Check out this habit tracker that focuses on creating week "streaks"

I'm excited to share Flamify, an iPhone app designed to make habit tracking super easy and actionable.

I did it because many habit trackers focus on completing the habits every day, but that isn't realistic. I think you should focus on completing the habits a certain number of times per week and ensuring you maintain a streak of weeks with the habit completed. With many weeks in a row, you will definitely see a difference in your life!

The app has a few things for you to enjoy:

  • Weekly Overview & Streaks: See how often you complete your habits each week and keep that streak alive!
  • Al-Based Tips: The insights feature offers real-time suggestions based on your habit data.
  • Unlimited vs. Free Plan: Create up to 5 habits free, and go Pro if you need more.

I am still gathering feedback to improve, so any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Would love for you to give it a try-thanks in advance!

App Research

Hello everyone, I'm trying to understand what type of mobile app is missing from the market and is most needed. Maybe one that combines multiple apps into a single solution, for example. What kind of mobile app would you like or find useful?

apps for creating affirmation reminders?

i know there are plenty of apps out there that provide regular notifications that include positive affirmations but that's not quite what i'm looking for. is there any app out there that has the scheduled reminders but i write the affirmations/reminders myself?

i also don't mean the default ios reminders app either.

i find more curt self-reminders a little more helpful than the typical "believe in yourself" kinda stuff, especially in cases when i wind up stuck in my own head or spiraling from my anxiety and i often can't pull out of those thoughts quick enough to tell myself "hey. get it together. Stop That."

What is an efficient, free app for rearranging the order of pages in a file?

Só far I found ILovePDF, but it’s not very convenient, if you get my meaning. What are some other completely free apps that do this?

How we helped an app reach 1m+ users & key lessons for business growth

One of the biggest reasons startups fail isn’t a lack of a great product—it’s a lack of planning, execution, and adaptability. We worked with an app startup from its early days, helping with business planning, market research, and strategic growth, ultimately leading to 1M+ users. Here’s what we learned and what every business (especially apps) should focus on.

1. A Business Plan is Non-Negotiable

Many founders treat business plans as a box to check, but a well-structured plan is a roadmap to success. It’s not just about impressing investors—it’s about forcing clarity on your strategy. Key elements every business plan should have:

• Problem & Solution – Clearly define the problem you’re solving. If you can’t summarize your value in a sentence, it’s too complicated.

• Unique Value Proposition (UVP) – What makes you different from competitors? A small edge isn’t enough—you need a clear differentiation.

• Go-To-Market Strategy – How will you acquire your first 1,000 users or customers? Organic growth? Paid ads? Influencers? Partnerships?

• Monetization Model – What are your revenue streams? Subscriptions, one-time purchases, freemium models? Most startups underestimate customer acquisition costs and overestimate willingness to pay.

• Financial Projections – A rough estimate of revenue vs. costs. If you’re burning money too fast, even the best idea can fail before it gains traction.

Key takeaway: Your business plan should be a living document that evolves as you get more data—not something you create once and forget.

2. Market Research is More Than Just Checking Competitors

Most startups make dangerous assumptions about their market. Instead of just looking at competitors, we:

• Conducted direct user interviews to understand pain points—no guessing, just real feedback.

• Analyzed search trends & behavior data to see what users are actually looking for, not just what competitors are offering.

• Tested different pricing models & features through surveys, fake landing pages, and A/B tests before full development.

• Looked at competitor gaps, not just strengths—what are customers complaining about in reviews? That’s an opportunity.

Key takeaway: A “good idea” isn’t enough—you need data-backed validation to ensure demand. The best businesses solve urgent problems that people are already searching for solutions to.

3. Marketing Isn’t Just Ads—It’s Positioning, Retention & Virality

A big mistake we see: Startups burn money on ads before fixing their retention problem. Here’s what worked instead:

• Positioning & Messaging – Before spending a cent on ads, we refined the core message to make it instantly clear why users should care. Confusing messaging = wasted ad spend.

• Referral & Viral Loops – We incentivized users to invite friends, rewarding them with in-app perks. If 1 user brings 2, growth is exponential.

• Community & Social Proof – We engaged with early users in online communities (Reddit, Discord, niche Facebook groups), making them feel like part of the brand, not just customers.

• Content Marketing & Thought Leadership – Instead of just running ads, we created valuable content that positioned the brand as an industry authority. Trust converts better than discounts.

Key takeaway: Marketing isn’t just about acquiring users—it’s about keeping them and making them bring others. Growth comes from a mix of product experience + strong messaging + strategic distibution.

4. Growth Requires the Right Metrics (Not Just Vanity Metrics)

Many founders obsess over vanity metrics (likes, downloads) instead of the numbers that actually matter. Here’s what we tracked instead: • User Retention & Churn Rate – How many users are still active after 30 days? A high churn rate means you’re filling a leaky bucket—fix the product before spending more on marketing. • Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) vs. Lifetime Value (LTV) – Are you making more from each user than you spend to acquire them? Many businesses don’t realize they’re scaling at a loss. • Activation Rate – What percentage of new users take a meaningful action (like making a purchase or completing a key step)? If people sign up but don’t engage, something’s broken. • Conversion Funnel Optimization – We A/B tested everything from onboarding screens to CTA buttons, because small tweaks can make or break conversion rates .

Key takeaway: Scale isn’t just about acquiring users—,it’s about ensuring they stay, engage, and convert profitably.

Final Thoughts—

Having a great product is just step one. The difference between startups that succeed and those that fail isn’t just fundingit’s strategy, execution, and constant iteration.

The objective of this post is not to promote but educate. If you have any questions about business planning, marketing strategies, or growth tactics, feel free to ask! Happy to share insights.

Looking for an app as someone who goes to many work conventions.

Hello everyone! I travel to work conventions several times a year where I meet vendors and take pictures of their products and make notes. I am wondering if anyone knows of an app that would help me do all of this in one place and also make it easy to search through months later when I remember I met someone that does what I’m looking door at a convention. I currently ended up collecting business cards from people but after a year have no idea what the company even offered when I’m looking through a pile of them. TIA!

Accounts Over Different Devices

My step son has been playing a game on his Samsung tablet. My other half is trying to start the game on a different account on her phone, but it's constantly syncing the 2 accounts, meaning it's the same game data. I've already tried:

  • setting up a new account from scratch
  • turning off auto - sync on the device settings on both devices
  • setting up another new account, on my laptop and adding it as the default account after the sync has been turned off.

Does anyone have any follow-up ideas? I work in IT support so don't shy away from technical ideas.

I'm hesitant about deleting things, as if the data is lost on the tablet then the screaming will last for days....

A good app to separate sound?

My extremely abusive mother-in-law is trying to kick me out and I'm trying to prove something related to this. I recorded her with a voice recorder on my phone but it was a little bit in my pocket and you can't hear what she's saying well enough Is there an app that can help me separate the sounds so that when we go to court I can show the judge what's really happening

I'm planning a birthday party at a theme park. Is there an app better than a Facebook group/text thread that can notify other parents what attraction the birthday kid is at/planning to go next?

This will be my first time running something like this, but I imagine it will be next to impossible to stick to a schedule and try to keep the group together. I just don't want to run into a situation where someone wanted to see my kid and couldn't find us all day. I might try to do something like having a distinctive balloon tied to a backpack or something but wanted to know if there's any decent tech solutions out there.
