I build utility apps that do one thing and leave you alone.
After years building consumer apps, I got tired of simple tools wrapped in an account, a tracker, and a paywall in front of the one feature you opened the app for. So I make the opposite kind: customer-first, your data stays with you, no growth tricks. I'm Josh. This is everything I've made.

01
Your data stays with you
No tracking, no accounts, no analytics, and for the apps that need to sync, only ciphertext I can't read passes between your phones. There's nothing of yours for me to lose, sell, or hand over.
02
Pay what you want
No paywall. The whole app is the whole app. Josh Approved is supported by the people who use it. If these apps are useful to you, consider donating. That's what keeps the work going.
03
Radical transparency
Every app is open source. You don't have to take my word for any of this. Read the code on GitHub, or build it yourself.
