      5 New Releases: App Store Tracker

      5 new apps climbing the App Store and worth stealing ideas from

      Hi fellow app scouts,

      This week we found an app already at 20K downloads after 12 days, a new photo app jumping on a familiar AI trend, and a 37-year-old solo founder who launched his latest game just 2 days ago.

      Let's get into it.

      Fish Audio • Voice app

      Fish Audio turns text into AI voices for videos, podcasts, and audiobooks.

      It's basically the mobile version of Fish Audio's existing voice AI product, but made by an indie developer who copied the name and turned it into an app.

      It launched on August 20 and passed 20K downloads in its first 12 days.

      OmniAero • Photo app

      OmniAero is jumping into a trend we've seen work before: one distinctive filter becomes the whole app, then social media turns it into a trend.

      Bleach Bypass did exactly that with its 2000s digicam and 2010s aesthetic, hitting 70K downloads in 20 days.

      It launched on August 16 and is already Top 100 in Graphics & Design across 20+ countries including the U.S.

      Bidstitch • Vintage app

      Bidstitch uses AI to tell you what your vintage finds are worth. Take a photo of the tags and stitching, and it estimates the item's age and market value.

      It started as a TikTok page built around viral vintage content. Now they're turning that audience into an app.

      It is already Top 100 in Reference across 30+ 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 some of the best apps on the App Store.

      Onboarding flows, paywalls, retention mechanics.

      The UI, UX, onboarding, and retention decisions behind them.

      Ever wondered how the team behind your favorite app made those decisions?

      That's exactly what José breaks down every week:

      Snail Walk • Walking game

      Snail Walk turns your daily steps into a survival game. A giant snail named Bob follows you along the path, and your run ends when you stop walking.

      It launched just 2 days ago, and its 37-year-old solo founder is already posting about it on X.

      Morning Clock • Alarm app

      Morning Clock is made for people who sleep through ordinary alarms.

      To stop it, you solve a math problem, type a phrase, shake the phone, or get up and walk.

      It launched on August 13 and is already #88 in the US.
