I created a free golf app with advanced visualization none of the paid apps have.

New in the latest release: you can print your personalized Playbook at home (print, cut, fold, staple).

I've been playing on a national amateur golf tour for over ten years. Before each event, I'd spend hours on Google Earth — figuring out where to aim on every hole and which club to hit. It got very cumbersome very soon. I wanted a tool that did the spatial reasoning for me. Take my dispersion, the wind, the elevation, the hazards — and just show me the right line on a flyover. Visually, not in numbers.

So I built Golf Playbook (iOS).

Free, no subscription. Built our course data from OpenStreetMap instead of licensing an expensive commercial database. Different cost structure, different price.

Tech: SwiftUI, Apple Foundation Models, OpenStreetMap data. Many nights and weekends. Always looking for feedback.

Originally I planned to name it ellarum - means "everybody" in Malayalam. But then I changed it to Family Matters to attract the target users when they search.

The app is a simple Form builder for collaborative private group tasks. It includes some sample Templates useful for a family. For e.g., Shopping List, Family Radar, Travel Journal, Football Scorecard, Weight Tracker, etc.

The user can create such Forms or customize existing ones with the Builder.

My idea was rejected by YC last year, but I went ahead a built it anyway. Let me know your thoughts.

I have made the app free (otherwise $1.99) for a day to let everybody review it.

Just added WorldsPlay.com. It helps to plan events with others with similar hobbies. Currently we are working on the beta release.
