Design first
Every app starts with references and a design canvas. Code comes after the look is right.
I build apps for
the way I live.
Hi, I’m Yorben. I design and build native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac. A portfolio tracker, a daily cockpit, a PDF reader made of ice, two games and the quiet screen in our living room. Every one of them runs on my own devices, every day.
Work
Six apps, all in daily use.
Tap one to see what it does and how it looks up close.
Rime
macOS · study
A PDF reader where only the page is left. Everything else on the screen freezes over.
Cockpit
macOS
My whole day in one window: agenda, mail that needs me, portfolio and music.
Cairn
iPhone
Every market in one portfolio, in euro.
AeroCommand
iPad · game
Run an airline from a satellite globe, down to 3D airports.
Waybill
iPad · game
A logistics idle game in toy-scale 3D. Every truck really drives.
Home Hub
iPad Air 2 · living room
A calm screen beside the fireplace. Weather, trains, music and the house, on a 2014 iPad.
About
How I build.
Native and light
Swift and Apple’s own frameworks, no trackers. Home Hub idles at about 2% CPU on a 2014 iPad.
Built for real use
My iPhone, my iPad, my Mac and our living room. If I don’t use it every day, it isn’t done.
