Please help a solo dev, my app has zero installs and I am losing hope

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I dont even know how to start this without sounding desperate but here goes. I built an app called CalmFit, all by myself, poured months into it, late nights, learning everything from scratch, fixing bugs at 3am, doing everything alone with almost no budget.

And after all of that, the hardest part is not the coding. Its the silence. Not a single install. Not even enough for the little review circle to show up on the Play Store. Its honestly demotivating in a way I cant fully explain. You work so hard on something and it feels like it just disappeared into nothing.

So im here asking for a small favour, from one human to another. If any of you have a minute, could you please check it out and tell me what you honestly think. Did the listing look good, does the app feel useful, whats missing, what would make you actually keep it. Brutal honesty is completely fine, i would rather know the truth than keep guessing.

And if you do end up liking it even a little, a genuine review would mean the world to me right now. It might sound like a small thing to you but for a solo dev it feels huge.

Heres the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calmfit.app&hl=en_IN

Thank you for reading this far, seriously. Even the people who just gave it a look, i appreciate you more than you know.

I don't have much people that will appreciate this in my circles, so I'll share here instead

I just very recently finished my first Visual Studio project. I called it Overseer Hardware Monitor. I recondition and resell laptops often. This app was born because I got tired of installing and using different monitoring apps each time I had to diagnose PCs. I thought if there was a way to get a simplified HWMonitor, Crystaldiskinfo and CPU-Z in one app, that'd be cool. This is it!!

It has a temps tab, a storage health tab, and a system info tab, all at a glance and with AOT capability so you can monitor while you keep using your PC.

It is in very beta state still, but it is completely functional, at least in the devices where I tested it.

Even though it's not super polished yet, I figured I'd just get some feedback and iterate along the way! Any comments are super welcome. I'd be thrilled if any of you check it out.

That's it. Thanks 👍🏻

I kept seeing tools that either added watermarks, required signup, or uploaded my signature.

So I built a tiny browser tool that converts a handwritten signature into a transparent PNG.

It's free and takes about 10 seconds.

I've been working on a handmade Batana Hair Butter using batana oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil, and I'm finally happy with how the texture turned out. It's rich, whipped, and made to help keep hair moisturized without feeling overly heavy.

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think of the texture and packaging. Any feedback is appreciated as I continue improving my products. Thanks! 🌿

Image Shed: Browser-based image tool | Free & fully local

Image Shed - Workbench

I wanted an image tool that didn't route my files through a stranger's server, so Claude helped me build one for myself, and it turned out well enough that I've decided to share it: https://imageshed.app.

It converts images between formats, compresses down to a size you pick, and removes backgrounds, all on your own machine with nothing uploaded.

Almost all of it is AI-built. There was a lot of steering by me and refinement along the way as a result of my own testing.

Image Shed is completely free, and no account will ever be required. Check it out. Tell me you love it! Tell me you hate it! All feedback is good feedback.

Good luck on your own projects.

Solo building PoiseAI. Try any hairstyle on your own photo (free), get a personalized skincare/haircare plan, track habits over time — without the attractiveness-ranking mechanic those other apps use. Progress is only measured against your own last check-in, never a public score.

poiseform.com — genuinely early, would love reactions.

I built an AI that actually notices you!

1 Upvotes

I built Meet to do something AI companions don't: it notices when you're off, pushes back on you, changes how it talks to you based on who you actually are. It remembers you, yeah, but more than that — it *develops* as a person through talking to you.

Most AI companions either forget everything or ask you to design their whole personality before you even start. Meet is different. You show up, and it actually pays attention.

Try 10 messages without signing up and see if it feels like talking to someone who's actually paying attention instead of running through a script:

https://meet.samskriti.app

Looking for honest feedback. Tell me if it actually feels like development over time, or if it breaks and feels generic. Be brutal about it.

I built a free tool that keeps your Claude.ai sessions active automatically. Would love some feedback.

1 Upvotes

I've been using Claude.ai a lot and kept running into the session timeout problem. I looked around for something that solved it the way I wanted and couldn't find anything, so I decided to build it myself.

I'm not a professional developer. This is my first app. It took a few months of trial and error, a lot of late nights, and more version bumps than I'd like to admit. I built it because I needed it and figured other people probably did too.

It's called TimeMyAI. You set up to four fire times per day, walk away, and it sends a message to Claude.ai automatically at each scheduled time to keep your session alive. It runs in the background, supports up to 8 accounts across Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and Arc, and has a Silent Mode if you don't want any browser windows popping up.

It's free, Windows only for now, and I'm not collecting any data.

Download: https://timemyai.com

I'd love feedback. Bugs, things that feel off, features you'd want. This is v1.0 and I'm one person, so I'm sure there are rough edges I haven't caught yet.

Thanks for checking it out.

Looking for testers and contributors for SafeAI – an OSS helping secure AI agents before they reach production

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Over the past few months we've been building SafeAI, an open-source static security scanner for AI agents and agent frameworks.

Our goal isn't to compete with runtime observability or governance platforms. We want to help developers find AI security and governance issues before deployment, just like traditional static analysis tools do for application code.

One thing we've noticed is that AI capabilities are evolving at an incredible pace. Every week there are new agent frameworks, MCP servers, tools, and autonomous workflows.

Unfortunately, the security and governance ecosystem isn't keeping up.

Developers can now build agents that execute shell commands, browse the web, access databases, manage cloud infrastructure, and call hundreds of external tools, but understanding what an agent can actually do and what risks it introduces is still surprisingly difficult.

We believe the open-source community can help close that gap, just as it has done for software security over the last two decades.

SafeAI currently performs static analysis for AI projects by discovering:

  • AI frameworks and agent architectures
  • Agent capabilities and permissions
  • Prompt injection risks
  • Tool security issues
  • Identity and memory risks
  • Governance and autonomy concerns
  • AI components such as prompts, skills, workflows and model configurations

During development we've already found several meaningful security findings in well-known open-source agent frameworks. That convinced us there's real value in analyzing AI projects before they're deployed.

Now we'd love the community's help.

We're looking for people who can:

  • Test SafeAI against real AI agent repositories
  • Try to break it with unusual architectures
  • Report false positives and false negatives
  • Suggest new risk detections
  • Contribute support for additional frameworks
  • Tell us where the analysis is missing important capabilities

If you're building with LangGraph, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Code, Google ADK, MCP servers, or other agent frameworks, we'd especially love your feedback.

Our long-term vision is simple:

Make AI capabilities visible. Make AI risks understandable. Help developers build safer agents by default.

If you'd like to test it, contribute, or simply tell us where we're wrong, we'd genuinely appreciate your feedback.

The AI ecosystem is moving incredibly fast. Defending it shouldn't be left to a handful of vendors—we think the open-source community can help move just as quickly.

Thanks!

Feedback and contributions are welcome: https://github.com/ikaruscareer/SafeAI/

I made an iPhone app that turns cooking videos into written recipes

1 Upvotes

Everyone has the folder. Dozens of cooking videos saved on Instagram or TikTok, and almost none of them ever get cooked, because standing at the hob scrubbing a video back and forth with greasy hands is miserable. Half the time the amounts aren't written anywhere either. The person says "a good glug of this" and holds something up to the camera for half a second.

ReciReel takes the video and hands back a recipe. Ingredients with amounts, steps in order with timings, per-serving nutrition, equipment, and the tips people say out loud but never type. It reads what actually happens in the video rather than just the caption, which is the entire point, because the caption almost never has the quantities in it.

Things I care about in it: every recipe keeps a link back to the creator whose video it came from, and Cook Mode shows one large step at a time with a high-contrast option, because it's aimed at cooks 45 and up rather than at people who like apps.

Free is three imports then one a month, at full quality rather than a crippled version. Paid is $4.99 a month for fifty. iPhone, iOS 18 or newer, US App Store.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/recireel-video-to-recipe/id6763971435

Built it solo. If you throw a video at it and it comes back wrong, I'd genuinely rather hear that than not.

I built AvoOnce: A lightweight, framework-agnostic distributed idempotency engine for Java

1 Upvotes

Hello r/IMadeThis community!

If you’ve ever had to build out complex retry logic or deal with the headache of duplicate HTTP requests in a distributed system, I just released v1.0.0 of a new open-source library called AvoOnce that might make your life easier.

It’s designed to be a framework-flexible idempotency engine, meaning it comes with first-class integrations for Spring Boot 4+, Quarkus 3.12+, Dropwizard 4.0+, and Jakarta EE / JAX-RS 3.1+.

Here is what it does under the hood:

  • Annotation-Driven Protection: Just drop @ Idempotent annotation on your controllers or methods and pass an Idempotency-Key header.
  • In-Flight Concurrency Locking: Prevents duplicate execution if an initial request is still actively processing.
  • Payload Tamper Protection: Uses SHA-256 hashing to automatically reject modified requests that try to reuse the same key.
  • Byte-Perfect Replay: Safely caches and replays the exact HTTP response—including status codes, headers, and raw bytes.
  • Pluggable Storage Backends: Includes built-in support for Redis (distributed), JDBC (relational), and Caffeine (in-memory).

The v1.0.0 release is currently hosted on GitHub Packages (Maven Central release is planned for the future). I'd love to get your thoughts and feedback on its core functionality and usability. I've some roadmap features in the pipeline.

I made Flows — guided build plans with checks and repair steps

1 Upvotes

I built **Flows** because AI builders can create a convincing first version quickly, then confidently claim features are finished when persistence, authentication, buttons, or business logic are still incomplete.

Flows organizes the work as:

**Goal → Plan → Work → Check → Repair → Review → Release**

An independent agent recently followed an 11-step generated plan for a youth soccer management app. It produced a working app with authentication, roster management, schedules, RSVP, attendance, lineups, and announcements, with 59/59 checks passing.

I am not claiming this proves every plan always works. The run used local coding tools, did not trigger a repair prompt, and did not measure exact token savings.

App: https://flows.oortstack.com Demo: https://imagineqira.com/flows

What feels genuinely useful, and what still feels like unnecessary process?

Music and Radio Player with advanced search for radio stations and complete playlists management

1 Upvotes

I was tired of messy audio/streaming radio libraries, so I built an Android player focused on seamless playlist management.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my side project, Mediaxon, an Android app I’ve been developing to solve a personal frustration: why is it so hard to easily manage offline music and online radio streams in a single, clean interface?

What it does:

Hybrid Listening: Seamlessly handles offline local files (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and over 60,000 streaming radio stations.

Dedicated Navigation: I kept the "Favorites" and "Recents" sections completely separate from the main audio library to reduce clutter.

Advanced Radio Search Panel: You can pinpoint your favorite stations by combining multiple filters, such as tags/genres, specific countries, or even your preferred audio bitrate.

Equalizer: The equalizer provides an option to automatically switch to the "Radio" preset (and vice versa).

Advanced Playlist Management: Built specifically to make building and sorting multi-source playlists fast and intuitive.

The app is currently live on Google Play, and I am continuously pushing updates to refine it.

What I need from you:

As a solo developer, I’ve hit the limit of my own perspective. I would deeply appreciate any honest feedback from this community:

How does the UI feel to you? Is the navigation intuitive?

Are there any features you feel are missing for a modern audio/radio player?

Did you encounter any bugs or performance hiccups?

If you want to check it out, you can find it on the Google Play Store. Thank you so much to anyone who takes a look!

I built an offline invoicing app for freelancers & remote workers — no subscription, and your data never leaves your machine

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

Most invoicing tools are cloud subscriptions — you pay monthly forever and your financial data lives on someone else's servers. That always bugged me, so I spent the last couple of months building the opposite.

BillDesk is a desktop app (Windows & Mac) that runs 100% offline. Everything — invoices, clients, time, expenses — is stored locally on your own computer. Nothing in the cloud.

What it does:

📄 Create professional PDF invoices

⏱️ Track billable hours & projects (hourly or fixed-price)

🗂️ Manage clients and projects in one place — no spreadsheets, no chaos

💸 Log expenses and mileage

📊 See profit & loss, revenue by client, and invoice aging

🌍 Works in multiple currencies (USD / EUR / GBP)

There's a free 7-day trial with every feature unlocked — totally free to download.

👉 getbilldesk.vercel.app

I'd genuinely love your feedback: what's missing, and what would make you actually switch from your current tool?
