StickerForge Is Live

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Every Tuesday I ship something. This week it is StickerForge, a free AI sticker maker that runs in your browser.

The problem is that making a custom sticker used to require design software, a tablet, and a few hours. Or you paid someone. Or you settled for whatever came with the app. If you wanted a clay-style cartoon version of your dog for iMessage, there was no quick way to get it.

Gratuity Is Live

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Every Tuesday I ship something. This week it is Gratuity, a free tip calculator for iPhone.

The math at the end of a restaurant meal is never difficult, but it is always annoying. Someone has to do it, and however you split it, someone feels like they overpaid. Gratuity handles all three scenarios your group might land on: a quick tip calculation, a split by what each person ordered, or a straight even divide.

Pacesmith Is Live

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Every Tuesday I ship something. This week it is Pacesmith, a VDOT running calculator for iOS.

If you train with Jack Daniels’ running formula, you know what VDOT is. It is the number that ties your current fitness to five training zones, from easy runs to all-out repetitions. The problem is that the official VDOT app limits free users to three calculations a day, and the alternatives are either $12.99 a month or last updated in 2015. Pacesmith does the same job for $1.99, once, with no account and no network required.

Just Habits Is Live

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Just Habits is now on the App Store. It is a habit tracker that does not care about your streaks.

That might sound like a strange selling point, but streaks are the thing that makes most habit apps eventually backfire. You miss one day, your streak breaks, and suddenly the app that was supposed to help you is making you feel like a failure. I wanted something that shows you what you actually did without punishing you for being human.

Train531 Is Live

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Every Tuesday I ship something. This week it is Train531, and I already have my first paying subscriber who is not me.

Train531 is a strength training app for iPhone and iPad built around Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 program. If you have ever run 5/3/1 you know the deal: it is a proven system, but managing the percentages, picking supplemental templates, and programming accessories gets tedious fast. Most people end up with a spreadsheet. Train531 replaces the spreadsheet with an AI coach that actually knows the program.
