Solo Android dev, focused utility apps

About

Solo Android developer building small, focused apps that solve one real problem well — no bloat, no unnecessary permissions, no accounts required unless they genuinely add value. My first release, Home Secured, came out of my own habit of driving back home to check if I'd locked the door or turned off the stove. It's a simple departure checklist that gives you a timestamped answer instead of a guess. I'm drawn to problems that are small in scope but genuinely annoying in daily life — the kind of thing everyone has a version of, but nobody's built a clean, no-friction solution for. Long-term, I want to keep building a handful of these focused utility apps rather than one large, everything-app.

During my time in international communities, I got quite a few offers to become a marketing co-founder.

I accepted exactly zero.

Usually, it was because:
