> Navid is an indie iOS developer based in the Netherlands building small, privacy-respecting apps on his own. heynavid.com is his personal site: his App Store apps, and notes on how they get built.

Principles behind the apps: charge once instead of renting software back monthly, do the work on-device rather than on a server, and ship no ads and no third-party tracking SDKs. Each app stays close to a real problem, so they are focused utilities rather than broad platforms.
