Products that respect your time.
I'm Finn. I build independent apps: The Edition for a calmer news habit, CueSpot for natural eye contact on camera, and vynl.art for the ritual of listening. Here I share what I ship and what I learn.
"Finish the internet in 5 minutes a day."
The Edition
An anti-doomscroll news app designed to help you reclaim your attention. No endless feeds, no dopamine traps, just high-utility news with follow-up questions built in.
- Delivers a finite daily edition instead of an endless feed.
- Prioritizes useful context over outrage and novelty loops.
- Turns follow-up questions into part of the reading flow.
The goal is to make staying informed feel intentional again, not like a slot machine disguised as a product.
"Stay on script. Stay on camera."
CueSpot
A teleprompter that puts your words directly beneath the front camera. Read your script, keep eye contact, and capture a clean recording without text in the frame.
- Your script scrolls in the Dynamic Island, close to the lens.
- Set your pace and control playback with the volume buttons.
- Scripts stay on your iPhone. Recordings go straight to Photos.
Where the words sit changes where you look. Bring the script to the camera, and reading starts to feel like a conversation.
"Spin your Spotify playlists on vinyl."
vynl.art
A vinyl-style web player for your Spotify playlists. Connect your account directly to play and experience your music through an interactive turntable interface.
- Direct Spotify account connection for instant playlist access.
- Interactive vinyl record player with spinning animations and tonearm controls.
- Brings the nostalgic, tactile ritual of vinyl records to digital streaming.
Built to make digital music playback feel physical, intentional, and visually immersive again.
