I have experience shipping apps from idea to release, and focus on simple, useful software that people can rely on. I focus on no subscriptions, and user privacy, no ads, no tracking, just simple, functional software. Other apps I&#8217;ve released include Wasted Time (to track the cost of getting meetings started), Vinyl Tracker (for the vinyl collector), Greeting Tracker (Never send the same card twice), and Quick Localizer (automated XCStrings translator). Michael&#8217;s latest app is Stepwise Improvements, which will be released on August 1, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Press-kit available<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-074e0756-8a42-4896-8805-7fb3f2477164\" href=\"https:\/\/michaelrowe01.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/stepwise-improvements-press-kit.zip\">stepwise-improvements-press-kit<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelrowe01.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/stepwise-improvements-press-kit.zip\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-074e0756-8a42-4896-8805-7fb3f2477164\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay Active, Stay Healthy Take a 5-minute walk every hour to boost your fitness and well-being.
