Native software for Apple platforms,
built privately, calmly, and on purpose.
I'm Ahmad — an independent developer based in the macOS & iOS ecosystem. I design and ship small, opinionated apps that respect the people who use them, and I do it end-to-end: research, design, code, support, the lot.
Featured work
All projects →PrivacyStage
A privacy-first screen-sharing utility for the Mac. Hide sensitive windows, mask private text with on-device OCR, and broadcast a clean stage to any meeting app — Zoom, Meet, Teams — without a plugin.
Built solo in Swift & SwiftUI. Free download, $2.99/mo Pro.
What I do
Native Mac & iOS apps
End-to-end product work: from a sketch to TestFlight to App Store. Swift & SwiftUI throughout.
System-level features
Camera/audio extensions, system extensions, screen capture, virtual devices, OCR & on-device ML.
Design that belongs
Interfaces that feel native — sharp typography, real materials, predictable motion, no dark patterns.
How I work
Small over large
One thoughtful feature is worth more than five half-finished ones. I cut scope long before I cut quality.
Local over remote
Where possible, the user's data stays on the user's device. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry — until there's a real reason.
Native over wrapped
If it can be done well with Apple frameworks, it should be. The app should feel like it grew on the Mac, not landed there.
Honest over hyped
I'd rather under-promise and surprise you than the other way around. Marketing should match the app, not lead it.
"PrivacyStage is the first app in years that's earned a permanent spot in my menu bar. It does one thing, it does it quietly, and it does it without asking me to sign up for anything." — a happy beta tester · TestFlight feedback
