I stopped doing iOS for a bit, so figured I might as well open this up. Hope someone finds it useful.

What does it do? It didn't seem practical to me from screenshots, does it somehow understand you're running or doing commute from location/sensors?

It's just a simple time tracker: you press start, then stop. You can group things by activity (like timing your commute everyday). There is a "trip" type which will also take your current GPS coordinates and your end coordinates to give you a as-the-crow-flies line on a map. An obvious next feature would be to take your coordinates on a recurring interval to give you a better view of where you traveled.

Cool. You might need to indicate that fonts are OFL not MIT licensed though.

Thanks, I updated to reflect that.

Rad app, Dan

Thanks Hamilton, hope you're doing well.

Me too Me too! https://github.com/snowpool/ios_native_app Admittedly it's not quite as universal as yours - being just a wrapper for a carpooling site for ski fields (my own side project (August last year -> http://snowpool.org/countries/new-zealand#year=2013&month=8&... ) Still, I had help from a great developer colleague of mine - so there might be some useful things in there for people to look at.

And here's mine, a shopping list app: https://github.com/gschwarzer/Shopping-List

Awesome. I spec'd out literally the eact same app years ago but never did anything with it....

Good job

This is awesome

Thanks :)

Downloaded! This will be a great template for an app I plan on building.

In all sincerity, how useful is an open source iOS app? Don't you still need to pay their $100/year fee to distribute it? Wouldn't you have to jailbreak your phone just to install this yourself?

Open source iOS apps are extremely helpful to anyone learning iOS development. There are intricacies to learn, and not everywhere teaches it all. Looking at someone else's completed iOS source code you can learn and understand UI/UX design patterns, the MVC process of creating iOS apps, and so much more.

I recently took a course in college for iOS development, and because of open-source code I was able to ace the class and get picked-up for potential funding on the class project.

Yes you need to pay Apple the $99 to get it on your own device, and no you don't need to jailbreak (unless you want to circumvent the $99). Plus there are other ways to get the app on your device without paying or jailbreaking (creating your certificates, etc).

You can see the example code and run it on the simulator without paying for the developer program. I think there is also still a student program that lets students run code on hardware for free, but yes, you need to pay for the developer program to run it on your own iPhone/iPad. The MIT license also means that if someone else wants to maintain it they can fix it up and put it back in the store.

No you wouldn't need to jailbreak your phone to run it. You have the source code and you can compile that and xcode can install it.

XCode may be able to install it in the iOS Simulator but it certainly won't install on your device without the $99/year license (unless you jailbreak).

appaloosa-store.com is a private app-ecosystem, I believe you're allowed one free app on the free plan. Super simple to setup and install. You can also hook jenkins builds up to it.
