Indie developers are shipping niche, privacy-forward tools for Mac and iOS in 2025. Here are five fresh releases shaking up the utility-first scene: OlaFic, Invoice ASAP, Headphone Cleaner, ClearOut, and ConvertFast.
OlaFic offers an AI Coach for personalized guidance, calorie tracking via photo, water reminders, and weight management support. It’s in TestFlight for early testers [1].
Invoice ASAP is an iOS invoicing tool for freelancers and small businesses. It lets you create invoices and estimates quickly, add your logo and themes, convert estimates to invoices, export PDFs or CSVs, and track payments with simple reports [2]. EU availability isn’t ready yet due to the Digital Services Act review [2].
Headphone Cleaner aims to scrub dust and moisture from headphones using cleaning frequencies; it’s free to try and invites feedback [3].
ClearOut helps clean camera rolls with on-device processing, swiping left to delete, right to keep, plus daily streaks and an All Clear mode [4].
ConvertFast is a desktop app that converts files locally, with 2,500+ formats, batch processing, and bonus PDF, image, and audio tools—no uploads, no internet [5].
These indie launches point to a trend: privacy-first, offline-first utilities that run on Mac and iOS.
