I finally shipped my first app. 🎉 It’s called Mindkeep: Expiry Reminders. The idea came from a ridiculously simple problem: passports, insurance documents, warranties, return deadlines, subscriptions and other things have important dates buried in them — and somehow we remember them when we actually need them. I wanted something where I could photograph an item/document and basically say: “Make sure I don’t forget this.” Mindkeep lets you take a photo, choose an existing photo/screenshot, or enter something manually. It detects possible dates, you choose the one that matters, and it schedules reminders before that date. Privacy was also important to me. Text recognition happens on-device. There’s no account, no ads, no tracking, and your documents aren’t uploaded to my server. The free version allows up to 10 saved items. Premium simply removes that limit. I’m a physician/radiology resident rather than a professional software developer, so going from an idea → building it → dealing with App Store Review → finally seeing my own name in the App Store has been quite an experience. At this stage I’m honestly more interested in feedback than downloads. Would you actually use this? What would you change? And what kinds of things would you want it to remember? https://apps.apple.com/gr/app/mindkeep-expiry-reminders/id6805195135 Happy to answer questions about building/shipping it too.   submitted by   /u/SilverHawk_91 [link]   [comments]
