No more new apps (in August)

It turns out that I have a lot of software ideas in my head. Given my penchant over the years to have more side projects than most people can imagine keeping up with, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. I've got 8 apps on the

Introducing The AirTag Silencer

Apple made AirTag randomly chirp when bumped or moved when out of bluetooth range of your iPhone. That's great, but if your bike is stolen - the very last thing you would want is for the thief to hear the AirTag and throw it away. That's why we designed The AirTag Silencer - a patented precision tool that helps you disable AirTag's speaker in seconds - all you need is a hammer. Easy to Use - Remove AirTag's battery & set on the baseplate, place silencer, and hit piercer flush with a hammer. Disconnects the coil that powers AirTag's speaker.  Works on multiple AirTags. Invaluable for expensive bikes, camera bags, purses, electronics, backpacks, etc... Anything you wouldn't want a thief tipped off by AirTag's chirp. And its great for pets too - no chirping on their collar in the middle of the night. Also available on Amazon.
