For the nomads among you
Thanks for the Lexie support. New languages coming - Danish is on the list, and their counting system is somehow more wild than French. I know many of you are learning languages because you're traveling, moving, or living between countries. Same here. Lexie handles the language headache. I also built something for the visa/tax headache: Residency - a travel tracker that turns your photo library...
Other apps log where you've been. Residency shows what happens next. Scan your photos: it extracts every trip, filters out the noise (in-flight pictures, ferries, etc), and applies 120+ visa and tax rules automatically. Test future trips before you book to see if they'll trigger residency or break a limit. Keep documents, insurances, and driving permits organised with expiry alerts, export your history for tax filings or visa applications, and track with widgets. iOS 17+, private and on-device.

Hey PH! Vadim here. If you've ever maintained a spreadsheet of travel history, hated every minute of it, and still got it wrong, this is your passport's new best friend. I built Residency last summer knowing I'd need 10 years of travel history for a Canadian work permit. Pointed it at my photo library, reconstructed a decade of trips in minutes, got the visa, and have been traveling Canada with...

French numbers are ridiculous. Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf? That's "four-twenty-ten-nine" for 99. Meet Lexie: a tamagotchi-inspired game that makes French practice stick – especially the ridiculous bits. It grows when you practice, evolves when you’re right, and doesn’t punish you for being wrong or missing a day. Fully offline, zero ads. French is free; extra languages are a one-time unlock.

Hey folks! This isn't a language learning app, Duolingo and Anki are rather good at that already (one is better than the other though). Lexie just does the boring bits they skip: numbers, irregular verbs, the things you technically learnt at school but can't recall when it matters. The whole app is a blob that quizzes you and grows when you get things right, which is more than I could say for...

I wanted to bring Liquid Glass to my still-alive iPhone 3GS, but couldn’t find an iOS 4 simulator. So I backported it to iOS 13+ instead. Theseus recreates modern glass depth/refraction/highlights and works as a drop-in replacement for UIKit/SwiftUI TabBars. Would love feedback (and PRs).

Theseus is a lightweight Swift Package that backports the iOS 26 Liquid Glass aesthetic to iOS 13+.
Inspired by the Ship of Theseus, it rebuilds modern glass UI effects (refraction, depth, and highlights) piece by piece, without relying on new OS features.
