Apps built small.
On purpose.

Subscription-funded apps for things that matter. No ads, no data sold, narrow on purpose. I'd rather build two apps you actually love than ten you tolerate.

Homeschooler

Hours, attendance, and state compliance — without the spreadsheet.

A simple, fast app for tracking homeschool hours and printing the reports your state actually wants. Built for parents who'd rather be teaching.

Rooted

A shared journal for the people closest to you.

Rooted is a small, private space for a handful of people to stay close — closer to a shared journal than a social network. No feeds, no algorithm, no strangers.

App №3

A third app is in early sketches. The studio is deliberately small — three apps is plenty for a while.

// the why

Three rules I won't break.

01

Subscriptions, not ads.

If we're not selling your attention, we don't have to fight you to keep it. The fee is small and the app is yours.

02

Narrow on purpose.

Each app does one thing well. No platform creep, no dashboards-of-dashboards, no features-as-marketing. Smaller surface = fewer bugs = more time on what matters.

03

Quiet by default.

Notifications, badges, and streaks are off until you turn them on. Education and relationships should not feel like a slot machine.

Got an app idea I should build?

The catalog is short on purpose. If you've got a small, sharp idea that fits the rules above, I'd love to hear it.
