Even McFly didn't get this far in his DeLorean.

Studio services
We design and build native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
For companies with a concrete problem already: an app that stalled, an idea worth testing before investing in it, or a pile of data nobody looks at because it lives in eight spreadsheets. Native Swift, no layers in between, no dependencies with an expiry date.
App rescue
Your app no longer builds, fails review, or was maintained by someone who left.
Prototype sprint
Two weeks and you have something on your iPhone you can show.
First version (MVP)
The first real version on the App Store, scoped down to what matters.
Control and data analysis systems
Your data on a screen that answers, for whoever decides and for their team.
Worth a slower read
Calendar and tasks on one screen
Keeping your schedule in one place and your tasks in another is not an organisation problem. It is an information problem: you are deciding what fits in the day without ever seeing the whole day.
GTD on the iPhone, set up properly
GTD has a reputation for being complicated, and the way it gets explained is partly to blame. There are five steps. Four of them can be largely automated. The fifth decides whether the system survives.
One-time-purchase GTD apps: the sum nobody does
Searching for a “one-time payment” GTD app is rarely about business models. It is about not being bled monthly. Those are two different fears, and only one of them is solved by the price.
How Olena works without servers
“We have no servers” sounds like a slogan. It is an architectural decision with concrete consequences, good and bad — and one you can verify from the outside without taking our word for it.
Controlling OBS from your iPad
«Control OBS from my iPad» is really two different wishes, and mixing them up is why the tool you pick ends up disappointing. Here they are separated, with what each one costs.
How to build a live stream rundown
A rundown isn't written, it's assembled. It's a list of what you're going to show, in order, with a note on what to say over each one.
A teleprompter for solo streamers
With nobody in the gallery, the prompter stops being an autocue and becomes your only safety net. That changes what belongs on it.
Going live on a PC with Browser Source
A browser source turns any screen on your network into another output. It's the route for broadcasting from a PC without giving up control from your iPad.
Saving ideas for your next stream
Stream material turns up across the week and in five different places. Saving it well is what decides whether you have something to talk about on Thursday.
Productivity apps without the expensive subscription
A subscription isn't expensive or cheap because of its number. Almost everything you pay each year goes to servers and staff, not to the program in your hand.
The manifesto — read it slowly, like everything here
We don’t play at making apps.
Well — we do play.
We just play it very seriously.
We learned early that the only winning move is not to play — not ads, not dark patterns, not subscription traps. We prefer the other game: native Apple software, written at nearly a thousand metres by someone who uses it every day. That one we play all the way.

Up here the fibre is patchy and the distractions are patchier. What does arrive is time to think — which turns out to be the one framework that never goes obsolete.
