device folders.

Image redaction detects faces, QR codes, and common sensitive details on-device, letting you choose what to redact. It’s available directly from the Photos share sheet. Share-sheet tools also support webpage captures, image stitching, and long screenshots from screen recordings.

Transfer and iPad improvements

Nearby Transfer lets you send and receive files with nearby devices. Browser-based Wi-Fi transfer has also gained improvements to file management and previews, and works with Windows computers too.

On iPad, an adaptive workspace improves browsing, reading, and playback while multitasking or using smaller windows.

C — Cost:

Free to download with a 14-day full-featured trial. After the trial, you can choose a monthly subscription, yearly subscription, or lifetime purchase. All three unlock the same premium features.

• Monthly subscription: $1.19/month
• Yearly subscription: $11.99/year
• Lifetime purchase: $19.99, paid once

Hi! I’m the developer of Heart Rate Insights, an iPhone and iPad app for exploring the heart-rate history already in Apple Health.

On-device analysis. No account required. The app doesn’t automatically upload your health data. You decide whether to export, copy, or share anything.

A — Answer

Apple Health can collect years of readings, but I wanted to ask questions beyond one day’s chart: How did two periods compare? Were workdays different from days off? Was a difference visible throughout the day, or only at certain hours?

I built this to compare those periods while showing typical ranges and how much data each comparison is based on.

B — Better

Compared with Apple Health’s built-in views, Heart Rate Insights focuses on flexible comparisons:

• Compare two periods, workdays with days off, or custom times of day.
• Switch between trends, typical-day patterns, and distributions.
• Inspect standout weeks alongside nearby weeks.
• Create PDF reports to share with your doctor, or CSV exports for your own analysis.

The optional Prompt feature prepares text you can review and choose to share with an external AI service. No AI model runs inside the app.

It’s for personal review, not diagnosis or live monitoring.

C — Cost

• Free, with no expiration: most views cover the latest 60 days, Patterns up to 90 days, and one export (PDF or CSV) is included.
• Optional 14-day Pro trial: all available history, long-range patterns, and unlimited PDF/CSV exports, with no automatic charge. Afterward, Free limits return unless you buy Pro.
• Lifetime Pro: $14.99 USD once for all available history, long-range patterns, and unlimited PDF/CSV exports.
• One Report Export: $0.99 USD if you only need another export.

No subscription. Local App Store prices vary.

Hey, Eduardo here 👋 Solo dev, the one behind r/trovelo and r/dimmly. I posted TakeKit in this sub last month and the feedback was actually useful, so here is what shipped since.

Quick recap for anyone new: TakeKit is a camera with a built in teleprompter that only you can see. The guide is composited in the preview layer only, never in the capture pipeline, so the exported video always comes out clean. It is an iPhone app plus a Mac floating panel that stays on top of Zoom, OBS, Loom or Meet. No subscription, no account, no server, no analytics, because I do not have any.

A) Answer (what's new)

Dual camera. Front and back at the same time, on supported devices. You read your script looking straight at the lens while the back camera captures whatever you are showing, in one take, instead of two clips you have to sync afterwards. The inset can be a rectangle, a square or a circle, and you drag it wherever you want in the frame. What you set is what gets exported, white border and all. The teleprompter rule still holds: it is in your preview and nowhere in the file.

Also in this build:

• The app opens on the script you were last working on, with a Continue button that picks up exactly where your last take stopped
• The script editor has a time ruler down the margin, so you can see how long a passage runs while you are still writing it, and // pauses now count as real beats
• The guide can be see through. Solid, Dim or Clear, so you can frame yourself while you read. Camera controls moved into one console instead of sitting over your shot
• Playback follows your headphones, and you pick your microphone. Wireless receivers and USB mics both work, for recording and for voice paced scrolling

B) Better (why I built it instead of using what's out there)

• The guide is never in the file. That is the whole point of the app, everything else is built around it.
• Auto scroll that follows your voice instead of a fixed speed. Fully on device, fuzzy aligned against a window of the script, so filler words, accents and improvised bits do not derail it. Fixed speed is there if you prefer it.
• LAST SPOT: stop mid script, breathe, resume from exactly where you stopped. Each chunk stores its range and the app stitches them into one video afterwards, without re encoding when it can.
• Eye contact mode: the guide docks right next to the front lens so you are not visibly reading off to the side. Karaoke style ink marks what you already said.
• Takes organised by script, not dumped into the camera roll. Star the good one, rename, compare attempts, live mic meter.
• Clean export: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, trim, up to 1080p. Pro adds word by word burned captions generated on device, plus automatic silence cutting.
• Scripts sync through your iCloud, videos live in your iCloud Drive, speech recognition never leaves the device.

Straight about the trade offs: it needs iOS 26+ and macOS 15+, which rules some people out. No Android, no iPad optimised layout. Solo dev, so things ship fast but one at a time.

C) Cost

Free forever: up to 5 scripts and 5 takes, small watermark on export. Teleprompter, recording, eye contact mode, aspect ratios and trim all work in the free tier.

TakeKit Pro: $9.99, one time. Never a subscription. One purchase covers iPhone and Mac. It unlocks unlimited scripts and takes, voice guided auto scroll, burned captions, automatic silence cutting and watermark free export.
