## Selected Proof

- ExamCram: Turns a student's notes, slides, and screenshots into quizzes and flashcards for faster review. Proof: UNF reported that nearly 25,000 people had accessed the mobile and web product by June 2025. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/examcram-study-ai-quizzes/id1595934993) Official website: https://www.examcram.app.
- WalkLock: Turns real walking into the unlock mechanism for distracting apps. Proof: Shows Apple-native behavior design with Screen Time, Live Activities, retention thinking, and habit loops. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/walklock-reduces-screentime/id1633153202) Official website: https://www.walklock.app.
- PodPosture: Uses AirPods motion data to give lightweight posture and movement feedback. Proof: Shows restraint around noisy motion data and lightweight coaching. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podposture-posture-improver/id1550684595)
- PingPath: An iOS app for people with visual impairments that uses spatial audio, LiDAR, and AI to support indoor navigation, object finding, and questions about nearby surroundings. Proof: Shows nonvisual interaction prototypes, room-mapping experiments, and accessibility judgment without overstating navigation results. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pingpath-blind-ai-navigation/id1644421594) Official website: https://www.pingpath.app.
- MostAwake: Uses family settings and permitted data to choose which caregiver should receive an overnight request. Proof: Shows careful language and state design for a family coordination tool that is not an emergency service or medical device. (https://www.andreas.ink/carewatch)

## Product and Release Timeline

- How Andreas's work moved from public-health software and broad product experiments into durable app families and reusable shipping systems.
- Evidence snapshot: 2026-07-11T23:40:46.408Z
- 11 apps with distributed versions; 146 distributed App Store versions; 1994 visible build uploads.
- Focus eras: 2020 — Trust and public-health software; 2021–2022 — Health sensing, accessibility, AR, and broad experimentation; 2023–2024 — Durable product families and useful AI workflows; 2025–2026 — Deep product ecosystems and reusable shipping infrastructure
- Method: The public dataset separates distributed App Store versions from development activity and treats GitHub repository activity as evidence of focus—not hours worked or productivity.

## How Andreas Builds

- Start with a real problem: Begin with a concrete moment that feels needlessly difficult, not a technology looking for a use.
- Choose technology that changes the experience: Use Apple-platform capabilities only when they make the core experience more useful or understandable.
- Ship, learn, and keep shaping: Treat onboarding, analytics, failure states, reliability, and real use as part of the product after release.
