Hi fellow app scouts, |
This week we found an AI photo app already in the Top 100 across 20+ countries, a couples game with 20K players, and a focus app that turns distractions into 30 second lessons. |
Let's get into it. |
HotMerry • Photo app |
|
HotMerry swaps your photo's background for one styled around your zodiac sign, generated by AI in a single tap. |
The filter itself is the hook here, which is a format we've seen work really well for AI photo apps. |
It launched on August 26 and is already Top 100 in Graphics & Design across 20+ countries. |
WeWild • Couples Games |
|
WeWild is a game night for two, packed with Truth or Dare, a naughty roulette, and dares that use your own names. |
Spicy couples content is also a pretty natural fit for short form, where relationship videos already do really well. |
It launched on August 17 and is already Top 100 in Lifestyle across 20+ countries, with 20K downloads. |
Becom • Focus app |
|
Becom blocks your most distracting apps, and every time you try to open one, it hands you a 30 second lesson to learn from. |
It brings together two categories that already have huge demand: screen time blocking and productivity. |
It launched on August 12 and is already Top 100 in Productivity across 5 countries. |
| | | Learn How To Think Like a Top App Designer | | Open your favorite app. Now ask yourself: | Why is that button there? | Why did they ask for notifications at that exact moment? | Why does the onboarding feel effortless? | Those little decisions add up. | Every week, José breaks down the design choices behind the best apps on the App Store. | | Onboarding flows, paywalls, retention mechanics. | Ever wondered how the team behind your favorite app made those decisions? | |

Fix Yo Yap • Speaking game |
|
Fix Yo Yap gives you a topic and 45 seconds to talk, then scores your filler words and pace and crowns you a speaking persona. |
It feels like a game, but you're also getting better at speaking every time you play. |
It launched on August 13 and is currently #69 in Education in India. |
Osly • Snooze app |
|
Osly turns every snooze into a little printed receipt, stacking your “five more minutes” under a glowing night sky. |
It also turns your snoozes into something you can use to understand your sleep habits. |
It launched on August 30 and is currently #97 in Lifestyle in Turkey. |
