About

Hi, I’m Chris.

I’m an independent software developer. I design, build and support every app on this site myself — from the first sketch to the support inbox.

My flagship app is On Record, a native app for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch that turns meetings into summaries, decisions and action items — with the AI running on your own Mac rather than someone else’s server.

Aviation runs through the rest of my work. Pilot Buddy puts the flight-planning maths flight simmers reach for most into one offline app for iPhone, iPad and Android, and ATLsim – CoPilot gives flight simmers a voice-controlled first officer for their checklists.

I care about software that is private by default, honest about what it does, and pleasant to use every day.

How I work

What every app should be.

  • Privacy is a design decision

    On Record runs its AI on your own Mac. Pilot Buddy doesn’t even ask for internet access. When an app doesn’t need your data, it shouldn’t have it.

  • Show your work

    In On Record, every summary point links back to the moment it was said. Software — especially AI — earns trust by letting you check it.

  • Small and focused

    Each app does a few things well, and feels at home on the platform it runs on.

  • A real person on the other end

    When you email for help, you reach the person who wrote the code.
