Three apps on the App Store, and one of them on Google Play too. Luke F. Walton designed all three: the product, the interactions, and how each one behaves when it matters. They carry the conviction the rest of this site argues for at length, that software should do real work on terms the person using it can see and stand behind. Two are independent and privacy-first, running entirely on the device; the third is Scout, the flagship agent for his company, Surmado.

Log lifts at gym speed. Your data never leaves your phone.
A privacy-first iPhone workout log. Type a set in shorthand, confirm the parse, save. No account and no server; an on-device SQLite database is the only source of truth.
Independent · iOS · Free · MIT
Route political campaign texts to Junk. Nothing leaves your phone.
A free, MIT-licensed iPhone SMS filter. An on-device classifier routes campaign, fundraising, polling, and election texts from unknown senders to Junk. No account, no server, no political profiling.
The same idea runs under all three: keep execution inside authored human judgment, and keep the result legible and answerable. That is the argument of the answerability papers and the premise of Surmado; these apps are it in product form. More on the maker: about · ethic.
