Quietly Useful apps.

Apps I have designed, built, released, and support myself.
Quietly Useful portfolio

Practical apps for everyday routines.

Five calm iPhone apps so far, covering music and audiobooks from your own server, renewals, nutrition labels, cleaning routines, and pet care records.

I did all of it myself. The design, the build, the App Store submissions, the privacy notes, the support docs, and the emails when something breaks. Shipping and then living with your own software teaches you things about what teams will actually adopt, and that goes straight back into the client work.

Case study ยท Retired

NutriTracker: an AI product, built solo.

No longer available. Kept here for what building it showed about using AI to make real software.
What it was

AI coaching for food, fitness, and habits

Six coaching personas that adapted to how each person actually lived, rather than one generic chatbot.

What I built

Three platforms, one person

I designed, built, and shipped it on my own, on iOS, Android, and the web, using AI throughout the build as well as inside the product.

Where it went

Retired, lessons kept

I have stopped developing it and taken the backend down. What it taught me about building with AI now goes into client work and every Quietly Useful app since.
