Why "My Poor Brain"?

Most apps hurt my brain. Too many buttons, too much information, menus that make you go hunting. So I started building my own.

I spent 30 years making documentaries, then picked up a brush and became a painting contractor. In my mid-fifties I taught myself to code, because the tools I needed for my own work either didn't exist or were built for somebody else's brain.

Everything here is designed to be easy on the brain. If you're an artist, a tradesperson, or anyone who struggles with focus and attention, these apps are for you. And if they pass that test, they'll work for anybody.
