I want MoviesFad back… Greatest movie-app ever!
ed(1) but with a left pane and right pane, where the left had the content of the file and scrolled to where you are editing and the right is just regular ed output.
I want an app that existed, and was killed before it’s time by Intuit. Level Money
You put in (and it learned over time) your expenses, and it gave you a single number which was how much you could spend per day. It adjusted as you went, so if you under/overspent it adjusted.
It wasn’t perfect, but was the last time I had a firm handle on my finances.
Fuck you Intuit, burn in every hell imagine able for your myriad of sins including this minor one comparatively.
Have you tried Cashew? I’ve tried tons of apps and it’s easily the best
No, but I just downloaded it! Thanks for the rec!
I work in IT and we get at least a dozen broken QuickBooks tickets a week. I fucking hate intuit and their products
Have you looked at your banks budgeting software? One of the key features mine has is it learns how transactions are categorized, so future ones will be categorized the same way even if the amount changes. While it’s far from perfect, it is a huge factor in making useful.
I used to try various money management tools but this made a huge convenience difference
This kinda locks you into one bank which is not ideal
I use CapitalOne, they have some things but nothing exactly right.
I have also tried every budgeting software under the sun, and Level was the only one that worked for me sadly. I’ve thought about using vibe coding (not a mobile dev) to makey own android app to do something similar but also super lazy lol.
Ever tried the old over engineered Excel doc trick?
Sucks because you have to do manual data entry but you’ll get whatever level of granular control your heart desires.
I’m sure there’s ways to design something similar to the auto leveling budget effect you liked, but it’s beyond my skills.
Navigation app the prioritizes things important to me. I’ll got an extra distance if I turn less or I right turn only or I have no speed bumps.
Brouter used to be capable of this, but it was configured with JSON.
I wish for something for summer months, I don’t care if the route is longer if I walk in the shade.
Edit: it’s a full blown programming language https://brouter.de/brouter/index.html

A weather widget on Android that shows all of current temp, high/low for the day, and high/low remaining for the day.

I don’t think this needs to be a whole app, or just a feature within a camera app, but I want the ability to underlay an existing image at say 10% transparency on screen while taking a photo. It doesn’t get saved, I just want to be able to use it as a guide for framing things, like documenting changes on sites or recreating old photos for fun.

I want to be able to open a line of communication to another driver nearby. Maybe a range of 100ft. I don’t know if it’s Bluetooth or what. “Hey your taillight is out” “hey coming up in your blindspot” “hey, please can I merge I’m not trying to be a dick” “hey is this the exit for Wawa?”
CB radio is pretty popular depending on where you live. You’ll start recognizing antennae everywhere once you get a kit and start messing around with it.
Won’t hit everyone but it’s pretty fun community usually. Trucks and just general weirdos, the occasional douche canoe but mostly good

I think about this every time I’m on the highway, it would be so fun/useful.
I said it in another reply but I’ll say it again here, CB radio is awesome. Especially on the highway there’s tons of trucker chatter and just general nonsense.
Huh, why didn’t I think of that? Thanks
Open camera has that. Settings > Camera preview… > Ghost image
Yo. Yooooo! Thank you!
For weather, the hottest/coldest part of the day are almost always around the same time. If you know those, it’s pretty easy to say “the temp right now is the hottest it will be for the rest of the day”, or “the high for today will be the hottest when we get there”.
Yeah, you’re right. I’d still just like to see it. Maybe something like this:
64° ─────●────────▲───── 83°
With the dot showing the current temp within the day range and the arrow (up or down) showing if there is still a high or low spot left. As in, not the high for the day, maybe that’s already past, but just to say, “there’s a still a bit of hot left later”
Sounds like something that could be made in KWGT. This is the custom home widget I made with weather info.
There’s a weather widget preset you can import to use as a template to see how it works, and then you can add on to it from there.
The amount of road rage induced shit talking that would be done via car-to-car communication would outweigh every benefit it could provide.
Yeah, I won’t deny the potential for abuse. On the other hand, I think a lot of road rage comes from the disinhibiting effect of being alone in your car. I’d love to see a study to see if road rage can be reduced by letting people communicate.

I wish there’d be a proper family tree generator, I’ve been searching for one for so long. All the things existing now seem to be old and made to create actual existing family trees with lots of limitations, but I’d really need a tool to use for world building and that kind of stuff. To allow you create profiles with a lot of data for the characters in the tree, so you could view the info in some easy way, maybe by clicking to open an info window, or something like that. To be able to easily link them to each other with other things than just family relations (like friends, lovers, enemies…). Being able to properly put a picture on the profiles so it would show there in the tree, not just a name. Just being able to properly view the whole family tree at once by zooming in and out would be so nice, and to link it with other family trees etc…
There are games that have some family tree functions, but I don’t need nor want a gaming experience. I want to do these things freely, not with having to play some shit to be able to unlock something, or to have family trees generated around just played characters. I’ve tried using mind map generating stuff as well, but they have limited features, and it’s difficult to just create branches with them since everything is supposed to link back to one single thing.
If anyone knows about something like this existing somewhere, please do tell me!
MS Vizio can do what you’re talking about. It’s a flow chart designer on crack. I’d bet there’s quite a few modules designed for family tree building you can get for it.
Instead of a family tree planner, maybe start looking at flow chart builders? Or workflow planners or project management schedulers. They all can do something like what you’re talking about, even if they’re not directly designed for purpose of family tree diagrams.
Thank you, I’ll look into those!
Yeah I’m trying to avoid MS if possible, especially since I probably have to try to make the jump to linux eventually with how things are going. I probably need to at least try Visio though, to see is it able to do what I want, so far I’ve had no luck with alternatives for it.
For example draw.io doesn’t seem to work for this (I’ve tried before as well), since I really need easy auto arranging for the nodes for it to be usable enough - and I haven’t been able to do that with it. So far the only thing that I’ve found to work even relatively well for what I want to do has been this even with it’s many limitations, since it allows to just pulling the lines wherever and it will auto arrange everything. When the trees grow to crazy sizes (over a hundred etc.), it’s almost impossible to make things work without the auto arranging, otherwise I wouldn’t even need the tools I’m looking for…
I’m looking for an app (on Android) that not only keeps track of birthdays, but also lets you add an extra date if that person has passed away. So it will display someone’s age correctly instead of just counting on. And give reminders of both their birth- and their dying day. If it exists, please let me know…
I really want an all-in-one android app that just let me connect 2 portable ssds (via a usb hub) and then make a list of hashes for the folder structure and file names along with the hashes, all on a single sor of “index” file and I can run a “verify” function like every so often (like maybe once a week?) to check if there are any decay, also copy everything to the 2nd drive, and then run the verify to check if its done correctly, and correct any file corruptions.
Like its a very ghetto way to doing a NAS on a budget, but its just a $50 spare android phone connected to a usb hub with the power connected, and a bunch of drives attached.
I can run hash checks manually with some F-Droid apps, and keep the hashes on a file, but there us no way to automate this.
An app that can fix audio in movies to make dialog easier to hear and understand.
It’s called subtitles 😅
A program that allows me to search through a large drive and see if there are any duplicates of congruent files on them, even if those files have different names but are otherwise identical, i.e. copies elsewhere on the drive.
There are lots of these? And if it’s images, you could use Immich and it will find similar pictures that aren’t exact, too.
If you search for “find duplicate files <your OS>” there seem to be some options…
A service or a website to find other websites. Search engine nowadays uses sentences, but why can’t we use tags and filters?
Google and duckduckgo may give 4 HUGE websites, but nothing more than that. Why can’t I just see all the unique different services all listed up?
I once thought it would be cool to have a program you could feed a photo of an evil boss’s or slimy politician’s face, from which it would then create a little cartoon character. That you could subject to various simulated tortures. Throw knives at it, lower it into boiling oil, draw and quarter, etc. Would probably be a hit in some offices.
I really want an app that locally indexes my locally stored photos and lets me search them locally, based on places, things or people seen in the photo.
I second Immich. Does this great, and the local AI mapping is pretty good.
Digikam
- Fully local
- Search by location and place on map based on exif data
- Search by person (local facial recognition)
No search by “thing” without manually tagging though
While this seems very interesting, it doesn’t seem to exist as an app, the download page only lists downloads for desktop operating systems:
https://www.digikam.org/download/
Do they also provide an app somewhere where I haven’t looked yet?
Ah, apologies, I use the word “app” much more liberally.
No, I don’t believe there would be a mobile release for Digikam and I’m not aware of similar software for mobile operating systems.
Immich lets you do this
https://immich.app/docs/features/searching/
For example here’s me searching for “forest”. But it also supports looking for people (even multiple people in the same image), places, dates, or combinations of all of them. It’ll also look for text in images. The link has more examples
All hosted and processed on my local computer, and connected to the mobile app
All hosted and processed on my local computer, and connected to the mobile app
The way you write this makes it seem as if the app doesn’t actually locally index locally stored photos. Is that so?
I’m sorry, I’m not entirely sure what you mean. All my photos are on my local hard drive on my computer at home, and I just point immich at that folder.
Once it boots up, immich doesn’t need internet to function, except for the first time you use image processing (the machine learning to search for things inside of images) and geocoding (putting the images on a map). Once it downloads those for the first time immich can run completely offline on your local computer. If you wish, you can open immich so you can connect to it from another device, such as a phone, but your images/data never leaves your device
I want an app that runs locally on my phone in my pocket and indexes the photos I’ve stored locally there, without ever needing any kind of network connection.
But the way you’re describing your setup, it seems to me as if copying your photos to your computer in order to get them indexed is a necessary step.
That’s fair. And in the case of Immich, the photos are automatically backed up to my computer so if I lose my phone I don’t lose the images, but I totally understand wanting something exclusively on the phone (Immich can let you browse photos local on your phone, but I don’t think it indexes them for searching by person/object). Unfortunately I’m not sure something like that exists, especially since the machine learning for identifying people/objects in pictures is pretty computationally intensive.
I wish you luck in your search! I agree that would be a great app to have
I think there is a fine line between “installing an app” and “spinning up a docker image and keeping it maintained”.
I’m in the camp that Docker images are what .exe’s used to be, but they’re not easily accessible still. So Immich doesn’t count I fear.
That is completely fair, and part of that is on me since I spend so much time in self hosting communities where such a recommendation isn’t too out of the ordinary, while it’s way out of scope for what most people are looking for
Having a more user friendly and approachable way to do stuff like this would be very helpful
An app for Android (Google TV) that lets you change the volume on a per-application basis. Like a mixer. I want to be able to set Disney+ to 200%, Netflix to 130% and Youtube to 80%.
If you’re using Samsung, check out Soundassistant from Goodlock.
No Samsung. I want this for my Google Streamer.
An app that exports all the events (title, date, time, url link) from my newsletter email inbox. Bonus points for same but for Instagram. I vibe coded something but gave up… For now.
