About

Hi, I'm Alper

I'm an independent mobile developer based in Istanbul. I've been building software since 2000 — long enough to have shipped my first sites when a "mobile app" still meant WAP. These days I design and develop native iOS and Android apps on my own, from the first sketch to the listing on the store.

Everything you see here is made by one person. I write the Swift and the Kotlin, draw the icons, design the screens, handle the servers, and answer the support emails. Working solo keeps me honest: there's no one to hand a rough edge to, so I just have to make it right.

What I care about

I like small tools that do one thing well. A converter that opens instantly, a tracker that shows you exactly what you need at a glance, a puzzle that respects your time. Most of my apps are the kind you reach for, use for thirty seconds, and close — and I think that's a perfectly good reason for an app to exist.

I'm not chasing the biggest idea. I'd rather take an everyday problem — what's the time difference to Tokyo, which markets are open right now, what's this resistor's value — and make the cleanest, fastest answer to it that I can. Quiet, useful, and free of clutter.

How I work

I build lean. No bloat, no dark patterns, no asking for things an app doesn't need. I care about details that most people never consciously notice: how fast the first screen paints, whether the layout still feels right in fifteen languages, how an icon reads at sixteen pixels. Getting those small things right is most of the job.

A lot of my apps work fully offline, store your data on your own device, and ship in many languages because the people who use them are all over the world. I update them often, read the feedback, and keep refining long after launch.

A bit of history

Before mobile, I spent years on the web — PHP, MySQL, and a handful of reference sites that quietly help people every day. That background still shapes how I think about apps: useful first, fast always, and built to last. Mobile is simply where my attention is now, and where I plan to keep building for a long time.

If something I've made saved you a minute or made your day a little easier, that's the whole point. Thanks for stopping by.
