GAget started as a widget for OS X Dashboard. Today it’s the most popular Google Analytics widget for macOS in the App Store. Features include an Overview widget for the most important data, a Real-Time widget for getting real-time visitor information and Alerts for custom event notifications.

It has been my longest running side project, launched in August 2011. It's still very exciting to work on and it even motivated me to learn a whole new programming language to keep it going: read the full story of it.

Most people who go to the gym lack the proper training which can result in injuries. With MoveRite our aim was to help beginners learn the most important weight training exercises with confidence.

It was a huge challenge from a usability perspective, because the amount of information in the app can be overwhelming at first. We had to ease-in the users to the process, to start out slow, but also learn the important parts right away.

When I started this project in 2012 we were aiming to buy a house with my wife. We wanted to be very clear about our money situation so we needed an expense tracker to keep us up to date. Since no apps supported sharing accounts back then I decided to quickly mock up something for the two of us.

Today it's a full featured application for tracking our expenses and income. The responsive web interface is using PHP, and I've even created an Apple Watch app to be able to quickly add some expenses. It can even parse spoken sentences like "3000HUF on food from bankcard".

Ravioli was an experiment in macOS development. I was curious of how to build an application for the macOS menu bar, because I wanted to have a specific feature in GAget that ran in the menu bar (this later turned into GAget Alerts).

I discontinued the development after some time, because I considered the experiment to be successful.

Why do torrent sites have to look like crap? They don't! And by using this plugin, nCore turns into an awesome browsing experience. Not like I actually use this site 😉

For my very first hackathon I wanted to create something useful. Many of my coworkers share a calendar with their significant others, but having to sync the company calendar manually is always a struggle. This problem inspired the creation of Califlower, a Chrome extension that syncs event data from the IBM Verse calendar client to a personal Google Calendar.

Together with Márk Gémesi we had to consider privacy and security issues and at the end we got second place at the company hackathon. 🏆
