Solo developer,
making small apps
in the Alps.
I’m Michael — an independent iOS & macOS developer in South Tyrol. I build small, focused apps for film photographers, people who spend their time in the mountains, and anyone who’d rather use software made by a person than a committee.
Film Logbook since 2020
A logbook for film photographers. Five years and 1,000+ shooters tracking rolls, cameras, and exposure data by hand — the way film deserves.
Mountain Passes since 2024
Counts the alpine passes you’ve crossed — automatically. GPS detects each summit as you ride or drive over it. Built for the DACH and Italian mountains I live in.
cc-ghost open source
Reads your Claude Code sessions and drafts build-in-public posts in your own voice. A small CLI tool for an empty niche — the one I kept wishing existed.
I studied computer science in Graz — multimedia and machine learning — and now build software alone from a valley in the Dolomites. Working solo keeps every app small, opinionated, and answerable to the people who use it — no roadmap by committee, no features bolted on to chase a market.
So I build in the open, in German, Italian, and English, and lean hard on AI to compress the cost of making things. When I’m not at the keyboard I’m usually on a gravel bike, under a paraglider, or losing a slow argument with a vegetable garden at 1,260 m.
