Hi, I'm Aivars. I build small, focused apps and show my work.
I run SleepyBytes, a one-person company building focused apps for iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac, and I document the revenue, experiments, and mistakes on YouTube.
What I do
Three things, honestly
Ship my own apps
Focused apps for training, riding, breathing, and better routines, published as SleepyBytes SIA. Each does one job well and keeps your data on your device.
Browse the appsBuild in public
Revenue numbers, app experiments, renames that worked and ones that did not. It all goes on YouTube, unedited enough to be useful.
Watch on YouTubeMake tools for makers
CutWork, my Mac app, turns long dev videos into ready-to-post short clips with hooks and captions, processed locally on your machine.
