Projects

In 2000, I launched musictheory.net as a free resource for music education. In 2011, I resigned from my job at Apple to focus on the site full time. Tenuto and Theory Lessons launched later that year.

From 2011 until 2025, I developed and sold the following macOS applications:

Classic Color Meter is an enhanced replacement for the built-in macOS color meter. During development, I researched color management and wrote an article on Mac Color Meters and Color Space Conversions.

Pixel Winch is a graphics design tool which streamlines the process of adding measurement annotations to screenshots. I use it to create pixel-perfect layouts in my apps and websites.

Embrace is a music player designed for the unique challenges of DJing social dance events. It focuses on playing back a single set list without audio glitches or accidental interruptions.

I consider these three apps to be feature-complete and finished. Although I try to stand behind my work, I cannot guarantee compatibility with macOS Sequoia or later.

Additional projects may be found on GitHub.
