Apps

iPhone apps, built and tested on real devices.

Working apps for iPhone

These apps are permanently in development. Every one of them carries on being worked on after it is released: features get added, screens get reworked, and the things people ask for get built. The app you take up today is not the app you will have in a year — it should be a larger one, and a subscription covers what arrives as well as what is there now. Screens may therefore look different in the version you download; the screenshots here are not always updated the moment something changes.

The same interest in tight, practical software that shaped the Commodore 64 work still applies on modern hardware. These are complete, working iPhone apps rather than mock-ups — every screenshot below is taken on a real device. Tap any of them to see the full set of screens and how it fits together.

Already using one of these? App support covers bugs, subscriptions and codes that have not arrived.

Peaks and Paths

For walking in hills, not round a park. Every walk is broken down by gradient, because eight flat kilometres and eight up Scafell Pike are the same number and nothing alike.
