Ethan Fox
iOS and full-stack developer in Irvine, CA. I design, build, market and ship apps on my own under Boomboom LLC, from the app to the backend to the safety and legal systems behind it. I shipped my first apps by hand in 2023; now I lead AI coding agents, setting the architecture and direction, reviewing and testing their work, and handling what AI can't: App Review, device testing, legal and launch.
Apps
BoomBoom In App Review
Creator platform for timed, limited-edition photo posts that fans pay to unlock. Built solo over three years: a SwiftUI app, 71 Firebase Cloud Functions, a Cloudflare Worker and an admin dashboard. Nothing goes live until it passes PhotoDNA, SafeSearch and text moderation, and the app files NCMEC reports, handles takedowns and pays creators on its own.
Handbill: Invoices & Estimates Live App Store
Invoices for tradespeople that work fully offline. Apple Intelligence turns a job description into priced line items, Vision scans receipts, and a custom PDF engine renders 7 invoice styles. No accounts, no servers.
Dream Journal Live · Dreemy 2.0 coming App Store
Private voice dream journal. Speech recognition, insights and pattern finding all run on the phone, with sleep data from Health, Live Activities and a Face ID lock.
TypeIsland Coming back
Typing RPG across 10 islands and 50 zones, with difficulty tuned by simulation and stories written by Apple Intelligence.
Flikkit! Live
Physics arcade game built in SpriteKit, with Game Center leaderboards.
Web
3D site designer for a prefab building company
Design a building in the browser, place up to 8 of them on your real campus in photorealistic Google 3D, and share the whole project in one link. It also writes the board-meeting paperwork. Demo video coming soon.
Marketing & launch
I take my apps all the way to market: App Store pages and screenshots, pricing and subscription plans, SEO websites, launch and growth plans, and working through App Review.
