For the nomads among you

Thanks for the Lexie support. New languages coming - Danish is on the list, and their counting system is somehow more wild than French.

I know many of you are learning languages because you're traveling, moving, or living between countries. Same here. Lexie handles the language headache. I also built something for the visa/tax headache: Residency - a travel tracker that turns your photo library into trip history, then counts visa days, tax residency limits, and Schengen windows.


Started it last year when I needed 10 years of travel history for a Canadian work permit. Pointed it at my photos, reconstructed a decade of trips in minutes, got the visa. Finally launching it properly today:

Residency - Your photos know where you've been. We track consequences.

Other apps log where you've been. Residency shows what happens next. Scan your photos: it extracts every trip, filters out the noise (in-flight pictures, ferries, etc), and applies 120+ visa and tax rules automatically. Test future trips before you book to see if they'll trigger residency or break a limit. Keep documents, insurances, and driving permits organised with expiry alerts, export your history for tax filings or visa applications, and track with widgets. iOS 17+, private and on-device.

Lexie - A Tamagotchi that turns language practice into a game

French numbers are ridiculous. Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf? That's "four-twenty-ten-nine" for 99. Meet Lexie: a tamagotchi-inspired game that makes French practice stick – especially the ridiculous bits. It grows when you practice, evolves when you’re right, and doesn’t punish you for being wrong or missing a day. Fully offline, zero ads. French is free; extra languages are a one-time unlock.

Theseus - Liquid Glass UI, backported to iOS 13+ and open source.

Theseus is a lightweight Swift Package that backports the iOS 26 Liquid Glass aesthetic to iOS 13+. Inspired by the Ship of Theseus, it rebuilds modern glass UI effects (refraction, depth, and highlights) piece by piece, without relying on new OS features.
