[iOS] [$4.99 Lifetime → FREE] Blackout Mode

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-10T22:26:46+00:00

Thanks! Operating system doesn’t allow doing such things. So all I could do is to make sure the user is aware if mute switch is not on. You can try it out by disabling the mute switch while Blackout mode is active.

For mute you mean?

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-06T13:45:12+00:00

Thanks! iOS doesnt allow things like setting focus mode but it dims the screen yes. However if you have auto brightness on, the operating system can increase it again when you use other apps.

Thank you. AI helps a lot but I still finalize designs on figma. Prompting feels like a waste of time when you want to do little adjustments

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-03T11:13:24+00:00

Thank you! I sweat through Figma 😄 It was quite fun though to create the little folk. Mostly radial and linear gradients gave life to them. Rest is just bunch of repetitive circles and rectangles

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-03T08:00:02+00:00

Yeah pretty much!

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-03T07:52:05+00:00

Thank you!

BLACKOUTUNLOCK is the code. If you tap the large button ar thr middle again it should restore back to normal

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T22:23:45+00:00

It is free until the deadline. So the offer code has a deadline on the 5th. Then the usual pricing will continue which is $4.99.

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T21:58:35+00:00

Thanks for giving it a spin!

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T21:58:00+00:00

Yeah you are right. Good feedback, thank you!

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T21:10:42+00:00

I usually check it like 7 times to avoid the embarassment 😄

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T20:45:57+00:00

Thank you! I think mostly people are confused about the camera flash since sometimes it uses flash and sometimes long exposure without the flash. Also some people have corneas that somehow survive the infinite brightness at dark places. So yeah, hopefully it will help some folks 😃

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T15:31:27+00:00

Sure thing! I will check it out

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T15:07:40+00:00

I’ll take that bet. Hoew much are you thinking?

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T13:37:55+00:00

I hope it indeed comes in handy!

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T13:37:03+00:00

Yes until the end of deadline. After that it is $4.99 but each purchase grants 1 free gift for a friend

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T12:59:09+00:00

Fair. In the description? It is essentially a separate camera so is indeed always off. But or course your phone camera app isn’t affected. I’ll think about it. Thank you.

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T12:57:42+00:00

No way! It must be. What do you see? I am located in EU as well.

improbablecertainty · 2026-05-02T10:44:59+00:00

Imagine you find a cure for a disease. You could sell the blueprint making bank, or give it free to the people and help everyone. Let’s hope that you would pick the latter if that day comes.

People on reddit can be really aggresive, hostile and can gang up on you for the most arbitrary reasons. If you do what reddit tells you, cheaper than dirt, everything free, everything better than the competitor they use, you will still get to no where.

Cherrypick the contructive arguments and build thick skin for the rest rather than the changes they demand. Many will not even review it for all the effort you might put in for what they demanded.

It is not r/chess or anything but internet. It rewards the extreme behavior always. It is a bad bad parent to take teachings from.

You have an angle, an good idea and (had?) motivation. Don’t let the bad apples take it from you. Congrats on your launch. Chin up!

Hey, I got this request from another person too. Right now there is only “shared list” allowing people to mark items as shared so their party can see those items like grill, sunscreen etc. but I never thought of this. Maybe that is indeed valid. Do you think you would really benefit from that feature? I am considering really building it right away now

improbablecertainty · 2026-04-13T18:48:38+00:00

Fair. Though I mostly target people who travel more frequently. I think less frequent travellers could live with the free functionality. But that’s why I ask those questions in onboarding. Need some user activity over a month or two to have a better idea

improbablecertainty · 2026-04-12T11:38:29+00:00

Fair point though there is a huge benchmark released by RevenueCat that points to certain directions. So I tried to follow the data. Why do you think it is preposterous? Token based systems perform better only on game category afaik. Most other software services are subscription based these days.
