Niels Hoogendoorn
I make small apps for ideas that stick around.
Mac and iPhone apps, mostly built in Swift, usually because I wanted the thing to exist. Some are practical, some are experiments, all are shaped around one clear idea.
What I care about
Small scope
The best version of an app is often the one that refuses to become five apps.
Native feel
I like software that belongs on the device it runs on: fast, familiar, and a little bit tactile.
Useful first
A good app earns its spot quickly: solve the problem, stay out of the way, respect the user.
Things I have made
Apps and experiments
Each one starts with a habit, a question, or a tiny idea that felt worth making real.
