Independent iOS Developer
Apps crafted with care. Built to matter.
I am Edouard Barbier, a solo app entrepreneur based in Switzerland. I design, build, launch and grow iOS apps end-to-end, from product idea to App Store distribution.
Previously at Google (London), Carve Consulting, and Famest.

What I build
iOS apps for creators and everyday life
I build independent apps around practical problems, from understanding a growing audience to making everyday tasks easier on an iPhone.
Tools for YouTube and Twitch creators
Creatipi, formerly YT Tracker, helps YouTube creators follow their channel's progress and monetization goals. Stream Tracker brings Twitch analytics and tools for promoting a stream to iOS. Thumbnail Creator helps turn a video idea into a thumbnail. These projects reflect my interest in helping creators understand their work, share it and keep improving.

Small, repeated actions are often a good starting point for an app. MagicBoard is a snippet manager and auto paste keyboard for text you use regularly. Across my portfolio, I focus on clear interfaces and useful features that fit into a daily routine. I handle the product design, iOS development and App Store release myself, then continue refining each project.

Alongside my apps, you can browse 80 free iPhone Duo wallpapers in ten collections, with previews and high resolution downloads. I also write about learning iOS development and building independent apps: choosing an idea, designing the interface and getting a first version onto the App Store. My gear page and bookshelf share more of the tools and reading behind that work.
