Apps

    Apps that make difficult things feel simple.

    I handle the idea, interface, code, release, launch campaign and support that follows.

    Passenger.ie / Launch film

    A useful product can still make an entrance.

    Passenger.ie

    I created Passenger.ie, made this commercial and developed the cinema campaign. The launch is part of the work, alongside the design and code.

    FuelWatch.ie

    Useful data, shared across Ireland.

    A driver at the pump already has information another driver needs. I built FuelWatch to make that price easy to share, with a camera that can read price boards and a map for comparing stations. It is free, with no advertising, and covers more than 1,500 stations across all 32 counties.

    02 / An app I created

    Passenger.ie

    Book a train ticket in plain English.

    I built Passenger around people who found train booking intimidating. Instead of expecting them to learn a booking system’s language, I made the journey start with their own words. The app turns that conversation into an Irish train booking.

    03 / An app I created

    Smoke Nothing

    An app built around one recording.

    I listened to a 15-minute self-hypnosis session and never smoked a cigarette again. When I built Smoke Nothing, I kept that recording at the centre of the app and made it easy to come back to. The screen gives the session space, with progress and savings kept close by.

    Smoke Nothing is an iOS app built around that one recording, a bundled self-hypnosis session by Master Hypnotist Thomas Bresadola. It tracks your sessions, smoke-free days, and the money you are not spending. Free, with no subscriptions.

    I cannot promise it works the same for everyone, but it worked completely for me.

    04 / A project I built

    Briefcase 翰途Briefcase

    Hong Kong court forms, ready to complete online.

    I co-founded Briefcase with Caroline Langley, a Hong Kong barrister, and built it as CTO. We created it to help law firms find bilingual Family Court forms, complete them online and download clean Word or PDF documents.

    Caroline is Briefcase’s CEO and brings more than thirty years of legal experience across Hong Kong, England and Wales, Ireland and the USA. I built the interface around the steps a firm needs to take: find the form, enter the information and prepare the document for filing.

    05 / A project I built

    QuanticaLegal

    Find the cases behind a compensation claim.

    I built Quantica to help legal teams find the cases behind a compensation claim. A plain-language question searches Hong Kong personal injury and employees’ compensation judgments, with answers linked to the paragraphs they came from.

    Quantica brings conversational search and filters into the same research workflow. Legal teams can search by injury, occupation, judge or year, then follow the citations back to the original judgment. I made those source references part of the answer, so the next step is easy to find.

    06 / A project I built

    Cravante

    AI that keeps the conversation on your iPhone.

    I built Cravante for people who want help from AI without sending their conversations to an online service. It handles writing, translation and summaries on the iPhone, and keeps working offline once the selected model is ready.

    The app starts without an account and offers the built-in Apple Intelligence model or a downloadable model suited to the phone. I made model readiness and download sizes visible, so people know what needs setting up before going offline.

    For owners and businesses

    Your customers have their own difficult steps.

    The same work goes into your booking flow, customer portal or internal tool: understand the person using it, remove confusing steps and make the next action clear. We start by finding out whether custom software is the right answer at all.

    01

    Understand

    Find the real problem and the people living with it.

    02

    Prototype

    Put something useful in your hands early.

    03

    Create

    Design and develop the working product.

    04

    Release

    Launch it, document it, and stay reachable.

    Talk about an app

    A few things you might want to know

    Are these client apps?

    Passenger.ie, FuelWatch.ie, Smoke Nothing and Cravante are my own projects. I’m also CTO and co-founder of Briefcase with Caroline Langley, and I built Quantica Legal. These projects show the design, development and launch work I can bring to a business project.

    Do I need a custom app?

    That is the first thing we work out. An existing booking tool, a better website or a small change to your current system may solve the problem with less cost and maintenance.

    Can you handle the launch too?

    Yes. I can work on the interface, development, release and launch materials. We agree which parts you need before the project starts.

    Based in Westport. Available for remote projects across Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands. English-language projects welcome worldwide.
