I’m curious to discover more stuff that exists in the App realm, there must be some small indie apps we don’t know about everywhere
Data Jar: When you use iOS Shortcuts this is a great way to store persistent simple data with iCloud Sync
These have been around for quite a while, but I recently learned about clipboard managers. I haven’t met someone who uses one, perhaps because it is an inconspicuous tool. Regardless, I love being able to quickly paste text that I use frequently!
I’m still testing them, so I can’t really say “this one’s the best”, but here’s one: https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/
Traffick Cam: Help combat sex trafficking by uploading photos of hotel rooms from your travels
Traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements. These photographs are evidence that can be used to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. In order to use these photos, however, investigators must be able to determine where the photos were taken.
This apps seems to be poorly rated. What has your experience been?
There seems to be little information online about the organization who runs it, Exchange Initiative. They have an inactive Facebook account and an abandoned website. I don’t see myself using this without having more assurance on its efficacy and privacy policies
Wow, I am, impressed to see something like this exists
Lots.
- Spectroid: a realtime frequency analysis of sounds from microphone (Fast Fourier transform)
- The Powder Toy: a falling sand sandbox, where you can play with and mix and react various elements.
- Sketchbook: app to draw, lots of pencil styles
I’m not sure whether they fit the “indie” category, tho.
I use YouCut to condense short porn vids into very short highlight loops
ShareWaste. You can sign up that you have a compost pile or chicken to feed, etc, and people with food scraps can find places to “donate” to! I have 3 or 4 regular contributers to my compost pile!
This reminds me of tinyapps.org . I loved this resource in the early aughts.
I make an email app called Port87. It’s better than any other email apps (imo), because it organizes all your email for you.
It’s still behind a waitlist, because I’m working out the kinks (damn kinky software).
How is the labeling feature different from plus sub addressing (ex: [email protected]) and what platform(s) is the app for? If it says on your site, I missed it
Well, it is subaddressing, but has more related features on top of that. It automatically labels emails based on the address, and allows you to set some settings for that label, like mark as read, send push notifications, show in the “Aggbox” (the equivalent of the inbox), and screen new senders. That last one is important, because it means you can use labels for communicating with real people, and labels for getting email from automated senders (like your account email).
Right now, it’s a progressive web app. I’m working on a mobile app and IMAP support (so it will work with any email client). I’m also working on custom domain support, so you can bring your own domain and if you end up wanting to move somewhere else, you can keep all the same addresses you set up.
Thank you for the clarification
For anyone looking to play Super Mario Sunshine and wants to consider 100%, there’s “Blue Coin Tracker”.
Not only can you check off what you’ve found, but it’s got screenshots, descriptions, and strategies to help you find it. Even links to YouTube clips if you’re still stuck!
It’s invaluable. The blue coins are pretty evil in that game.
For me it’s StreetComplete. It’s like Pokémon Go, but you’re doing actual map quests that help verify or correct information in Open Street Maps.
And if you do enough per month, you get free map downloads without a subscription if you use OSM the app.
I think it’s only on Android though.
This is the most addictive thing I’ve done in a while. It’s rare to find something where just two clicks can help in a bigger project, and at least where I live there are thousands on tiny dots to check
Glad you’re enjoying it. Have fun unlocking badges!
I wish they’d get people to verify transit schedules literally the only reason Google maps finds itself on my phone
Hah, bold of you to assume my local public transport actually has a schedule.
The Transit app has been quite helpful for me to replace Google Maps!
There’s also a more powerful version of it called SCEE
Though that’s more for advanced users. If people don’t already know about street complete, they should use the regular version.
Same I use it so much. Really fun to fill in info
O7
Wooow! Now that’s a fun and useful game like I’ve been searching for a while! Downloaded count me in!!!
Syncthing, its not a recent discovery.
A daily use of me, it’s perfect as it is

Not an app, a site:
Free Photoshop clone. For my needs, it’s over the top perfect.
It works really well and has been my go too for studies last year
deleted by creator
Walkscape. It’s like Pokémon go and runescape but without the emptional manipulation.
Or
Streetcomplete - gamify openstreetmap and help fill out the map.
I’ve just finished making my Streetcomplete account! And I’ve got some work around me it’s gonna be fun
I just got accepted into the beta for walkscapes. It’s such a relaxing game and using steps vs distance is super nice to have as a tracking system.
I’ve been enjoying using both of these, and they make a great pairing. Go for a walk, check out the streets!
kinder world, it’s a plant-watering emotions-thinking about game that’s a cover for a mindfulness app. really effective because cute animal characters.
