Make your own typeface
A typeface maker for iPhone, iPad and Mac: a bespoke font in seconds, with no drawing. Press a letter and turn, then send it anywhere as a real TrueType file, or as a poster.

A book tracker for iPhone and iPad: your books stand spine out on four shelves: Reading, Up Next, Wishlist and Finished. Scan a barcode or paste a bookstore link to add one, and start a Book Club with friends.
Twisty routes & group rides
The motorcycle GPS for iPhone: twisty routes, turn-by-turn voice navigation and group rides nobody has to sign up for.

00:00.00
A live meter playing real recordings of a bark, a snore, a cough, a horn and a sneeze, tagging each sound as it is recognised.
Train your own image classifier
Train a machine-learning image classifier on your iPhone: record short clips of your cat, a parcel or your mug, and the camera records only when it spots them.
