iOrchard tracks the resale value of your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch, shows how fast each one is depreciating and flags the best window to sell before the next model lands. Fully on-device, no account, and it never invents a price it cannot back with real data.
Hi all, I'm Jordi, the maker.
iOrchard started from a personal annoyance. I owned a pile of Apple gear, an iPhone, an iPad, a couple of Macs and a Watch, and I had no real idea what any of it was worth anymore or when I should sell before the next model tanked the resale price. Spreadsheets never stuck.
So I taught myself Swift and built it. iOrchard was my first shipped app.
A few principles I built it around, because they are the whole point:
It runs entirely on-device. No account, no sign-up, your portfolio never leaves your phone.
It does not hold your data hostage. If your subscription lapses you keep seeing everything you added. The app never locks you out of your own information.
It does not fake precision. The estimates are calibrated against real resale market data. Where the data is thin I would rather show less than invent a confident number.
It tracks a depreciation curve per device, suggests sell windows and has a Care section with light upkeep reminders to help hold value.
It is a paid app, 9,99 USD / 9,99 EUR a year, with a 7-day free trial, and it is just me on support and updates. I am here all day and genuinely want the feedback, so tell me what is missing or what feels wrong. Roast it if it deserves it.
Really interesting idea.
I like products that come from a very specific personal annoyance, and this one feels like that. Apple devices are expensive enough that the “when should I sell this?” question actually matters, but most people probably only think about it when it’s already a bit too late.
The part I like most is that it doesn’t try to pretend it knows everything. Showing less when the data is thin is much better than giving a confident but fake resale estimate.
Also appreciate the on-device/no-account approach here. For a small utility that tracks personal devices, that just feels right. Curious how you handle regional price differences. Does iOrchard mainly use US/EU resale data, or can it adapt based on where the user is?
