every app we make follows the same rules. no ads. no subscriptions. no in-app purchases. if it needs an account, it's sign in with apple and nothing more. small apps that don't ask for anything.

you don't need a budget to start. you need to see where this month is going. that's the whole idea behind monetor. no bank login. eligible apple pay taps log through shortcuts, scan a receipt, add cash. live on the app store, free on iphone: apps.apple.com/us/app/moneto…

Owlish for iPhone and iPad is live on the App Store, and it's free. I built Owlish because most of what we learn from now is scattered: a YouTube lecture, a research paper, an article saved for later, a class you sat through once. Owlish turns any of these into a study pack you can come back to: • A clean reader for the source • Notes and flashcards • A quiz to check what stuck • A tutor that answers from your own material, not the open web On iPhone you can record a lecture, with the board on camera or just the audio, and keep studying offline. If you also use the Mac app, links, lectures and packs move between your devices, and your iPhone works as a clicker when you present slides. There's no account and no tracking. Your library stays on your devices. For AI, you can use Apple Intelligence on your device or a provider you choose with your own key, and Owlish asks before anything is sent. The iPhone and iPad app is free. The Mac app has a 7 day free trial. Download: apps.apple.com/app/id6824800… More: owlish.site I'd love to hear what you study with it.

I made an iPhone app that scores your Japanese pronunciation on-device — every mora, from lesson one. It's called Yowatari. 30 lessons from absolute zero, fully offline, no account, no ads. Lessons 1–5 free, full course $4.99 once. No subscription. A thread on why I built it 👇

I built a voice recorder I actually wanted to use, for iPhone. Slide the scrubber to fly through a recording, watch your words appear live as you speak, then trim and split it right in the app. No ads, no accounts, no subscription. It’s live today.

I'm a solo dev with a lawn care business, and I built a $4.99 Mac app because my own media library was a mess. No subscription. Preview every rename, undo any batch. apps.apple.com/us/app/id6761…
