Open Source software for the Apple platform

It's not my job, not even close. It's a hobby and a nice one it is!

All is written in SwiftUI. Thanks to other open source projects I've learned it quite well so it's obvious for me to give the result in return.

SwiftUI, especially on macOS, my main platform, was a tough ride. However, with every new version it is getting better and a more enjoyable!

Chord Provider

A ChordPro file parser and editor

macOS - iPadOS - visionOS

I play guitar; not so well, a bit rough actually but honest and with pleasure. Wrote an application for the chords because I don't practice enough and need them at my side!

Make Books

Write a beautiful book

macOS

I like to write books and I like to make books. Both literarily. They have a lot in common and even more not in common. Writing is a creative process. Words, words and words. On the other hand, making books is mostly a technical process.

This is my application to convert all those words I write into something nice. Learned three programming languages for this and should rewrite it but it's doing its job. Beautiful books!

Kodio

A music remote for Kodi

macOS - iPadOS - visionOS

I want to play my own music. No Spotify, no Apple Music. Just My Music. So I wrote my own player because all the big companies want you to subscribe to their own catalog. Well, I have my own and I want to keep it that way. I don't need 'recommendations' from commercial companies. I have friends for that.

Swift Packages

Part of the code I write is in Swift Packages so I can share them with my applications.

They are not stable so use at your own risk!

Questions?

Appstore

I have no intention to release any of my applications to the Apple Stores. They are all hobby projects. With a release, even for free, comes responsibility and that is not part of my hobby!

Github releases

Well, I could do for macOS, but they will be unsigned because I don't have a Developer Account. For the iPlaform, it makes no sense, you can't 'normally' install them. Maybe the upcoming EU regulations will change this and I will reconsider.

iPhone target

A phone is for making phone calls. I'm not a fan of smart phones, long story that I'm not going to tell here. There will be be no iPhone targets for my applications; I just don't care.

It is only source code
