Software built by the person you talk to.

An independent studio working on native apps for iPhone, Mac, and Android, and the backends underneath them. No account managers, no handoffs — you talk to whoever is writing the code.

Building now

Own products
The Register In development · iOS · macOS · Android

Multiple accounts, categories, transfers, splits, recurring bills, budgets, receipt photos, and twelve reports. Built because the app I relied on for a decade was abandoned with my data inside it.

Roadie In development · iOS · Android · Server

Start a shared drive, hand out a five-digit PIN, and everybody navigates the same route while seeing each other move on the map. Plus round-trip loops generated from the twistiest roads near you.

DBMan In development · iOS · Android

Browse tables, views, indexes, and triggers; write real SQL with syntax highlighting; keep the queries you run often. Originally an iPad app, being rebuilt on both platforms.

Porsche GTS Watch Face In development · Wear OS

A Wear OS watch face reproducing the illuminated Porsche tach. No application code at all — the whole thing is declarative XML the watch renders itself.

On the stores now
Biblicious iOS · macOS · Android

625 questions across the Old Testament, the New Testament, or the whole Bible, every one of them read aloud. Speed-weighted scoring, global leaderboards, and a practice mode with no clock.

ChimeX iOS · macOS · Android

Westminster chimes on the hour, quarter past, half past, and quarter of, over a full-screen clock. Optional hour bong that tolls out the count.

Snake Tracker iOS · Android

Feedings, sheds, weights, temperature and humidity, water changes, spot cleans, substrate changes — logged per animal, with photos and a full history timeline.

Christmas Light Finder iOS · Server

Find the Christmas light displays near you on a map, and drop a pin on the ones you find yourself. Everybody's pins go in the same map, and it starts fresh every season.

What I reach for

It all depends on where the data lays. Native on each platform, hand-written twice rather than shared badly — and whatever the server needs to be.

Client work

Since 2001

Twenty-five years of contract work behind the products — fraud detection algorithms, stage lighting control, syslog tooling, speech processing, and a long tail of things that were odd enough to be interesting.
