Indie dev intro: building simple, private-first iOS apps

by•
Hey everyone 👋 I’m an indie developer from Sweden working on small, focused iOS apps. So far I’ve released two: • CoordTool → a clean coordinate converter with support for multiple formats (DD, DMS, UTM, MGRS, RT90, SWEREF99) and some aviation tools like VOR/NDB radial + distance. • Simple PDF Scanner → a lightweight document scanner that works fully offline. My general philosophy when building is: • Privacy first → no tracking, no servers, everything stays on your device. • No unnecessary accounts → you shouldn’t need to sign up just to use a utility. • No subscriptions → if a product has no ongoing costs, I believe it should be a one-time purchase. I’m curious to connect with others who share this mindset – and also happy to hear how you think about pricing and privacy in indie apps. If you’d like to see more of what I’m building, I’ve started collecting my projects here 👉 mpktec.se
