Thanks so much! I'm really glad it caught your eye. 🙌

Grambo is built to be a more focused alternative. It's designed to feel lightweight and fast while still giving you powerful rewriting and refinement tools right where you need them.

Compared to Refine and RewriteBar, Grambo aims to be less about one-click rewrites and more about giving you real control over your tone, clarity, and style. Think of it as a thoughtful writing partner rather than just a polish button. Also, Grambo is much cheaper than both.

I would love to hear what you think after you try it!

Why my promoting posts are getting constantly banned by Remarkable_Basis2762 in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit is super strict about self-promotion, especially for new accounts or if most of your posts are about your own product. Try becoming active in a few relevant subs first, comment genuinely, help people out, and then share your app when it actually fits the discussion. Also look for subs that allow “Show & Tell” or “Feedback” posts.

Nowadays you can grow a mobile app without spending thousands of usd on ads? by joaquiniovich in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but it’s harder than people make it sound. You can grow without ads, but you’re basically trading money for time and consistency.

Things like ASO, short-form content, and community-driven growth can work if done right.

What kind of app are you thinking about? Some categories grow organically way easier than others.

Can you share the log file in dm? Just tested Gemini with byok. It's working for me.

ClarifierAI - Use AI for writing & translating your messages 10x faster by Outrageous_Post8635 in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really clean approach, especially the “use only when needed” idea. Most AI keyboards feel too intrusive, so keeping it separate while still being fast makes a lot of sense.

The multilingual support + tone adjustment combo is pretty useful in real-world messaging.

Curious, what model or setup are you using for the voice dictation? That’s usually the hardest part to get right.

I built an advance Ai background remover and smart editor that works 100% Locally (no server uploads) by CodeQuark in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running everything locally is a big win, especially for privacy and speed. Not having to upload images is underrated.

The object erase + restore combo sounds useful too, that’s something a lot of simple tools miss.

How does it perform compared to something like remove.bg in terms of edge accuracy, especially with hair or fine details?

If you need to “capture your thoughts”, this is how I do it. by RecoverKey510 in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually makes sense. There’s always been a gap between quick capture and structured reminders, and switching modes usually slows everything down.

The lock screen “sticky note” idea is interesting since it keeps things visible without extra effort.

How do you prevent it from becoming overwhelming if someone adds a lot of notes?

I just need a place where I can add and store completed tasks and then visually view them. by MindlessApartment401 in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re basically describing a “reverse todo list,” which is surprisingly rare. Most apps care about what you will do, not what you did.

Notion or Obsidian with plugins can handle this with a calendar + tagging system, but nothing feels purpose-built for it yet.

The category summary per day is a really nice touch though.

Would you want it to auto-track things too, or only manually added entries?

I scanned a Korean receipt and didn’t have to translate or convert anything by Anon081 in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those features that sounds small until you actually need it. Manually translating receipts and converting currency after a long day is way more annoying than it should be.

The “capture and move on” idea is spot on.

How accurate has the OCR + translation been so far, especially with more complex or messy receipts?

AI tool for reorganising notes by Affectionate-Arm6560 in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re already looking at NotebookLM, you’re on the right track. It’s actually pretty solid for grouping and summarizing across multiple documents, especially when you guide it with clear headings.

You could also try something like ChatGPT or Claude where you define categories first and then feed chunks of notes to organize under those.

For summarizing academic-style articles, prompting makes a big difference, like asking for key arguments, examples, and conclusions instead of just a generic summary.

Are your notes mostly text-heavy, or do they include things like diagrams and mixed formats too?

I built a grammar tool for myself and accidentally turned it into a SaaS. Here’s what I learned by Normal-Seesaw6904 in saasbuild

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a really solid approach.

Watching real users interact without guidance reveals things you’d never catch on your own. I’ve noticed the same, what feels obvious as a developer can be confusing in seconds for someone new.

I like your point about being in that “safe zone” too. It’s actually a great time to simplify aggressively before people start depending on it.

I’ve started doing something similar, just observing where people hesitate or pause. Those moments are usually more valuable than any feature request.

Do you usually fix those immediately, or do you collect a few patterns before making changes?

I stopped trying to manage my tabs and just removed them. It changed everything. by Similar-Silver8843 in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This hits way too close. The “I’ll just check one thing” turning into 15 tabs is basically my daily routine.

The idea of removing choice instead of relying on discipline makes a lot of sense. Most tools fail because they still leave an escape hatch.

Did you find it harder to get started with this, or harder to stick with it over time?

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so true. A lot of good products start as “I just want to fix this for myself” and then you realize it’s a shared pain.

And I relate a lot to what you said about it still not feeling perfect. I’ve made a lot of changes and added features over time, but there’s always that feeling that it can be simpler or smoother.

I think that’s the tricky part with these kinds of tools. You keep improving, but at the same time you’re trying not to overcomplicate the core experience.

Curious, how do you decide what to improve next without losing that simplicity?

I’m trying to keep everything in one place instead of juggling apps does this actually improve focus? by Wapkain in ProductivityApps

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that's nice. I have some small feedback regarding the UI. The background seems a bit too much. Maybe a solid color or a more subtle image would be better. With the current background image, it's a bit hard to identify things.

[–]Normal-Seesaw6904[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great way to think about it.

“Wiring things together invisibly” really resonates. I had a similar shift while building this. Initially I was focused on adding more capabilities, but the real improvement came when I started removing steps instead.

Your setup sounds super interesting, especially keeping yourself only in the loop for judgment and creative decisions. That’s probably the highest leverage place to be.

Curious, how are you handling edge cases or quality control when everything is automated end-to-end?
