About

I build iOS apps and I wish my personal project to be successful enough, so I could abandon freelance and implement my ideas. I have hundreds of them!

HeartBLE for Apple Watch - Turn Apple Watch into Bluetooth haert rate monitor

HeartBLE: Skip the chest strap. Broadcast your Apple Watch heart rate directly to Mac, PC, iPad, Zwift, Rouvy, MyWhoosh and any trainer — no iPhone in the middle. The only app in the niche that uses standard HR BLE protocol for true direct connection. No intermediate phone, no battery drain. Just enable Bluetooth + Health, pair once, tap Start. Reliable throughout your workout. Built by a cyclist for indoor cyclists, rowers & runners who hate chest straps and complicated phone setups.

A freelancer that works hard to become an indie developer

My name is Vladimir Kelin, I build iOS apps. Just search me on the App Store and you'll find 3 of them. However, it's been 10 years since I left working on a company and become and entrepreneur. Plans where big! And today... I have only 3 apps, and 3 more in development, some of them since 2017! What's my problem? Well, mostly it's a budget: I don't have enough revenue from the apps, so I have to provide freelance services. Good way to get rich experience, actually. But not the shortest way to accomplish my goal. What would you recommend?
