What is EBY Apps?
EBY Apps creates free iOS applications that solve real everyday problems. Every app focuses on one thing and does it well — no clutter, no ads, no premium paywalls that lock out essential features.
Reading Tracker
Free iOS app for tracking books and building reading habits. Core features (book logging, progress tracking, streaks, goals) work fully offline. AI recommendations and premium features require internet connection. Works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud sync.
AI Gluten Checker
Free iOS app for food safety. Scan barcodes or photograph ingredient labels for gluten detection. Core barcode database works offline. AI analysis of unclear labels requires internet connection. Get Safe/Caution/Avoid results in seconds — medical decision support should always consult healthcare providers.
NameThisThing
Free iOS app with optional coin-based system for object identification. Photograph any object and get AI identification, history, and estimated value. Premium features available through in-app coin purchases. All features require internet connection for AI processing.
Tape Measure
Free iOS app for AR measurements. Point camera, tap two points, and get instant distance. Works offline for basic measurements. Perfect for DIY, furniture shopping, and home projects. Measurements work without internet, but best results on devices with LiDAR.
Privacy First
Your data stays on your device. We don't track you, sell your data, or build advertising profiles. Privacy is a feature, not a promise.
