Privacy First Apps for all.
Hello! My name is Kevin Curry and I build privacy first apps focusing on mental and physical health.
The Inner Citadel is my flagship iOS application, moving beyond simple quotes to offer a complete, privacy-first toolkit for practicing Stoic philosophy. Built with SwiftUI, it's designed to help users build resilience by turning ancient wisdom into practical, daily tools.Key features include an interactive Pause Tool, a private AI Journal ("Stoa"), and the Daily Vista. Integrating HealthKit and Screen Time, it empowers users to build an unshakable mind.
Are you tired of the emotional rollercoaster of the daily weigh-in? Steady is a new kind of health app designed to end scale anxiety for good. Instead of obsessing over one number, Steady helps you discover your actual trend by focusing on a calm, 7-day moving average. It’s a holistic approach that reframes your mindset, helping you see the journey, not just the fluctuations.Progress is so much more than just a number. That's why Steady elevates Non-Scale Victories (NSVs) to be just as important as the scale. Log wins like your clothes fitting looser or having more energy, and watch how they paint a full, balanced picture of your health. It's time to find your balance.
