Independent iOS & macOS developer focused on building native applications that interface directly with Apple's lowest-level system APIs. I believe the best software is invisible — it works so well you forget it's there.
Current Focus → Kernel-level macOS utilities & native iOS experiences
Design Language → Minimal, dark, Apple HIG-inspired interfaces
Philosophy → "Design is not just what it looks like, it's how it works."
Take Full Control of Apple Silicon. RenderFocus reclaims your CPU performance by forcing background applications to Efficiency Cores, dedicating maximum P-Core power exclusively to your active workflow.

macOS distributes CPU power fairly across all processes. RenderFocus overrides this by interfacing directly with the Darwin kernel's

📊 Performance Impact
| Benchmark | Without RF | With RF | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| WebKit Compilation (Xcode) | 14m 20s | 11m 45s | ~18% faster |
| Heavy 3D Render (Blender) | 8m 10s | 6m 55s | ~15% faster |

🏗️ Architecture Deep Dive
Privilege-Separated Design:
- The GUI application never acquires root privileges
- All kernel operations are isolated in a separate XPC daemon
- Communication via Mach IPC (fastest IPC on macOS)
- Code signed with same Team ID for XPC trust chain
XPC Protocol:
@objc(RenderFocusXPCProtocol)
protocol RenderFocusXPCProtocol {
func throttleProcess(pid: Int32, withReply: @escaping (Bool, String?) -> Void)
func unthrottleProcess(pid: Int32, withReply: @escaping (Bool, String?) -> Void)
func throttleMultipleProcesses(pids: [NSNumber], withReply: @escaping (Bool, String?) -> Void)
func unthrottleAllProcesses(withReply: @escaping (Bool, String?) -> Void)
func ping(withReply: @escaping (Bool) -> Void)
}Kernel Effect of taskpolicy -b:
Thread priority → MAXPRI_THROTTLE (4)
Sched mode → SCHED_MODE_BACKGROUND
CPU affinity → E-Cluster preferred
I/O priority → IOPOL_THROTTLE
The analog photobooth revolution in your pocket.
A native iOS application engineered to replicate the exact feel of a vintage photograph session. Built entirely with AVFoundation and SwiftUI for iOS 18.
- Zero data tracking — 100% on-device processing
- Classic, Filmstrip, Polaroid layouts rendered in real-time
- High-contrast B&W and film-grade color algorithms applied live
- Fully immersive "Cabin" environment with modern iOS 18 APIs
