Developer Announcements

Hi everyone,

I've had some vision challenges this year, and I started building HoloKitty, a small audio fiction project you play in the browser. I'm the solo developer here, sharing the first story here because I'd really value feedback from this community.

The Tuxedo Cat is a short Halloween story. On Halloween night, a charming and slightly too philosophical tuxedo cat shows up at your window with a strange proposal. You talk back to it, and what you say decides how the night ends.

Hi everyone, I'm Igor, an indie developer, and I make Timix, a timer app for all Apple devices.

Timix turns timers into routines that speak each step, so your hands stay free while you cook or work out. Start one with Siri or from your Apple Watch. The built-in 5 Min Exercise routine says "Stretch your arms and wrists" as each stretch begins, and Crispy Broccoli waits after every step until you're ready. Your own spoken cues need Timix Premium.

Hello everyone!

So, after much soul searching, thinking about what I want for the future and whether I could make this a sustainable concern, I've decided TurnOver is now free and open source, under the GPL. Anyone can use it, read the code, check it, change it and build it themselves.

I wanted to type on my iPhone using a physical keyboard, but don't typically carry a bluetooth keyboard around. So I made an app that makes a Windows 11 laptop appear as a bluetooth keyboard to iOS.

The first time, you'll have to pair the app as though it was a bluetooth keyboard. After that, just press the button, and keys will be sent to your mobile device until you press escape.

Hi everyone,

My name is jesus, and I'm a blind Minecraft player. I'm posting as JB Tech to share something I've been working on: Watchful Eye, a free Minecraft Bedrock addon that narrates the world around you as you play — completely hands-free, no tapping required.

Hey Everyone!

It's been an incredible six months or so of developing, releasing, and updating Severe WeatherGuardian, an app written by a blind developer (me) for blind and other accessibility-focused users!

In those months, the app has gone from a simple tool used to get basic storm information to a full-fledged accessible radar, storm tracker, and optional AI weather assistant. I have truly enjoyed developing this app, and I hope you've enjoyed using it!

This is an open question. I think a lot of people have discovered the joy and freedom of vibe coding and thought to themselves, 'hey, maybe I can make a little money out of this', myself included. When I came up with TurnOver I was just trying to solve a personal problem--I couldn't use Microsoft Word. As I realised it was possible to create something bigger and more useful I did think, it could be a way of me earning a little money, after all, it would be nice to cover compute costs.

Hello everyone,

I’m Meriç Karaca, the developer of ZeromPlayer. I’m happy to share that ZeromPlayer is now available for free on the Mac App Store. It’s a macOS audio and video player designed with blind and low vision users in mind, and I’d really appreciate your feedback on how it works for you.

ZeromPlayer runs on Apple silicon Macs (M1 or later) with macOS 13 or later. You can download it here:
