Our apps are technical playground and piece of art at the same time. Honestly we’re not making that much money with them, but whenever there’s a bit of breathing room we try to go back and polish some more. These apps are listed in order of last update.
Urban Airship Commander
Urban Airship Commander is used by Developers who use Urban Airship’s push notification service. It is a convenient mobile tool to keep track of your push-enabled apps and broadcast notifications to your users.
You can spice up your push notifications by using the emojis that are available on the iPhone emoji keyboard. You can tap on any previous log message and reuse the text and custom settings to save yourself much time. We found this to be a boon during development time when you need to keep resending the same message over and over again to test your apps.
GeoCorder
GeoCorder RECORDs and TRACKs, it’s the only app that combines a recorder, a tracker and a breadcrumb map in one convenient package. Both can be activated and used independently.
Record your movements in 3D space and use these tracks to geotag SLR pictures, view your tracks on digital maps/globes or feed them as test data into your own iPhone apps.
Independently from the recorder you have a tracker at your disposal that can report your location in set intervals to your choice of Google Latitude, Crossingways or any number of your own custom servers (HTTP GET).

iWoman
The wait is over! After almost a full year of development we present iWoman 2.0. This brings you all the features our reviewers requested: cycle overview, calendar view, passcode lock, recording of basal temperature with charting, notes and intercourse tracking.
Thousands of women worldwide have already discovered the amount of control that iWoman affords them over their biological cycle. So can you!
The intuitive interface allows to quickly add information about a new cycle and will estimate number of days and cycle start date from previously entered dates.
Summertime
Do you know exactly when to switch to and from Daylight Savings Time?
Or does it SNEAK UP ON YOU twice a year?
With this handy app you will never be in this embarrassing situation again. “Summertime” shows you all you need to know about when the
switch will take place and what it will consist of. It uses the massive internal iPhone timezone database to know exactly if and when
DST switches will occur, or if you are in a timezone that does not have them.
SpeakerClock
Big red LED digits allow you to see the timer even at great distance so you are free to move while you give the talk of your life. SpeakerClock emulates the famous countdown clock that all speakers at TED conferences need to adhere to.
The latest version is a universal app with HD-support for iPad, multiple presets and lots of usability enhancements. New portrait support allows you to put your iPhone/iPad in the cradle and still use SpeakerClock. Now the whole screen flashes if you transition into a new phase of your speech.
iFR Cockpit
Pilots fly through bad weather on instruments. Modern pilots fly on glass — an LCD panel like the famous G1000, with attitude, speed, altitude and heading laid out in one place. iFR Cockpit puts one in your pocket, ready for the times you too find it hard to keep straight and level.
Amaze your pilot friends, or use it for attitude reference when all you can see is the phone in front of you. iFR (iPhone Flight Rating) not required.
Rebuilt from nothing, seventeen years on
The first version shipped in 2008 and showed its age: the horizon was a linear guess at the accelerometer, drawn sideways. Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite. It looks the way it always has. Everything behind it is new.
A horizon that stays honest in a turn
An accelerometer cannot tell gravity from centrifugal force. Every phone attitude indicator has to solve that, and most simply don’t — roll into a coordinated turn and the horizon creeps back towards level while you are still banked.
Here the attitude is carried on the gyroscope, and the acceleration of the turn is worked back out of the reading using your GPS velocity. Bank, and the horizon shows the bank you are actually flying. Accelerate away down the runway, and the nose stays where you put it.
Instruments that agree with each other
- Altitude from the barometer with your own altimeter setting — inches or hectopascals, standard pressure in one tap, or matched to the field elevation.
- Vertical speed blended from inertial acceleration and pressure, so the needle answers in a fraction of a second instead of trailing a once-a-second reading.
- Ground speed carried on the accelerometer between satellite fixes, so the tape slides rather than stepping once a second.
- Heading on a slaved directional gyro, with the magnetometer trimming it rather than driving it.
- Pitch ladder, bank scale, slip indicator, trend vectors, heading and altitude bugs, optional G load.
Nothing to set up
Down is where gravity points. Hold the device upright and the horizon is level. If your cradle holds it at an angle, fly straight and level and press TRIM once. Landscape or portrait, iPhone or iPad, all four orientations.
Try it on the ground
Demo Flight flies a circuit from the runway — take-off roll, climb out, a steep turn, and back down to land. It is a real flight model rather than an animation, so the instruments agree with each other: roll into the steep turn and watch the load factor rise and the airspeed decay with it.
Honest about what it is
iFR Cockpit is a training and situational-awareness aid built on consumer sensors. It is not a certified instrument. The speed tape reads GPS ground speed and is labelled GS, because there is no pitot tube in a phone. Never use it as a primary reference for aircraft control or navigation.
