I build apps. One person. On purpose.

The company is called aaic - An Absurdly Independent Company. The name is accurate. There are no investors, no co-founders, and no roadmap. These are features, not bugs.

I make small software with a point of view. Each app exists because I had a strong opinion that the existing options were wrong. So far this has produced one app. More are coming, Probably.

Current product: Uphill - a productivity app that doesn't pretend getting things done is effortless. It isn't, The app knows this.
