      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you're teaching a child Zhuyin (Bopomofo, ㄅㄆㄇ) — the phonetic system used in Taiwan — repeated writing practice is what makes the 37 symbols stick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I made a few &lt;strong&gt;free, printable web tools&lt;/strong&gt; (no signup) for parents and teachers:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Practice sheets (田字格 tracing) → &lt;a href="https://alice51849.github.io/ios-app-guide/tools/zhuyin-practice-sheet.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://alice51849.github.io/ios-app-guide/tools/zhuyin-practice-sheet.html&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To learn the symbols through play, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6773017109" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Lumi Bopomofo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; turns all 37 into games — free to download with a one-time lifetime unlock, no ads, no subscription, everything on-device.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Make a passport or ID photo at home on your iPhone (no photo booth)</title>
      <dc:creator>Lumi Studio</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://dev.to/cait518/make-a-passport-or-id-photo-at-home-on-your-iphone-no-photo-booth-17hk</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;You don't need a photo booth for a passport or visa photo. On an iPhone you can shoot a compliant one at home in under a minute — if the app handles the three hard parts: the exact size for your country, a clean white background, and the right head position.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a compliant photo needs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The correct size (US 2×2 in / 51×51 mm; most countries 35×45 mm; Canada 50×70 mm).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A plain, even background (usually white).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Head height and eye line within range.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6780575828" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Snapport&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for exactly this: country size templates, automatic background replacement, head-position guides, and a print-ready sheet — processed on-device, one-time purchase, no subscription.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reference: free passport-size table by country → &lt;a href="https://alice51849.github.io/ios-app-guide/data/passport-photo-sizes.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://alice51849.github.io/ios-app-guide/data/passport-photo-sizes.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I built a family of pay-once iOS apps — no subscriptions, no ads, on-device</title>
      <dc:creator>Lumi Studio</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 17:29:38 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/cait518/i-built-a-family-of-pay-once-ios-apps-no-subscriptions-no-ads-on-device-56b8</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/cait518/i-built-a-family-of-pay-once-ios-apps-no-subscriptions-no-ads-on-device-56b8</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I'm an indie developer, and I made one rule for everything I ship: &lt;strong&gt;one-time purchase, no subscriptions, no ads, and your data stays on your device.&lt;/strong&gt; No monthly fees, no accounts, no tracking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's the lineup so far — all for iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🗂️ Productivity &amp;amp; documents
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6779977651" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;ScanTo Pro&lt;/a&gt; — scan to a searchable PDF with OCR, lock docs with Face ID, works offline.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6781337213" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;CV Desk&lt;/a&gt; — instant ATS résumé score + recruiter-ready templates.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6755782939" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;G+Money&lt;/a&gt; — convert currencies and log every expense in one tap, offline, no bank linking.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6754218117" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;HoursTag&lt;/a&gt; — see what a purchase really costs in hours of your life.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6780107485" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;LockHour Pro&lt;/a&gt; — block the apps that steal your focus, one tap.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6785004775" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Mochi&lt;/a&gt; — cute, cozy checklists with a satisfying tap to complete.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📷 Photo &amp;amp; privacy
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6782275018" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Unblurry&lt;/a&gt; — AI super-resolution sharpens &amp;amp; upscales photos, entirely on-device.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6780223070" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;PicClear&lt;/a&gt; — find duplicate photos &amp;amp; huge videos, free up storage fast.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6780575828" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Snapport&lt;/a&gt; — take a compliant passport/ID photo at home in 30 seconds.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6781808054" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;PhotoCream&lt;/a&gt; — 100+ real film looks, grain &amp;amp; light leaks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🌙 Health &amp;amp; calm
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6782251621" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Cyca&lt;/a&gt; — private period &amp;amp; cycle tracking, on-device.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6788236641" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Sereno&lt;/a&gt; — a sound machine for sleep &amp;amp; focus: mixable white/brown noise, offline.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🧒 Kids &amp;amp; learning
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6773017109" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Lumi Bopomofo&lt;/a&gt; — learn Zhuyin (Bopomofo) through games.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6778491147" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Lumi Letters Pro&lt;/a&gt; — playful ABC phonics &amp;amp; tracing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6778269699" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Lumi Math Planet&lt;/a&gt; — early math adventures.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6779552704" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Lumi Weather&lt;/a&gt; — a child-friendly forecast.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why pay-once?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  More (and a pay-once vs subscription cost breakdown): &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/developer/id1136144960" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://apps.apple.com/developer/id1136144960&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
