Dev here. Kanji Finder has been $1.99 since 2015. I just rebuilt it from scratch for iOS 26 (version 2.0), and it's free for the next two weeks.

- Search 1,235 kanji (all the school-grade kanji plus the JLPT N2 ones) in Japanese, romaji or English

- Stroke order, onyomi/kunyomi with audio, example words

- Save a kanji and it becomes a flashcard with spaced repetition

- Quizzes: meaning, reading, or listen-and-pick

- Kanji of the Day widget for Home Screen and Lock Screen

- No account, no ads, no in-app purchases

App store link

Feedback welcome, especially from anyone studying for the JLPT.

Uttra is free until 31 October, then back to $6.99. No in app purchases at any price, and whatever you grab now is yours to keep.

Dictation for Apple silicon Macs that runs on the machine. Hold Option-Space, speak, release, and the text lands on your clipboard, or types into the field you're in if you turn that on. If you've looked at Wispr Flow and didn't want a subscription or your dictation going through someone's servers, that's the gap this fills. It doesn't do AI rewriting though, it types what you said and you can correct vocabulary for learning. The speech model is bundled, so there's no first-run download, and Whisper Large v3 and Turbo are optional installs that also run locally if you have the ram.

Before you grab it: Apple silicon and macOS 14.4+, around 470 MB, text arrives when you release the key rather than as you speak, and you can switch between lighter and larger models as preferred. Password fields refuse automatic insertion by design, though the text stays on your clipboard.

Hi, I'm the solo developer of Glasscribe.

I wanted live subtitles for anything playing on my Mac, like Zoom calls, YouTube or podcasts, without sending audio to the cloud. Nothing felt native or light enough, so I built my own.

Watch the 30s demo

What it does:

• Floating subtitle overlay on top of any app, with adjustable opacity and font size
• Captures system audio or mic, no virtual audio driver needed
• Live translation across 19 languages, fully offline
• Speech recognition in 30+ languages, all on your Mac
• Sessions are auto-saved and searchable
• Dictation: press a shortcut and the text pastes at your cursor

The deal:

• $12 → $6 lifetime with code GLASSCRIBE50
• Valid until October 31
• 3-day free trial with full access, so you can try it first
• No account, no subscription, no data leaves your Mac

Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later. Signed and notarized by Apple.

I'll be around in the comments, so feedback and feature requests are very welcome!

Hello there!

I built Zwind out of a concept I'm really passionate about: "You decide your content."

Basically, Zwind is a personal content hub that natively runs a bunch of WebDAV servers right on your phone. Yes, your phone. It turns your device into a portable, mobile, and powerful server that you can carry everywhere.

Why a server? Because it makes your content live, easy to put, and easy to fetch. It makes your media universally accessible. You can mount your feeds, IPTV channels, or web media as local folders and access them using any standard WebDAV client, file manager, or media player (like Infuse or VLC). And it completely beats things like AirDrop or direct P2P transfer when sharing files with friends. With AirDrop, you both need to be right there at the same time. But with your phone as a server, your friends can drop files off or grab stuff from you whenever they want, asynchronously, on their own schedule.

Key Features:

• Multi-Source Projection: Map RSS (Blogs, News, YouTube, Reddit, Podcasts), Web Media, IPTV, and Emby libraries into WebDAV folders or custom timelines.
• Media Sniffer & Rule Builder: Built-in browser that can detect/extract media from webpages and convert them into virtual WebDAV files.
• Universal Backend: Supports local storage, iCloud Drive, SMB, and some Cloud Drives.
• Built-in Viewers & AI Agent: Integrated players/editors, plus Zwind MCP to let AI agents automatically write WebMedia rules or subscribe to RSS.

I built this for people who want to freely access the content they actually own and want. We already have RSS, IPTV, Web Media, and Emby resolvers, and I’m constantly adding more. I’d love to know what resolvers you’d like to see next!

I am making the newly added IPTV resolver FREE, discounting several other resolvers, and offering a discount on "Zwind VIP"!

Resolvers

1. IPTV Resolver: $6.99 → FREE
   • Redeem: IPTV Offer Code
2. Web Media Projection Resolver: $6.99 → $0.99
   • Redeem: Web Media Offer Code
3. RSS Projection Resolver: $6.99 → $2.99
   • Redeem: RSS Offer Code

Zwind VIP

1. VIP Lifetime (Unlocks all resolvers & premium features): $19.99 → $8.99 (55% OFF)
   • Redeem: Lifetime Offer Code

Let me know what you think or if you run into any issues!

Hi, solo dev here. Likes and reviews mean a lot to me.

The deal

The Lifetime Pass ($9.99, one-time, not a subscription) is free until October 31 with code OCTO:

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6789852144&code=OCTO

Download the app first, then open the link. It works with Family Sharing.

What it is

I built this for my daughter. She's two. Your kid picks a tracing set, like a bouncing ball, a hopping bunny or a flying bird, and traces about 20 soft outline pages one at a time. Then they tap play, the outlines disappear, and only their drawing moves. It's a real flipbook animation made of their own wobbly lines.

Built for a toddler

Most of the work went into cutting things until a two-year-old could use it without me sitting next to her.

No words. Every button is a picture.
No menus and no scrolling. The whole toolbar is two fixed rows that are always on screen.
Ten clearly different colors and three brush sizes. Nothing more.
The previous page shows through faintly, so lining up the next drawing just works.
Tracing your own video only asks for about 8 drawings per second, so a small kid can finish it.
Hit the trash button by accident? One undo brings the page back.
Purchases and settings only open after an adult answers a quick question.

Also included

Trace over your own videos from the camera, Photos or a video link.
Blank flipbooks, stamps, and voice recording while the animation loops.
Saves to Photos as a video. Finger or Apple Pencil.

Free vs Lifetime Pass

Free: 3 tracing sets, 3 saved artworks, 1 video import, blank flipbooks up to 10 pages and 15 seconds of voice.
Lifetime Pass: every tracing set (including future ones), unlimited artworks, videos, pages and recording time, and no Palang Book card at the end of saved videos.

If your kid is around 2 to 4, I'd love to hear what they got stuck on. Happy to answer anything in the comments.

Hi, I'm one of the developers of My Dino Museum, a fossil-digging game for kids aged 6 to 9.

Kids uncover fossils, brush them clean, assemble skeletons and put their finds on display in their own museum. Facts are read aloud. The full version includes 120 dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, all 20 dig sites, plus matching, path-puzzle and guessing games.

Hey everyone, hope this is ok to post - just posting this the once

I just released a hospital builder called Bedside Manner.
I grew up LOVING classic theme hospital and wanted something with that same chaotic, quirky vibe that actually plays well on a phone or iPad.

You build out clinics, hire staff, and try to keep patient queues from spiralling out of control. Also some nods towards the classic gameplay

There are no adds or subscriptions like lots of others

Most of the game free to try out:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bedside-manor-hospital-tycoon/id6818650368

If you end up liking it, I set up a $0.99 sale link you can claim here 20K codes available:

Hi everyone, I'm the solo developer of Not My Tempo, a voice controlled metronome for iPhone.

This app came out of my own practice room. Every time I wanted to bump the tempo up a few BPM, I had to stop playing violin, take my hands off the instrument, unlock the phone, find the slider, nudge it, and count myself back in. Then do it again five minutes later. Each time it was only a few seconds, but over a session it added up to a lot of time spent poking at a screen instead of playing, and it kept breaking my focus right when I was getting into it.

So I built the metronome I wanted: you just say "faster" or "tempo 120" and keep playing. It started as a fix for my own annoyance, and I'm sharing it in the hope that someone else gets some practice time back too.

New in this update, all free:

Start and stop with your instrument. Record a short phrase, like E then C, and playing it starts or stops the click. Each note has to ring for a moment, so quick notes in your playing don't set it off.

A louder click that cuts through when you play with a band or practice in a loud room.

Smooth tempo changes while it's playing, with a light tick under your finger as you drag the tempo slider.

I have offer codes ready, so the Pro Lifetime unlock (normally 9.99 USD, one time purchase, no subscription) is free for anyone who wants it.

Redeem here (opens the App Store directly):

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6781537149&code=OCTO

If the link doesn't open, go to App Store, tap your profile picture, Redeem Gift Card or Code, and enter OCTO.

App Store page: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6781537149

What the app does:

The app listens with its own mic, so you don't need to turn on iOS Voice Control or any accessibility setting. Commands are English words.

Free features (voice control included):

Say start and stop to play and pause

Say faster and slower for 5 BPM, up and down for 1 BPM

Say a number like tempo 120 to jump straight to it

Say double or half, quarter, eighth, triplet or sixteenth

Say louder, quieter or mute

Say help to see every command on screen

1 to 8 beats per measure with an accented downbeat

Three beat views: bouncing ball, orbit and ring

Tap tempo, and a timing check that shows how close your taps land to the beat

The screen stays on while you play, and it remembers your last tempo

What Pro adds (free with the code):

Practice mode that raises the tempo every few bars up to your target speed

Accent editor to set every click in the measure loud, soft or silent, saved as presets per song

Chromatic tuner

If you rely on iOS Voice Control, you can switch off the app's mic and drive every button by name, and everything has VoiceOver labels.

No account and no ads. Speech recognition runs on device on iPhones that support it.

I'd really appreciate any feedback or bug reports, especially from drummers and anyone practicing in a loud room. If you find it useful, an App Store review helps a lot. I'll be in the comments to answer questions.

Wrap-up: Thanks so much all for trying out that the app (almost done with the 500 codes!)
Please leave a review if you like it, it really helps !
Some new features will also be released in the upcoming months, enjoy

Hey everyone! Solo dev here. I got tired of football apps turning into betting casinos: odds everywhere, autoplay video, and push alerts that spoil the goal before I've even opened the app. So I built Footicks.

Pro free (normally $19.99/year), 500 redemptions.

What it does:

- Every team in one feed: your club, your national team and whole competitions, shown as match tickets on a stadium board.

- No Spoilers (free!). Hide scores for one match, one team or everything, across the app AND the widgets. Notifications go silent.

- Club widgets with your crest, also free.

- Live Globe: every match being played right now, anywhere on earth.

- Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Champions League and many more. 35 languages.

- No ads, no betting, no account needed.

Pro adds head to head history, match stats, the full season calendar with iPhone Calendar sync, and up to 20 teams (free is 3).

How to redeem:

1. Open this link on your iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6787270753&code=FOOTICKSOFFER2637 (the App Store installs Footicks and applies the offer).
2. Or enter FOOTICKSOFFER2637: App Store > profile picture > Redeem Gift Card or Code.

Tell me which league you want better coverage for. And if you enjoy it, an App Store review means a lot!

Hi everyone

I created TimerTodd because most timer apps are either full of hyper-stimulating animations or display fast-ticking seconds that cause anxiety for young toddlers who don't yet understand abstract seconds.

Key features: • Toddler-friendly visual pacing: Shows whole minutes only—no confusing second counters. • Calm, intentional palette: Soft tones (Fox Orange, Warm Amber, Sage Green) designed to avoid sensory overload. • 100% Private & Clean: No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking, and works completely offline.

It's currently on a 100% free sale on Google Play. I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions from parents and educators!

Free until 12 Oct @ 17:00 UTC
