Deve Apps is one person — Alper, working from Turkey, building tools that earn their place on your home screen.
I started building things on the web in 2000. PHP and MySQL, mostly — small tools that solved one problem cleanly. LatLong.net went live in 2012 and quietly grew into a site used by millions of people every year. No ads. No accounts. Just one job done well.
A few years later, I started building Android apps. Native, no frameworks, no bloat. Then iOS — SwiftUI, SpriteKit, the whole stack. Each app the same idea: solve one thing, do it offline, respect the user.
Somewhere along the way, the web turned into a place where every page tracks you, every app pushes notifications, and every "free" thing has a hidden cost. I didn't want to build that. So I kept making things the slow way — by hand, one at a time.
No frameworks for the sake of frameworks. No dependencies I don't understand. Software you can read top to bottom.
Apps should help you and get out of the way. No notifications. No engagement loops. No dark patterns.
Not as a feature — as the foundation. The fastest way to protect data is to never collect it.
I release apps when they're ready. One a year, maybe two. Quality beats quantity, always.
Tools and languages I use to build everything you see:
Questions, collaborations, or just a friendly note — I read everything personally.
