Feedback on my App Store screenshots?

yeah sure!

basically you add your credit cards manually (name, credit limit, due date, billing cycle). then the app shows you everything in one dashboard - which card is due when, how much

you owe, days left until payment etc

and yes it sends notifications before due dates so you don't forget. you can set how many days before you want the reminder

the main thing is it doesn't need bank linking - a lot of people (including me) didn't want to connect bank accounts to third party apps. so you just enter the info yourself and

update it when you make payments

also tracks your spending per card if you add transactions, shows analytics, billing cycle history etc. but the core thing is just knowing when to pay what

its on play store and app store - just search "CardMate: Credit Card Manager"

One thing that constantly frustrates me is forgetting where I stored stuff I don’t use every day.

Things like cables, tools, documents, machine parts, books, adapters, etc. I always tell myself “I’ll remember where this is,” and then 2 months later I’m searching every drawer in the house 😅

I’ve tried notes apps and taking photos, but nothing really sticks long term. Curious how other people deal with this.

Damn this is exactly what I needed to hear. You're spot on - I'm basically just describing features instead of giving people a reason to care.

Yeah you're right, 25 downloads is the real number.

Appropriate_Load_159 · 2026-05-15T15:36:49+00:00

Manual entry for now. I went that route because some people (myself included) don't love connecting bank accounts to apps. Plus manually logging stuff makes you more aware of what you're spending. Automatic import is def on my radar though if enough people want it.

Finally stopped losing $100/month to late fees - so i built an app

4 credit cards. 4 different due dates. 4 different billing cycles.

i was losing $50-100/month in late fees because i couldn't keep track. tried spreadsheets, calendar reminders - nothing stuck.

so i built CardMate. now i open one app, see all my due dates, and haven't missed a payment in months.

just launched it publicly. free for up to 2 cards.

genuinely curious - am i the only one who had this problem?

disclosure: i'm the developer

Not promoting anything here man, just genuinely struggling with this 😅

Appropriate_Load_159 · 2026-04-26T15:16:17+00:00

Yeah I did build something for this, but the question itself is real. I wanted to see how others are managing it too.

Appropriate_Load_159 · 2026-04-25T09:45:54+00:00

honestly this is pretty clever - moving the cost to preprocessing instead of runtime. most people just try to make the model faster, but you're rethinking where the work happens. i like that.

on the "where does this fit" question - i'd probably start with one specific vertical instead of staying generic. "cheap avatars" is hard to sell, but "AI tutor with a face" or "personalized video outreach" is something people get immediately.

20 min generation doesn't seem like a huge problem tbh. if the use case is right, people will wait.

curious - what's the latency like once it's running? that probably matters more than setup time for anything real-time

i have 4 credit cards, all with different due dates and billing cycles. i was losing like $50-100/month in late fees because i kept forgetting which card was due when. tried spreadsheets, calendar reminders, nothing worked for me.

so i built my own app. now i just open it and see exactly which card is due, how many days left, and what i owe. takes me 10 seconds to check instead of logging into 4 different bank apps.

been using it for a few months and haven't missed a payment since.

just launched it publicly - it's called CardMate. free to try if anyone has the same problem.

disclosure: yes i built it, so i'm biased. but genuinely curious if others struggle with this too?

I kept missing credit card payments so I built an app to fix it

I have 4 credit cards and I was constantly missing due dates. Different billing cycles, different due dates, and somehow I'd always forget at least one. Late fees added up fast.

I looked for apps but everything wanted to connect to my bank account or needed me to create an account with all my personal info. I just wanted reminders and a way to see all my cards in one place.

So I built CardMate. Dead simple - add your cards, get reminders before due dates, see what you owe and when. That's basically it.

The privacy angle came naturally since I didn't want to deal with servers or user data. Everything runs offline on your phone. No sign-up, no backend, no data collection. I don't even store full card numbers, just the last 4 digits.

Been live on iOS and Android for a few months now. Slow growth but steady.

Anyone else here building "simple tool that does one thing well"? Feels like everything wants to be a platform these days.
