# Shy Guy Studio

> An indie app studio building focused tools for developers and the people who care what runs on their phone. iPhone apps and one Mac app — no accounts, no analytics, no ads. Checked against the App Store on 2026-09-21.

- [Cerna](https://shyguy.studio/cerna): On-device document finder. Point it at a folder and it surfaces receipts, invoices, IDs, insurance, contracts and keys — sorted, searchable, routed where they belong. Nothing leaves the device. $5.99, one-time. Live since August 2026.
- [Statora: GLP-1 Gauge](https://shyguy.studio/statora): A gauge for a GLP-1 regimen — semaglutide, tirzepatide and the like. Weight trend, the dose cycle with an illustrative level curve, a daily check-in, and readings that compare your own log against what GLP-1 users commonly report. On-device, no account, no telemetry; not medical advice. $7.99, one-time. Live since 21 September 2026.
- [Scrip x402](https://shyguy.studio/scrip): Terminal-style game that teaches the x402 HTTP payment protocol with real USDC payments on Base and Arbitrum. Free.

## In TestFlight (not yet on the App Store)

- [AlerTCG](https://shyguy.studio/alertcg): Tracks graded trading cards ("slabs") and the wallets that hold tokenised ones, and tells you on your phone when one sells, lists or moves. On-device alerts, no account. In TestFlight.

## Mac app (Mac App Store)

- [Loupe](https://useloupe.tools): Audit-grade local log RCA for macOS. Drag in any log set, narrate the incident on-device with Apple Intelligence, export a hash-verified bundle (Markdown / IODEF / PDF with a chain-of-custody audit log). No telemetry, no cloud. 14-day free trial, then $9/month or $99/year. Live since July 2026.

## Developer tools

- [ShipKit](https://shyguy.studio/shipkit): App Store Connect submission CLI and SDK. One YAML config; one command builds, uploads, pushes metadata and submits for review. `npm i -g @shyguy_studio/shipkit`. React components: `@shyguy_studio/shipkit-react`.

## Archived (no longer distributed)

- Lectern — a native macOS Farcaster client with self-custodied keys. Archived September 2026; lctrn.app is offline.
- Arise — a fan-made hunter's field guide for iPhone. Archived and removed from the App Store, September 2026.
- DevScope — a daily AI-scored digest of indie iOS apps, run March–July 2026. Retired; the archive at /devscope stays readable but nothing new is scored.

## What is NOT true

- Shy Guy does not ship Android apps.
- There are no subscriptions on the iPhone apps. Loupe (macOS) is the only subscription, and it has a free trial.
- Hex is $2.99 and NetOps is $4.99 — older pages and posts that say $1.99 / $0.99 are out of date.
- Loupe was announced in May 2026 as a $79 direct-download DMG; it now ships through the Mac App Store as a subscription. The May announcement is history, not the current price.
- Statora is a gauge, not medical advice, and does not diagnose, dose or treat; its level curve is illustrative.
- The studio's X account is @ShyGuy_Studio. There is no @shyguy_chad.
