Independent app developer
Free apps for iPhone, Android, and the web - a remote camera, two guessing games, a Wikipedia race, and a calendar planner.
Physical distance · metres
Utilities · English
Prop one phone up as the camera and hold the other as a live remote. You see the real shot before you take it, then tap - or just say “cheese” - and it saves to both phones. Works up to 300 metres apart with no internet, so nobody has to hand a stranger their phone or sprint back for the timer.
Link distance · clicks
Games · English
You get two Wikipedia articles and one rule: reach the second using nothing but the blue links inside the first. Fewest clicks and fastest time win. There are 50+ levels, and you can send any race to a friend to see who takes the shorter path. It is the six-degrees-of-Wikipedia idea, built to be played.
Geographic distance · kilometres
Games · עברית / Hebrew
A Hebrew geography game. You get the name of an Israeli town, you drop a pin on a blank map, and you score on how close you landed. The closer the pin, the more points. 600+ towns and cities in the database, and leaderboards against players in Israel and abroad.
Semantic distance · meaning
Games · עברית / Hebrew · on the App Store as מילה דומה
Semantle, in Hebrew. One secret word hides each day, and every guess is scored on how close it is in meaning rather than spelling. Instead of guessing at spelling you think in ideas and associations, and close in step by step. Play free in the browser, or get it on your phone as מילה דומה.
Distance in time · hours
Productivity · English
Tell Goaly a goal - “run three times a week” - and its AI reads your Google Calendar, finds the free slots, and books them as real events. When a last-minute meeting takes one of those slots, Goaly quietly finds the goal a new time instead of letting it vanish. It picks up where Google Calendar’s retired Goals feature left off.
