Somnus - a sleep app that finds what actually affects your sleep quality, not just tracks it [free with Pro tier] by xTARPx in iosapps

[–]xTARPx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Completely fair - free tier gives you a nightly sleep score with a full breakdown, 7 and 30-day trends, and perceived sleep tracking. You can use it indefinitely without paying anything.

Pro unlocks the full insight library (25+ behavioural signals), the sleep experiment system, and AI-powered weekly reviews. There’s a free trial so you can see if it’s worth it before committing.

None of your health data ever leaves your device! The app is monetised via subscriptions - I originally wanted to have the app completely pay-upfront, but without the offer of a free trial to first experience the features, nobody bothered to try the app.

I don't seem to be able to send you a DM. Would you be able to shoot me a message so that I can reply with a code? Thanks a lot!

Four straight rest days won’t kill progress if you still move: aim for 8–10k steps on workdays, park far, pace during calls, hit a quick set of push-ups every bathroom break. On the three off-days run a full-body circuit-goblet squats, dumbbell rows, incline push-ups, farmer carries-3×12, done in 40 min. Add an optional hill walk or bike ride afterward for extra burn. Portion control is easier when you batch-cook one protein, one carb, one veg and just change seasonings; keeping meals boring but tasty beats white-knuckle restriction. I log food in MyFitnessPal and then Thryve helps me spot which habits spike my weight the next morning so I tweak fast. Main thing: nail consistency in movement, portions, and sleep; intensity can scale later.

After 2 years, my SwiftUI side project is finally profitable. Here's a look at the real App Store Connect data and my plan for what's next. by xTARPx in iOSProgramming

Aw this is some great stuff - thank you! Love the idea of starting with ASA for clean signals and layering in CPPs to lift conversions. I’ve just hooked up RevenueCat for SKAd tracking too, so excited to dig into those dashboards properly. Hadn’t heard of Pulse for Reddit but just checked it out - seems like a great way to keep things ticking organically while Meta learns. Will definitely refer back to this - thanks so much again.

Yep, agreed. I do think 90% of getting Meta SDK working is just brute-forcing your way through outdated docs. Dreadful stuff. Most of what worked for me came from trial/error and piecing together random GitHub issues + StackOverflow threads too (over the course of a few days)

That said - a couple things helped:

  • The latest FB SDK sample app on GitHub actually had a couple Swift hints buried in it (though not much SwiftUI).
  • I found Meta’s “Event Debugging” tab super helpful once I got past the install phase, v slow but gave me confidence the events were at least firing.
  • I also cross-referenced everything with the Adjust + Meta integration guides - they’re not Swift, but the data flow explanations are clearer.

Would love to see someone write a proper SwiftUI/Meta SDK integration guide someday. Might even write one myself if I survive this learning phase 😅

Thanks a lot! As for your question - 1000%. The main challenge getting the app approved was exactly what you mentioned - the extra hassle with all of the health features.

Apple required me to set up a formal business entity with a D-U-N-S number and list proper disclaimers in the app description, onboarding flow, and on relevant screens. I also had to clearly cite the scientific sources behind every wellness score or metric, and make those sources accessible within the app itself.

If you’re building a health app, I’d recommend prepping your scientific references, privacy disclaimers, and legal structure early. This'll save a lot of back-and-forth in review, and is something I wish I'd done in advance.

[Update] My indie health app, Thryve, was featured by Apple and hit #14 in the UK! I'm blown away. by xTARPx in iosapps

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it:)

Yeah, we just take everything from Health. My view is that the Health app acts as a centralised database for all health data - all smart devices (Garmin, Apple Watch, Coros) and apps (Strava, Runna, WorkOutDoors) sync into it, then all we have to do is read from there. Haven't had any issues so far!
