Philosophy
Software should respect the person using it. No dark patterns. No permission harvesting. No "anonymous" analytics. If an app doesn't need your email, it shouldn't ask for it. If it doesn't need the internet, it shouldn't connect. Every Shy Guy app is built with this principle.
The Stack
Every app: SwiftUI, SwiftData, iOS 17+, XcodeGen. No external analytics SDKs. No Firebase. No third-party crash reporting. Credentials in iOS Keychain. Dark mode enforced.
