Small tools,
drafted with care.
Blueprint Studios is a one-person workshop building focused, independent apps for everyday problems — measured twice, shipped once.
// Currently drafting 4 utilities. Sign up to try them first.
Four drafts
in motion.
Each app starts as a single problem I want solved for myself. I build it small, ship it, and let the people who needed the same thing use it too. All four are currently in active development.
A driving range that
actually keeps score.
For golfers tired of guessing where the ball went.
Prop your phone behind the tee, hit a bucket, and Tracer overlays the flight path of every shot — carry, apex, and dispersion — onto one heatmap. No launch monitor, no membership, just the camera you already own.
Splitting bills
without the spreadsheet.
For groups who keep meaning to settle up.
Tally tracks shared expenses across trips, households and rotating dinner crews. Add a charge, choose who's in, and it works out who owes whom — minimised down to the smallest number of transfers.
Receipts in.
Spreadsheets out.
For freelancers, founders, and anyone who actually files expenses.
Snap a receipt and Ledger pulls out merchant, line items, tax, and total — then files it under a category you taught it. Export to CSV, QuickBooks, or whatever your accountant prefers.
The honest read
on your portfolio.
For investors who want a second opinion that isn't trying to sell them anything.
Compass connects to your brokerage and tells you what you already half-know: where you're concentrated, where you've drifted from your plan, and what a small rebalance would do. No advice, no upsell — just clarity.
How the
studio works.
No team, no investors, no roadmap padded with features nobody asked for. Each project is small enough to hold in one head and ship from a single laptop.
Solve the problem
I have first.
Every app starts because something annoyed me enough to spend a weekend on it. If it's still useful in week three, it becomes a project.
Ship the smallest
useful version.
v1 does one thing well. No accounts unless required, no analytics that aren't load-bearing, no AI sticker pasted on the side.
Charge fairly,
or not at all.
Prices are flat and printed on the box. Free tier where it makes sense. No dark patterns, no nag screens, no rented-software pricing tiers.
Materials
& specifications.
A short bill of materials. Boring tech, well-chosen — the parts I trust to still work in five years.
