I'm a first-time developer, having built a career as a TV quiz producer. As a puzzle & game enthusiast, I have always created my own puzzles and hoped for an idea worth developing into its own app - Chess Peace was that idea!

Photosynthesis: 2-Lens Camera - Use 100% of your camera

Photosynthesis is an innovative camera app for iPhone that takes photos from two lenses at once, then stitches them into one extraordinary result. Photosynthesis enables you to use 100% of your camera, combining the scope of the wider lens with the detail of the closer one. The app uses no generative AI, only real pixels are combined to give you the best of both lenses. iPhone Pro & Pro Max users can choose to pair 1x + Zoom, or 1x + 0.5x, or All 3 (beta), while 2-lens iPhones use 1x + 0.5x.

Chess Peace - A peaceful puzzle game for iPhone, no chess knowledge needed

The puzzle at the core of Chess Peace is genuinely original: place one of each chess piece on an irregular board so no piece can take another. Rather than the conflict of traditional chess, here players find Chess Peace. It works for non-chess players and experts. It contains 26,500 puzzles of 3 difficulties across 5 modes, each a twist on the core rule, plus free Daily Puzzles. I'm a TV quiz producer, as well as a chess, puzzle & tech lover. This is my first app, built entirely independently.
