Welcome to Dark Rock Studios. My mission is to create useful, high-quality software that's accessible to everyone. My apps are free and open source, and focus on privacy and offline first operation.
If that sounds good, I'd love your support!
Hammer

The Hammer Editor is a versatile and user-friendly tool for building stories, available
across multiple platforms including phone, tablet, and desktop.

control over your content. Enjoy seamless, intelligent syncing between devices, allowing you
to work on your stories from anywhere without concern for overwriting.

SnapSafe
Snap pics of anything, safely.
We capture photos locally, encrypt everything in private storage, let YOU decide if GPS tags are added, and strip out tell‑tale metadata automatically.
Fast Track
Track what your body is doing while fasting
Simple, Free, Open Source. No ads, no in-app purchases, no permissions. Just tell the app when you start your fast, and check back in to see what your body is doing during your fast.
Support FOSS Development
I think Free and Open Source development is an unalloyed good in the world.
It fills niches that commercial development can't justify, and helps people who can't
now, or maybe ever, pay for the software they want or need.
It provides auditable code to protect privacy and security in a world increasingly
dominated by bad faith corporate interests.
The code it's self can serve as a springboard for new developers who can dive in and
learn how an interesting thing is done, and become better developers for it.
I make free end-user applications, as well as permissively licensed libraries for the
wider developer ecosystem. If you believe as I do that Open Source software is an
important
good in the world, then I'd love your support.
Open Source Libraries
Compose has been missing a Rich Text Editor since its inception. This
library attempts to fill the gap. It handles large documents and fully flexible rich text.
The
flexibility afforded by it has been used to implement a fully cross-platform Spell Checking
solution. The first of it's kind in the Kotlin/Multiplatform world.
A Kotlin/Multiplatform port of the SymSpell algorithm. Designed for performance, it brings edit-distance-based spell checking to any Kotlin target.
MITA binary file format for frequency dictionary libraries. It is both
40% smaller on disk, and 70% faster to load and parse than text-based frequency
dictionaries.
A native CLI program is provided to encode frequency dictionaries into the
.fdic format.
Opus is an industry standard library for compressing real-time audio for VOIP applications. Godot Opus is a library implementing Opus in an easy to consume library for Godot 3.x games to implement voice chat.
MITA simple Godot 3.x library enabling peer-to-peer server browsers in Godot games. No match-making server required, great for LAN games.
