The most frustrating GIF 📡

Your phone's GPS might be the hidden feature nobody talks about. While Uber and Lyft snagged the headlines and VC dollars, a wave of productivity apps are here to make life a little better.

⏰ WakeMeHere is a location-based alarm app that'll make sure you don't miss your stop on the commute. Trust us – waking up in an unfamiliar subway stop is about as fun as realizing the above GIF loops. 😂

🎨 GPS-A-Sketch lets you turn your run, bike ride, or walk into a giant Etch-A-Sketch. Draw all over your city.

📍 Visits lets you find places that you might have forgotten by automatically keeping track of all the places you’ve been to. Similar to Moves, which was acquired by Facebook in 2014.

✅ Anon Tasks and SKreminder remind you of tasks to do while you're at any specific location. Perfect for remembering to catch up with your old friends, running errands, or eating at that one burger place your friend recommended.

💬 Holo and WallaMe are apps that let you leave geofenced messages, discoverable only when your friends travel to that exact location.

🚖 Joyride is like HQ Trivia but for your Uber ride. Answer a number of questions during your ride. Win and your ride is free!

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
