Skopje · Mac and iPhone · one person

Software for people who like their Mac.

Native apps and browser games, each designed, built and shipped by one person. Nothing asks you to sign up, and every app keeps what you type on your own machine.

Paid once or free. Never a subscription. Nothing on a server.

The apps

Native apps for Mac and iPhone.

Each one does a job macOS or iOS leaves half done, and does it without a server behind it. Paid once or free; never a subscription.

The games

Ten games that open in a browser tab.

They live at idad.fyi. No download, no account, no ads.

idad.fyi

Pick one and play.

Notes and courses

Written the way the apps are built.

A build write-up for every app, and the odd note on the craft. The courses are free, with no sign-up.

A trailer for Cadence, made by an agent for $6.13

OpenMontage runs video production as a pipeline an agent drives. It found thirty stock clips of real life, generated three more, picked the music by measuring it, and hand-wrote the Remotion composition. Thirty seconds, $6.13, no screenshots in it.

The person behind it

Gjorge Karakabakov, engineer in Skopje.

11+ years of React, React Native and Node.js, a good part of it leading the people building alongside him. The apps above are what he builds outside the day job. The CV, the career history and the industries he has worked in are on the profile.
