👋

Hi, I'm Chris.
I make iOS apps
in my spare time.

This is Coding from Scratch — a one-person studio based in the UK. I build small, thoughtful apps and try to ship them when they're actually ready.

Based in Harrogate, UK
Part-time indie dev
Built with SwiftUI

TurtleShop

A shopping list app that learns your route around the store and reorders your list to match. Plan meals, manage staples, and check things off on your Apple Watch. Built around how your house is organised — not just generic aisles.

A bit about me

I work a day job and build iOS apps in the evenings and weekends. I live in Harrogate with my wife and two children. I'm not trying to build the next big thing — I just enjoy making things that are genuinely useful and work beautifully on Apple devices.

My first app, TurtleShop, came out of a real frustration: our family shopping list was always a mess across different apps and text messages. So I built something better, and figured other people might find it useful too.

If you have a question, a bug report, or just want to say hello — drop me an email. I read every one.
