Ink & Iron Apps is the software side of one workshop. Same hands that write the books build the apps, and build the websites: stories that take their time, tools that don't waste yours, and sites a local business owns.

"Crafted stories. Forged software."

The philosophy is narrow on purpose — each app does one job well for the people who actually need it, rather than a sprawling suite that does everything adequately. Some run on the web so they work everywhere; others are Android first. No ads, no dark patterns, no selling your data.

LibraryIQ is live — a reading tracker you can open right now at libraryiq.inknironapps.com, free, with nothing to install. MatCalc and Simmer are still in closed alpha testing on Android — no Play Store release yet. Want to help shape one? Pick an app on the contact form to join alpha testing.

The workshop also builds websites for local businesses in Northern Colorado — a full free preview first, then a fast site you own, live on your own domain.
