About

Hi, I'm Darryl, a solo developer and the founder of Syntax and Soul. I build thoughtfully designed iOS apps that help people feel calmer, healthier, and more present. I'm passionate about creating simple, distraction-free experiences that solve real problems without adding complexity. My latest project, Somnera, was born from the idea that relaxation apps should feel peaceful from the moment you open them—no ads, no endless feeds, just immersive sounds and calming stories. I'm always learning, shipping, and improving. I love connecting with other makers, hearing honest feedback, and building products that people genuinely enjoy using.

Somnera - Calm your mind with immersive sounds and stories

Life is noisy. Somnera gives you a quiet place to unwind through immersive soundscapes and soothing sleep stories. Unlike many wellness apps, Somnera keeps the experience simple—no ads, no feeds, and no distractions. Whether you're winding down after work, managing stress, or preparing for sleep, Somnera helps you press play and simply be present.
