Thanks for the hunt, Rob! It was tough making such major design changes to a popular app when no one was really demanding an overhaul, but I had been dying to bring CARROT's iOS app more in line with her ultra-customizable Apple Watch app. It turned out even better than I expected. I don’t think you can possibly have more fun checking the weather now :P One feature I want to highlight is that I...

Hi everyone! So excited to finally get Artificial Superintelligence out there, been working on this for over a year now. Of course all the other CARROT apps have had a bunch of game-like features, but building a proper game has always been a dream of mine. A choosable-path adventure that's part Silicon Valley startup comedy, part crazy scifi epic seemed like the perfect fit. Probably the...

Thanks a lot for the hunt, Robleh! I had a ton of fun coming up with these stickers and all the accompanying insults and pop culture references. I’m planning to add more stickers in the next update. I’d love to hear your ideas! (Already on the list: a literal dumpster fire; a bunch of severed thumbs with the text “Thumbs Up;” and a candy bar, lollipop, and razor blade with the text “Happy...

Thanks for the hunt, Ria! CARROT To-Do grew out of my frustration with to-do lists - they were all over-complicated and boring, and I always forgot to use them because they provided no incentive to keep coming back. I loved the idea of adding "gamification" features to keep users engaged, but I wanted to go beyond just adding points and badges. I play games for the story, characters, and...

Thanks for the hunt, @robjama! I’d always wanted a really great weather app for the Mac because I spend most of my time sitting in front of it. I wanted to hit a hotkey and have the weather pop up no matter what app I'm in - or even better, have the app tell *me* if bad weather's coming my way without having to open it. And coming off the great reception for CARROT Weather for iOS, I wanted to...

I'm super excited to bring CARROT and her hilarious weather reports to the Apple Watch. I worked hard to pack tons of information into a single, easy-to-read screen so you can plan out the day and week ahead without having to swipe or tap a bunch of times. You can get more detail just by tapping each section - and you can even switch locations with Force Touch. Of course, the app is filled with...

Had a ton of fun making CARROT Weather! I always wanted an app that combined short term, 24-hour, and 7-day forecasts, but was able to figure out which type of forecast I would want to see based on context. So if it's raining/snowing, it shows me the forecast for the next hour. If it's not, it shows me the hourly forecast. And if I'm checking the weather for a place that's not my current...

CARROT's Maker here! I built Alarm because I always had so much trouble waking up in the morning, and what better way to do force you out of bed than with a malevolent supercomputer yelling at you? CARROT has generously un-handcuffed me from my desk to answer any questions you may have.

Hi everyone! I'm responsible for unleashing CARROT on the world. Wanted to build an app that took all the boring little things you have to do in most apps (like enter your gender, age, etc) and make it fun. Let me know if you have any questions!
