Shmarten Apps

About Shmarten

Shmarten is a collection of web applications, tools, and experiments built to solve real problems in practical, thoughtful ways.

This site serves as a central hub for projects I’ve designed and developed over time—some created to address specific needs, others born from curiosity, iteration, and exploration. While each app stands on its own, they all share a common goal: to be useful, clear, and intentionally built.

Why Shmarten Exists

Many great ideas start as small tools—something to streamline a task, remove friction, or make a process easier to manage. Shmarten exists to bring those tools together in one place, making them easy to discover, understand, and use.

Rather than focusing on a single product or niche, this site reflects an ongoing practice of building and refining software with purpose. Some applications are actively evolving, others are stable and production-ready, and a few are experiments that helped shape later ideas.

How to Think About the Apps

Each app featured on Shmarten is:

  • Purpose-built — designed to solve a specific problem or workflow
  • Flexible — adaptable to different use cases where possible
  • Iterative — improved over time based on real use and feedback

You may see labels such as Live, Beta, or Archived. These reflect the current state of each project and help set expectations around stability and ongoing development.

Design & Philosophy

The focus across all projects is clarity over complexity. That means:

  • Clean, modern interfaces
  • Features that earn their place
  • Systems that scale thoughtfully rather than aggressively

Shmarten isn’t about shipping as many apps as possible—it’s about building things that make sense, work well, and respect the time of the people using them.

What’s Next

Shmarten will continue to grow as new ideas take shape. Some projects may expand into full products, others may remain lightweight tools, and new experiments will be added along the way.
