Apps by Scott Bass

Apps for the gig, the car, the gym and the windowsill.

Seven small apps for iPhone and Mac, each one made because something bugged me.

Why these exist

One person, a lot of ideas, and a habit of fixing whatever annoys me.

01 · AN ITCH

Something annoys me

Typing a Japanese address into a rental car's navi. Gym apps full of ads. Spare monitors doing nothing at a gig. Every app starts there.

02 · I BUILD IT

Small and focused

Each app does one job well. Your data stays on your device wherever it can, with no accounts to make. Built with Claude.

03 · I BREAK IT

Real use, real bugs

At gigs, in the car, at the gym, on the windowsill. I report what broke, it gets fixed, and round we go until it's good.
