SleepyBytes is one person making small apps.
Aivars Meijers, Latvian, building from Bangkok since 2014. Every app here does one job, keeps your data on your device, and gets a direct reply when you email. The numbers behind them are public on aivarsmeijers.com.

Why it is one person
SleepyBytes started as a side project in 2014 and became the home for every app I ship. The recipe has not changed: find a specific problem, build the smallest honest tool that solves it, and charge fairly for the parts that cost money to run.
One person means slower feature lists and direct answers. Every support email lands with me, and I read every review.
The build-in-public side, the revenue, the experiments, the lessons, lives on aivarsmeijers.com and the YouTube channel.
