How I decide which app to build next
With one person and no investors, every app has to earn its place. Here is the filter an idea has to pass before it becomes a Flowstate app.
The end-of-shift habit that pays off
The value of a tip tracker is not any single number. It is the small habit of logging every shift, and what that record tells you a month later.
Continent to city: how precisely to track a place
A weekend in a city and a layover on a continent are not the same kind of visit. Worldly lets you choose how precisely to log each place.
A viewer, not another dashboard
HogWatch never writes back to PostHog. That single constraint is what makes it safe to hand your analytics key to a phone app.
Beating decision fatigue on a free afternoon
The problem is rarely a lack of things to do. It is the small, draining decision of choosing one. SideQuest removes that decision.
The idea behind Flowstate Industries
Flowstate Industries is a one-person studio making small, offline-first iOS apps. Here is why it exists, and what that means for the people who use them.
Knowing what you really earn on tips
If you live on tips, your real hourly wage is surprisingly hard to see. Here is why a simple tip tracker for servers and bartenders changes that.
Checking your PostHog analytics from your phone
PostHog is excellent in a browser and clumsy on a phone. Here is the case for a native PostHog mobile client you can glance at anywhere.
A private map of everywhere you have been
A travel tracker for the places you have been, that fills in a globe as you go and keeps your history entirely on your phone.
Turning your city into real-life quests

Splitting trip expenses without the spreadsheet
One person always fronts the group trip. Here is how to split travel expenses and see who owes whom, from a single phone and fully offline.
