Independent iOS Developer

Small iOS apps, built with a point of view.

One developer, a handful of apps. Each one opinionated on purpose, and none of them abandoned. The oldest has been on the App Store since 2017.


The work

Four live on the App Store. One almost there.

How I build

Three rules every feature has to pass before it ships.

  1. 01

    Opinion over options

    Most apps optimize for flexibility: a setting for every preference, a screen for every workflow. These optimize for opinion. Skedra picks how a semester is shaped. Fablora picks how a story unfolds. Two strong choices beat fifty soft ones.

  2. 02

    Calm by default

    No streaks. No “you’re losing your progress” panic. No mascots. The screen never yells at you to come back. If a feature only works because the user feels guilty about not using it, it doesn’t ship, even when the metrics love it.

  3. 03

    Built to stay

    Indie apps ship and disappear. Flashwords has been on the App Store since 2018. None of these are abandoned betas; they’re maintained on the same schedule, by the same person, year after year.
