Independent app studio

Crafting precise, beautiful apps for passionate makers

I'm Shai, and Indie Desert Studio is where I make apps that each do one job well. The first is The Baker, for bread and dough.

The apps

One out now and one on the way, both for iPhone and Android.

  • The Baker app icon
    Out now · iPhone and Android

    The Baker

    Scale bread, sourdough and pizza recipes, and work out baker's percentages, hydration and dough temperature.

  • Mordent app icon
    In development

    Mordent

    Grade 5 Music Theory practice, with a one-line reason for every answer. It isn't out yet: it comes to iPhone and Android in January 2027.

I test ideas before I build them

Before I spend months on an app, I check that people want it.

Some of my ads lead to early-access pages on try.indiedesert.com. Those pages describe apps I haven't built yet, and each one says so.

If you signed up on one, I'll email you if that app gets built. I won't use your address for anything else, and I delete it if I drop the idea.

How I handle early-access sign-ups

Say hello

Questions, bug reports or ideas for an app. I read every message myself.
