      <title>I built an iPhone app that helps during cravings, not just after relapses</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Most habit apps are dashboards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You open them after the hard moment, log what happened, and hope tomorrow goes better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted to build something more useful in the actual moment a craving hits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I made Quit All.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It has:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;streak tracking&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SOS craving mode&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GIF based distraction&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;relapse logging&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;danger time stats&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;savings and milestones&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new 1.1 update is focused on visibility. The idea is simple: if your streak is visible before you even open the app, the next good choice becomes a little easier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would love feedback from anyone building health, habit, or behavior change tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;App Store:&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quit-all-break-every-habit/id6760978934" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quit-all-break-every-habit/id6760978934&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I built a native iOS app for checking Vercel Analytics</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I kept opening Safari or Chrome just to check quick Vercel stats, so I built Verceltics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is a native iOS app for Vercel projects. You can check Web Analytics, deployments, domains, project metadata, and switch between accounts from your phone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal is simple: make the quick checks feel native instead of loading the full dashboard every time.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I built an open-source AI calorie tracker with 9 ways to log food</title>
      <dc:creator>Apoorv Darshan</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 12 May 2026 10:09:45 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/apoorvdarshan/i-built-an-open-source-ai-calorie-tracker-with-9-ways-to-log-food-34kl</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/apoorvdarshan/i-built-an-open-source-ai-calorie-tracker-with-9-ways-to-log-food-34kl</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I built Fud AI because food logging gets annoying fast once meals are not simple.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A photo is not always enough. Sometimes you need to say “extra olive oil”, scan a label, type a portion, reuse a saved meal, or manually fix the macros.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So Fud AI supports multiple logging paths:&lt;br&gt;
  photo, photo + note, nutrition label, voice, text, manual entry, saved meals, and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It estimates calories, macros, serving size, and optional nutrients, then lets you review before saving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No account required. Local-first. BYOK friendly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://fud-ai.app" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://fud-ai.app&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I built a BYOK AI calorie tracker because food logging is still too slow</title>
      <dc:creator>Apoorv Darshan</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 02:24:17 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/apoorvdarshan/i-built-a-byok-ai-calorie-tracker-because-food-logging-is-still-too-slow-1hmf</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/apoorvdarshan/i-built-a-byok-ai-calorie-tracker-because-food-logging-is-still-too-slow-1hmf</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Most calorie trackers work, but logging food still feels like friction. You either search manually, guess portions, scan labels, or spend too much time fixing entries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built Fud AI to make that flow faster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fud AI can log meals from photos, nutrition labels, text, and voice. It uses AI to turn messy input into structured food data: calories, macros, grams, and editable serving units.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The part I care about most is BYOK. You can bring your own Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Anthropic, or compatible API key and use the app without being locked into a hosted AI subscription. For non-&lt;br&gt;
technical users, there is also Fud AI Plus, which removes the API key setup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A few things it supports:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Photo food logging&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nutrition label scanning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Text and voice meal logging&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Smart units like slices, pieces, cups, and ml&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grams as the editable source of truth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apple Health sync&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Macro tracking&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI Coach&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Food log sorting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Custom themes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal is simple: make calorie tracking fast enough that people actually keep doing it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;App Store: &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fud-ai-calorie-tracker/id6758935726" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fud-ai-calorie-tracker/id6758935726&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>I built a native iOS app for Vercel Web Analytics</title>
      <dc:creator>Apoorv Darshan</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 01:50:31 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/apoorvdarshan/i-built-a-native-ios-app-for-vercel-web-analytics-lg5</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/apoorvdarshan/i-built-a-native-ios-app-for-vercel-web-analytics-lg5</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I use Vercel a lot, and I kept checking Web Analytics through Chrome/Safari.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That worked, but it did not feel like the right experience for quick checks. I wanted a native app where I could see analytics, projects, deployments, domains, referrers, devices, countries, UTM data, and&lt;br&gt;
  more without using a browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I built Verceltics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is a native iOS app for Vercel users, built with SwiftUI and Swift Charts. It supports Web Analytics breakdowns, projects, domains, deployments, multi-account switching, and quick project actions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The app is open source. Vercel tokens are stored locally in the iOS Keychain, and analytics data is fetched directly from Vercel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is not affiliated with Vercel. It is just a focused native companion for people who already use Vercel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;App Store: &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/verceltics/id6761645656" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://apps.apple.com/us/app/verceltics/id6761645656&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>open sourced my VERCEL web analytics iOS app</title>
      <dc:creator>Apoorv Darshan</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://forem.com/apoorvdarshan/open-sourced-my-vercel-web-analytics-ios-app-846</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;i kept opening the Vercel dashboard in Safari/Chrome and logging in on my laptop to check traffic and it was painful. so i built a native app for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SwiftUI + Swift Charts, zero dependencies. the whole codebase is OPEN SOURCED on GitHub.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you can fork the repo and build it yourself through Xcode for FREE. the App Store version has a subscription just to keep it maintained and convenient as a one tap install.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Source Code: &lt;a href="https://github.com/apoorvdarshan/verceltics" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/apoorvdarshan/verceltics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Download Now: &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/verceltics/id6761645656" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://apps.apple.com/us/app/verceltics/id6761645656&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;A) Smoking&lt;br&gt;
B) Vaping&lt;br&gt;
C) Alcohol&lt;br&gt;
D) Doomscrolling&lt;br&gt;
E) All of the above&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built an app that handles all them. It fights cravings with memes. Yes, memes.&lt;/p&gt;
