Pariahware

Work

Everything I've shipped, and what's next.

Own products, built native on each platform. Client work lives on its own page.

Building now

In development
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.

Shipped

Available 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.

Archive

No longer sold

Before the phone, the work was desktop shareware — Mac and Windows, mostly built in REALbasic and Real Studio, which is Xojo now. These aren't for sale and won't run on a current Mac, but they paid the bills for a decade and they're part of the record.

Doc Merge Archive · macOS · Windows

Merged Microsoft Word documents by dragging them onto the window and clicking one button. Shipped for both Mac and Windows, and later rewritten in Objective-C for the Mac App Store.

File Stitcher Archive · macOS · Windows

Joined MP3s end to end without re-encoding them, so nothing was lost in the process. Drag the files in, press Stitch. Mac and Windows.

Elastic Window Archive · Developer library

A class library sold to other developers: design your interface at one size and it resized itself sanely to any other. Written up in REALbasic Developer Magazine. Sold as encrypted classes or full source.

Shoo Apps Archive · macOS

Hid inactive applications per-app rather than all-or-nothing, to keep a crowded desktop under control.

Dictionary Editor Archive · macOS

Let you edit the OS X system dictionary directly — add the words it kept underlining, remove the ones it shouldn't have learned.
