Indie founder · building in public

I build mobile apps people actually use.

I'm Khaled — a solo founder who spent a decade shipping games, VR, and software for other companies. Now I'm building my own products. First up: ActionNote, a voice-notes app that turns the mess in your head into clean notes and action items.

What I'm building

From building for others to building for myself.

After years of leading teams and shipping other people's visions, I'm channelling that experience into small, sharp apps that solve real, everyday problems.

ActionNote

Just talk — and get back a clean transcript, a summary, and a ready-to-do task list. Live on iOS. See it →

The next one

Always sketching the next idea. I ship small, listen hard, and iterate fast. Follow along as new apps go from notebook to App Store.

🛠️

Consulting

Open to select mobile, VR, and game-engine work that funds the studio. A decade of Unity, Unreal, and native iOS under the hood.

How I work

Small team of one. Real craft.

Ten years across games, VR, and native mobile taught me how to ship. Now I bring that to my own products.

Ship, then learn

Real apps in the hands of real users beat perfect plans. I release early and improve relentlessly.

🎯

Solve one problem well

Every app earns its place on your home screen by doing one thing better than anything else.

🔒

Respect the user

Private by design, no dark patterns, no selling data. Software I'd be happy to hand my family.

📣

Build in public

I share the wins, the bugs, and the numbers. Come along for the messy, honest version.

Let's build something.
