I'm an indie developer, and I made one rule for everything I ship: one-time purchase, no subscriptions, no ads, and your data stays on your device. No monthly fees, no accounts, no tracking.
Here's the lineup so far — all for iPhone.
🗂️ Productivity & documents
- ScanTo Pro — scan to a searchable PDF with OCR, lock docs with Face ID, works offline.
- CV Desk — instant ATS résumé score + recruiter-ready templates.
- G+Money — convert currencies and log every expense in one tap, offline, no bank linking.
- HoursTag — see what a purchase really costs in hours of your life.
- LockHour Pro — block the apps that steal your focus, one tap.
- Mochi — cute, cozy checklists with a satisfying tap to complete.
📷 Photo & privacy
- Unblurry — AI super-resolution sharpens & upscales photos, entirely on-device.
- PicClear — find duplicate photos & huge videos, free up storage fast.
- Snapport — take a compliant passport/ID photo at home in 30 seconds.
- PhotoCream — 100+ real film looks, grain & light leaks.
🌙 Health & calm
- Cyca — private period & cycle tracking, on-device.
- Sereno — a sound machine for sleep & focus: mixable white/brown noise, offline.
🧒 Kids & learning
- Lumi Bopomofo — learn Zhuyin (Bopomofo) through games.
- Lumi Letters Pro — playful ABC phonics & tracing.
- Lumi Math Planet — early math adventures.
- Lumi Weather — a child-friendly forecast.
Why pay-once?
Subscription fatigue is real. For most everyday tasks, a one-time purchase does the job without an open-ended cost — and keeping everything on-device means there's no account to leak and nothing to cancel. That's the whole idea.
