I build the tools I wish I had

I'm Ari, and Arisphere is where my side projects live. Most of them start with a small problem at home: keeping track of every pot on the stove, listening for a sleeping baby, or finding a fresh walk to finish my 10,000 steps.

I make iOS apps with SwiftUI and React Native, free web tools that run right in your browser, and learning games for kids in Icelandic. I keep them simple and private: no sign-up, no subscription and no cloud where it isn't needed.

Baby Monitor Direct

New

Turns two phones into a simple, private baby monitor. Pair them by scanning a QR code and sound travels straight from the nursery to you: no account, no subscription, no cloud recordings.

  • Live sound level and how long the room has been quiet
  • A gentle alert and vibration when your baby stirs
  • Hold to talk back, and a dark nursery screen with a soft night light

Get your 10,000 steps without walking the same loop again. just10k reads how many steps you have left today and plans a fresh walking loop from where you are, sized to finish your goal.

  • Three loop options plus Shuffle, each within about 5% of your target
  • Turn-by-turn walk mode with a live step count and re-planning if you go off route
  • Open the loop in Google Maps or export it as GPX

Playmore

In Development

Swipe to trade board games. Scan a game's barcode, snap photos to show it's complete, then swipe through other people's shelves. When you want one of their games and they want one of yours, you cross swords and chat to arrange the swap.

  • Barcode scanning that finds the game, box art and details automatically
  • Photos of each copy so you know it's complete before you trade
  • Mutual matches and built-in chat to set up the swap
