Happy Sunday, r/apple. I shoot a lot of photos, and my camera roll was a mess. Every cleanup app I tried did the same thing: swipe left, swipe right, done. That's fine for clearing screenshots, but not for a library I curate and care about as a hobbyist photographer.

I built SortGlass to solve my problem. It's meant to feel like a tool and extension of Apple's Photos app. SortGlass includes 5 tabs:

Organize: (the heart of the app): one photo at a time. Swipe down to favorite, up to send to Trash, sideways for the next photo. Tap an album under the photo and it's filed there. What sets it apart from other "photo organizer" apps (and I've tried a LOT): it uses Photos' own star ratings, so you can rate 1–5 stars on iOS 27, and Details shows each photo's camera info, metadata and location. Made a mistake? Undo and Redo are built in, with a history of your last 100 actions. Nothing is deleted until you review Trash and confirm, and then it goes to Recently Deleted in Photos, where iOS keeps it for 30 days.

Library: your whole Photos library. Sort by date taken or recently added, pinch to zoom the grid, select a batch to favorite, trash or file in one go, and see star ratings right on the thumbnails. You can even drag and drop photo items into other apps like messages, just like in Apple's Photos (I personally use this feature quite a bit and couldn't find this functionality in other photo-organizer apps).

Browse: search with natural language. Search can also find items by camera, lens, focal length, file type or date, and filter by Unsorted, Favorites, Videos, Screenshots, "On This Day", Rated and more. Combine filters, save the ones you use often, and open the results in Library or Organize. Similar & Duplicates, Cleanup Suggestions and automatic "Trips & Events" identification is cincluded for faster even faster sorting.

Albums: all your albums and folders. Pin your favorites to Organize, sort A to Z or in your own order, create or delete them, and open any album to clean it up. The Vault is an encrypted place for private photos and videos, locked with a password, passcode or Face ID. I wanted a place where I can safely store recovery keys, credit cards, and anything confidential. Vault syncs seamlessly with your devices, so everything stored in there is safely stored in the cloud.

More: This is the tab with all the app's settings, configurations, and extra details. It includes fully customizable themes where you can select the app's look and colors, over 20 app icons, keyboard shortcuts (for iPad and Mac), optional iCloud sync you control, and a User Guide. I am a multi-device user. One of my priorities was ensuring that I can work on-the-go with my phone, and enjoy a larger screen to sort through my photos on my MacBook. With iCloud, my customized themes, on-device photo-search scans, encrypted Vault and settings seamlessly sync.

It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with Split View, Stage Manager and click-and-drag selection. No account, no ads, no analytics.

Pricing: Free covers swiping, albums, undo and history, search and the basic filters, with 100 Trash and album actions a week. Pro removes the limit and adds star ratings, saved filters, faster cleanup tools, and every theme and icon: $3.99/month or $24.99/year (7-day free trial), or a one-time Lifetime purchase. **Lifetime is $2.99 through Tuesday** (normally $49.99).

I want to acknowledge that AI (Specifically both Codex and Claude Code) were used to create this app. That being said, I do want to ensure that I have implemented a lot of thought and direction into providing every detail and feature into it. I wanted it to be a seamless experience, filled with power-user functionality and complete user-selected customization to make the app feel like it's truly yours. I'm VERY interested in feedback and comments and questions are welcome to help keep the app progress in development.

If you take your photography seriously, what would make a tool like this worth keeping on your phone? And if you try it and something feels off, tell me. I'm reading all day.

Hey since it is promo Sunday I thought I'd share this here: I'm a dad and an iOS developer, and I built this for myself over the past year. Not a company, no ads, no account, no subscription.

The problem I had: I like listening to music with noise cancelling enabled in the morning, but I could never actually relax with headphones in, because I'd be half-listening for one of my kids to wake up the whole time. Defeats the point. I tried "Live Listen", but the audio quality was terrible and constant noise coming through the phone's mic makes it unusable for me.

What the app does: You leave your iPhone in (or just outside) the room with your child and keep your AirPods in. The app listens through the phone's mic. When it hears something above the room's own noise floor, it pauses whatever you're playing and streams the room into your ears. When things go quiet again, your music comes back.

So it's less a "baby monitor" and more a sound-triggered intercom that gets out of the way of your music.

A few cool things I worked hard to get right:

• It calibrates to the room's baseline instead of using a fixed volume threshold, so a humidifier or a fan doesn't keep setting it off. You pick a sensitivity (how many dB above baseline counts as "something").

• It opens in about a quarter second, then stays open at least 10 seconds plus a quiet period before handing you back your music — otherwise you get whiplash every time she shifts in her crib.

• It's silent until it hears something. No constant hiss.

• Nothing is recorded or uploaded. Audio goes mic → your ears, and that's it.

• If monitoring ever stops for any reason, it sends you a notification rather than just dying quietly. That one took the longest to get right, because an app like this failing silently is worse than not having it.

Things to keep in my:

• Range is Bluetooth range. Your AirPods pair to the phone that's in the kid's room. Through a wall or two it's fine; across a big house it isn't. This is the real limitation and it's the thing most people will run into. It is not a Wi-Fi monitor and won't work from the yard.

• It uses up your phone. The phone is the monitor, so it's sitting in the nursery, not in your pocket.

• No video, no history, no playback. If you want a camera and a log, buy a real monitor — this isn't trying to be one.

• It can't tell a cry from a truck going past. It tells you something happened and lets you hear it. You're still the one deciding.

I use it every day now, but it took me a while to trust it, and I'd rather you be skeptical than disappointed.

Hopefully there are other parents out there that might appreciate this: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/half-an-ear/id6802771590

Hey everyone! I'd like to share a little project I've been working on and recently launched on the App Store.

I've always been interested in personal development and the idea of building better habits. Whether it's breaking a bad habit, staying consistent with a goal, or simply making small improvements every day, I wanted to create something that could help make that process easier.

I've also always appreciated Apple's design language and the native iOS experience, so I decided to build HabitLuma using Swift and native iOS technologies. I wanted the app to feel right at home on Apple devices, with a clean interface, smooth animations, and features that take advantage of the iOS ecosystem.

I noticed that a lot of habit-tracking apps focus on checking off daily tasks, but I wanted to take a slightly different approach. I wanted something that could track your progress over time, keep you accountable, and give you a reason to stay motivated.

So I built HabitLuma, an iOS app designed to help you quit unwanted habits and build positive ones.

The app lets you create personalized trackers, monitor your progress, set daily or weekly targets, and celebrate milestones along the way. You can also customize your experience with widgets, Live Activities, reminders, and shareable progress cards.

I've spent a lot of time working on the design, features, and overall experience, and I'm continuing to improve the app with regular updates.

You can check it out here if you're interested: download on App Store

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for features you'd like to see. I'm still actively developing the app and would love to hear what you think.

Thanks for taking the time to read, have a great day!

Horology is an app with a timegrapher to help you keep track of how your mechanical watches are running. The #1 focus was privacy, nothing leaves your device (unless you’re sending me feedback and choose to attach screenshots or a timegrapher recording).

Website: https://alcove-labs.work/
App store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/horology-timegrapher/id6827787406

Apps on iOS with similar functionality send your recordings off of your device, require subscriptions or prioritize functionality other than timegraphing making it more of an afterthought. I also wanted something that worked for everyone with a large portion of my development and testing being for accessibility features.

No subscriptions, a pro option ($9.99) to add some additional features but all core functionality is FREE. An optional "tip jar" is there just in case people feel compelled.

How does it work? It uses your iOS device’s microphone to listen to the distinct “tick-tock” of a mechanical watch’s escapement, then locks onto a beats per hour rate to tell you how many seconds per day fast or slow your watch is running. This helps you gauge if a watch is running well or needs service, and tracks it over time to see if something has changed recently.

Would love to get feedback if you have any!

Hi r/apple, I’m the solo developer of Verseela, and today is Promo Sunday, so I’m sharing it here.

What it is: a quiet feed of Bible verses, short prayers, Christian quotes and affirmations, shown one at a time. It’s not a full Bible reader. It’s built for a small daily habit, with a verse on your phone without opening another noisy app.

Things you might like as an Apple user:

* Widgets: Home Screen widgets in several sizes, plus a Lock Screen widget that shows a new verse through the day without opening the app.
* A personal plan built from your goals: when you first open the app, you answer a few short questions. What you want from it (start the day with God’s word, find peace and hope, strengthen your faith, memorize verses…), what you need from God right now, what kind of words help you most, and how your walk with God is going. Verseela uses your answers to pick the verses, quotes, prayers and affirmations in your feed. You can view or change your goals any time.
* Fully offline: all content ships in the app (SQLite), so it works on a plane or with no signal.
* Morning and evening prayers: a longer prayer for each, separate from the short ones in the feed.
* 14 topics (anxiety, strength, peace, gratitude…), favorites and sharing.
* 9 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Indonesian and Korean.
* Dark mode and gentle reminders.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/verseela/id6816929323

I’d really like feedback on the widgets, the plan questions and the first-launch experience. I’ll be around in the comments all day to answer questions.

CmdFocus is a drop-in replacement for the system Cmd+Tab app switcher, with one major difference: it only shows apps that are currently visible on screen.

That means, if you've done any of the following to an app:

• Hidden it with Cmd+H

• Minimized all of its windows

• Put it on a difference space/desktop

...it won't show up in the app switcher when you hit Cmd+Tab. This means you easily keep your app switcher limited to the apps you're currently trying to focus on, and hide all the rest.

I was inspired to make CmdFocus because I kept idly switching over to Slack at work, and then would get distracted. So far, it's really been helping me stay on task.

The app is open source and free to use forever. Check it out on GitHub, and download the binary from the latest release

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi r/apple 👋,

I’m the developer of Trippin, a photo journal built around your existing photo library.

iOS 27 added features that let apps read, edit, and clear captions in Apple Photos.

If you use captions to remember names, places, or what happened on a trip, that text can matter just as much as the photo. I wanted a way to keep a separate copy while making those captions easier to edit and browse.

Trippin lets you:

- Import captions from Photos: preview them alongside their photos, then select individual captions or import all.

- Export captions back to Photos: review which existing captions would be replaced and choose which replacements to allow.

The rest of Trippin is a travel and everyday journal: write alongside photos and videos, add entries without a photo, organize trips into sections, and explore them on a map. It references your existing photos instead of duplicating the library. No ads, no in-app purchases, no data tracking!

You can get Trippin for free on the App Store.

Let me know what you think!

Hey r/apple, I'm Julian, a business informatics student in Germany and the solo dev behind StepGrab. Some of you might remember my post from a few weeks ago.

If you want to try Pro, I made a page just for r/apple with some codes.

I know Promo Sunday posts get downvoted a lot. I'm a student building this next to uni, alone, so if it's not for you that's totally fine. But if you have a second, I'd rather get a comment telling me what's bad than a silent downvote.

What the app does

You press record and do a task once, like setting up a VPN or changing a setting in Outlook. Every click becomes a step: a screenshot from the moment you clicked, a numbered arrow on the spot, and a short sentence like "Click Save". When you stop, the guide is basically done. In the editor you can move arrows, rewrite steps and black out names or emails before you share it.

Everything runs on your Mac. No account, nothing gets uploaded, recording works offline.

Why I built it

At my working student job I became the guy everyone asks where a setting is. A proper guide meant fifteen screenshots, cropping, red arrows in Preview and typing every step. Half an hour for a two minute task, and the next macOS update made half of it wrong again. I got lazy enough to build a tool instead.

What's new in 1.7

• Auto redact. Turn it on in Settings > Recording and StepGrab blacks out emails, phone numbers, addresses, login data and payment details while you record. It's off by default. You can also run it later on one step or all steps. It doesn't catch everything, so still look over your steps before you share them.

• Redact the same text in all steps. Drag a bar over a name once and it's gone in every step.

• Continue recording from here and Recapture step. Forgot a click in the middle? Right click a thumbnail and record just that part again instead of starting over.

• Four styles for the arrow and badge (Standard, Fine, Curved, Focus), plus Customize for the details.

• Contrast help. If the arrow is hard to see on the background, StepGrab adds an outline and tells you. You can turn it off.

• Smaller stuff: your first click after pressing record now counts, you pick the export format right at the Export button, and redacted steps don't show the app name in exports anymore.

What moved to free

The free version used to be pretty limited. You could try it, but you couldn't really see what it does. So I moved almost everything to free:

GIF export was already free. Free exports now get a small "made with stepgrab.net" mark, and free guides still hold up to 15 steps.

What stays Pro is mostly the stuff companies care about: removing that mark, your own logo, multiple brand profiles, custom file names and the guide language. Pro is $2.99/month, $12.99/year or $44.99 once if you hate subscriptions as much as I do.

How I made it

It's a native Swift app. The hard parts were not the ones I expected:

• Menus close the moment you click, so a normal screenshot after the click misses them. StepGrab keeps a short rolling buffer of frames, so the open menu is still in the picture.

• The App Store version is sandboxed and can't ask the system what you clicked. It reads the button name with Apple's on-device text recognition instead, which is right most of the time but not always. The notarized download from my site can use Accessibility and falls back to text recognition when an app answers too slowly.

• Auto redact runs on your Mac too. Finding an IBAN or an address in a random screenshot without sending it anywhere was a fun rabbit hole, and it still misses things sometimes.

• The contrast check sounds simple, but deciding when an arrow is "hard to see" on a random screenshot took a few tries.

About AI

Honest version: I write a lot of the code with Claude Code. I review every change myself, test it and decide how things should work. The first rough version took a weekend with AI help, everything after that was months of detail work and bug fixing.

In the app itself, the step sentences start as templates from what you clicked. With Pro and Apple Intelligence on macOS 26, Apple's on-device model can polish them without changing names or what was clicked. Nothing leaves your Mac and you can turn it off. Text recognition is Apple's Vision framework, also on-device.

If you write docs or explain stuff to coworkers a lot: what would make you actually use something like this? And if something breaks, please tell me, I read everything.

https://stepgrab.net/try/apple/?src=reddit-apple

I'm the developer. Lander is a Reddit client for iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Macs, and there's a separate native app for Vision Pro.

You can pick card, compact or text only feeds, set your own theme and colors, and change text size and density. Comments are threaded, you can view media and comments side by side, and you can translate posts from the long press menu. It also does DMs and chat, modmail and mod queue, multiple accounts and Face ID lock. On iPad and Mac the panes are resizable, and settings and favorite subs sync over iCloud.

Requests go through Columbia, an open source relay I wrote that keeps who you are separate from what you're reading. You can run your own.

Everything is free. The tip jar and the optional supporter sub don't unlock anything.

Happy to answer questions.

Hey r/apple,

I shared my app Soundscaper, which I've been working on for around four years, here back in April and received a lot of helpful feedback. Since then, I've been working on quite a few improvements and wanted to share a little update!

Soundscaper lets you mix different sounds to create your own soundscapes for sleep, focus and relaxation.

Here's what's new since my last post:

iPad support (something that was requested last time!)

3D audio and new sound filters

Apple Shortcuts integration, also requested here on Reddit

Lots of new sounds, with more being added regularly

Light Mode, timer improvements and plenty of smaller fixes

The app is free to download and includes several sounds you can use without paying. For additional sounds and functions, you can choose between a one-time purchase or a subscription.

App Store: Soundscape Maker: Soundscaper App - App Store

I'd love to hear your feedback again! Whether it's new sound ideas, feature requests or things that could be improved, I'm always happy to hear your suggestions and try to implement them.

Thanks!

Hey r/apple,

I take one medicine regularly and still sometimes wonder, “Did I already take it?”

With my dog, Lucky, it was, “Did I give him everything?”

He has type 1 diabetes and lost his vision due to cataracts. Between his cataract surgery and other health complications, some dose times involve several tablets, eye drops, insulin and syrups. I’d remember giving him something, but question whether I’d finished everything that was due. His doses and schedules change frequently too.

That led me to build Medo, a medicine reminder and tracker for iPhone and iPad.

I wanted Lucky’s medicines and mine in separate profiles, with one place to see what’s due and what’s already been logged. It also works for people managing medication for a child, partner or parent.

It supports:

1. Separate profiles for yourself, family and pets.
2. Flexible schedules, including alternate days and different amounts at different times.
3. Dose units such as tablets, drops, mL and IU.
4. Meal-based reminders using your saved meal times.
5. Stock tracking, low-supply reminders, dose history and PDF reports.

There are also interactive Home Screen widgets for quick logging, Live Activities for upcoming doses, and an Apple Watch app.

Free: Three active medicines, one care profile, basic reminders and 30 days of history.

Medo Pro: Unlimited medicines, multiple profiles, advanced schedules, full insights and reports, and Apple Watch support.

US pricing is $1.49 weekly, $24.99 yearly or $49.99 lifetime. Prices vary by country. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. No ads.

Medo on the App Store

I’m Sanket, the solo developer. I build and maintain Medo myself and earn money from Pro purchases.

Happy to answer questions. If you try it, I’d love to hear what feels useful or frustrating, especially when setting up your medication schedule.

Hi, I am the developer of AdBlockTube.

I tried a few other adblocking Youtube and YT Music apps before making this, they all had problems or felt like a clunky web view so I built one with a native Liquid Glass UI and tried to optimize the shit out of it so it feels like an actual native app.

Also added a few features that I really missed from the actual YouTube app like CarPlay and spatial audio for AirPods, plus extras like Live Activities for sleep timers, sponsor block, privacy lock with Face ID, widget support and options to block recommendations or hide Shorts entirely. It blocks ads (ofc), plays in the background, supports PiP and handles Shorts and YouTube Music natively.

There is a pro version for a few extra things like CarPlay, a queue, and removing the banner but you really dont need it (all the main stuff is free)

Here is the link if you want to give it a try: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6827962789

(Also if anyone wants to try the pro features, just leave a comment (or you can just dm me) and I'll give you a free 1 month code. And just tell me what features you want to see and I'll add them if possible)

Edit: hey everyone, thank you for all your feedback and suggestions! I can't keep up with the DMs anymore so here are more codes (if they run out you can still DM me):

A year ago, I booked flights for my dream trip: a month-long solo campervan journey across Te Waipounamu - New Zealand's South Island. Planning what to pack for everything from city days to South Island hikes quickly became overwhelming. So I decided to revive an old idea of mine: to build a focused native Apple-ecosystem app to help me prepare and get ready for my trip. As a deeply chaotic person, I wanted one place to keep my journey details, packing lists that would be generated by a smart system, and generally, see all the info about my destination that I usually always Google for.

Version 1 has been downloaded by thousands of users. Recently, I released the largest update so far: journeybot 2.0. I'm so excited about it. It brings the app one step closer to my goal: a one-stop-shop for all the travel-related details that will help me de-stress and declutter my travelling.

Multi-stop journeys

Imagine flying into a new city, driving to the coast, and spending time in the mountains in between. Imagine it's on a European road trip: you'll visit Czechia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Croatia. You add all these stops, and the nights you'll spend at each, and journeybot works out the dates and displays the route on a map. Each stop shows its weather forecast, local time, currency, and destination essentials, including a comprehensive tipping guide, which shows how much and whether at all you should tip in restaurants, taxis, or for hotel services.

Packing lists

The packing list considers the journey as a whole, rather than treating every stop as a separate holiday. journeybot uses Apple Intelligence to generate the packing list (or you can create it by hand if you wish), supporting both the private on-device model (works offline), or the faster and more intelligent private cloud compute model Apple introduced in iOS 27.

I also wanted the app to be useful in the moments just before you start packing. You can add your own bags, split items between them, and then reuse the same setup in packing templates. So your photo gear can have its own template and bag, and it will be included each time you select Photography as one of your journey activities. The new Packing mode helps you focus on packing by presenting one item at a time (looks particularly good on iPhone Duo!). Photo stickers let you photograph each item and put a cutout sticker to your list. And, just to be sure nothing goes sideways, you can save and print out your whole packing list as a PDF.

Your dreams and memories

Often, I know I want to go somewhere, someday. Now, I can add trip ideas to my Bucket List, and see an analysis of what's the best time to visit based on the destination and activities. Then, when I'm ready, I can just easily convert the idea to a real journey, and start planning.

All my past trips now show up in a Passport, with stamps, travel achievements, travel distances, and an option to import previous trips by scanning my Photo Library. I'm particularly fond of this feature, as bragging about travelling is something my friends love and hate me for at the same time.

All your devices

journeybot now offers a new dedicated focused packing mode, which shines particularly well on the larger devices, including iPhone Duo, iPad, or now also the Mac (a fully native app with an experimental local MCP for connecting with your favorite assistant, which can see all your journeys, help you plan, create even more personal packing lists, or sort your previous packing lists into reusable templates). For those inclined to look at smaller screens, a new Apple Watch app also gives you the option to pack right from your wrist.

The usual

Other destination essentials, as before: local time, currency conversion that works offline, weather (historical averages for journeys far in the future, real forecast as the journey approaches). Helpful pre-trip notifications. Always/never-pack items. Reusable packing templates. PDF export, visual packing. Full Apple-ecosystem integration, iCloud sync, Apple Intelligence features.

Pricing

journeybot is a free private account-less and ad-less app which allows you to try out most of the features. The available premium upgrade unlocks some of the more advanced features and lifts all the limits (free users get up to 3 journeys, up to 3 reusable packing templates, 1 smart packing list generation). The following pricing applies to the US market, for other markets the pricing is adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity.

• premium monthly - $4.99/month

• premium yearly - $24.99/year

• premium lifetime - one-time purchase, yours forever - $39.99

I built a free Apple TV application to watch 2orbs TV, our 24/7 independent music video channel designed to run on a big screen combining original music, animated music videos created with AI.

What’s inside:

• 24/7 Live Stream

• On-Demand Catalogue where you can browse episodes and check track/creator credits

• 100% Free: No account required, no subscriptions, and no ad interruptions

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6803515482

This is very not wife-approved. I’ll probably have to return this thing. She has a 14 Pro and can’t add reminders or shopping list items to a HomeView.

Earlier this week, iOS 27.2.1 launched alongside companion updates like macOS 27.2.1, watchOS 27.2.1.

Notably missing was tvOS 27.2.1. But the update’s absence now makes more sense, as Apple has confirmed that tvOS 27.2.1 introduces Siri AI support for select Apple TV 4K models.

Apple’s website has a newly updated support document that lists requirements for Siri AI on Apple TV. It says you need:

tvOS 27.2.1 on Apple TV 4K (2nd generation and later) and a Siri AI-enabled, paired device nearby

Although Apple has not yet specified launch timing for tvOS 27.2.1, it could launch as soon as today, or else early next week.

Apple’s website says, you’ll need a 2nd generation Apple TV 4K or later plus another paired Siri AI-enabled device, like a recent iPhone, to get the new Siri experience in tvOS.
