About

Real products on Apple platforms

Native SwiftUI apps with careful UX for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — including optional local web servers for day-to-day sharing.

ControlZ is a multi-integration smart-home controller shaped by years of collaboration with Dan (zBridge Plus). My Competitors helps martial-arts clubs and associations import SET / CSV data, run events, and share flyers, reports, and a static website.

brien.com.au hosts the public pages App Store reviewers and users open in Safari — marketing, support, and privacy.
