The apps

What the studio has shipped, and what's coming

Bad Yorkie Studios makes software with personality. Every app gets the same care: thoughtful design, solid engineering, and respect for the people using it.

Coming soon

Tantrum Tracker

Track behavioral incidents, uncover the patterns, and share what helps.

An app for parents and caregivers tracking a child's behavioral incidents. Log each moment in seconds, watch the charts reveal what tends to trigger and resolve them, and share a clear record with family and the professionals who help. Built first for families navigating autism and behavioral challenges. Version 4 is a ground-up rebuild, coming soon to iPhone and — for the first time — Android.

More in the workshop

Tantrum Tracker is the first. More apps are in development, and further out, maybe a few things that aren't apps at all.

How the studio works

Few apps, made properly

Bad Yorkie Studios is a one-person studio, which sets the shape of everything it makes. There is no roadmap driven by a funding round and no pressure to ship a category a month. An app gets built when there is a real problem worth solving and the studio can do a genuinely good job of it.

In practice that means a small number of apps, each maintained for a long time. Tantrum Tracker first shipped in 2011 and is now on its fourth ground-up rebuild — the kind of commitment that only makes sense when you are not trying to run twenty products at once. The same principles apply to whatever comes next: careful design, no dark patterns, and no treating the people who use the software as the product.

Questions about the apps?

Feedback, bug reports, and questions about anything the studio is building are always welcome.
