Hi, welcome to Arisphere
I build tools that I find useful
About Me
I build the tools I wish I had
I'm Ari, and Arisphere is where my side projects live. Most of them start with a small problem at home: keeping track of every pot on the stove, listening for a sleeping baby, or finding a fresh walk to finish my 10,000 steps.
I make iOS apps with SwiftUI and React Native, free web tools that run right in your browser, and learning games for kids in Icelandic. I keep them simple and private: no sign-up, no subscription and no cloud where it isn't needed.
Featured Projects
Whiskly
v1.3.0 coming soonKitchen timers & sauce recipes
Your stove, on screen: every burner shows its own flame-ring timer. New in 1.3: scale any recipe up or down, and twelve recipes in every cuisine.
- The home screen is a picture of your hob: four burners and the oven
- Each burner shows its timer as a flame ring that burns down
- Tap an empty burner to start a timer there; tap a running one to pause it
- Loud alarm and notifications, even when your phone is locked
- The + and − buttons scale every ingredient, one serving at a time
- Paste a recipe from anywhere and Whiskly finds the cooking times in each step for you
- No account, no ads, no tracking
What's new in 1.3
A new look: your stove, on screen
- The home screen is now a picture of your hob. Each burner and the oven shows its timer as a flame ring that burns down
- Tap an empty burner to start a timer right there. Tap a running one to pause it, or hold it for +1 min, +5 min, restart or clear
- Timers that aren't on a burner, like the grill or a second pot, are listed under the hob
- A fresh flame-orange look throughout, in light and dark mode
Cook for any number of people
- New + and − buttons next to the ingredients scale every amount, one serving at a time
- Amounts read the way a cook writes them: 1⅞ tbsp, 2 onions, 1.2 kg
Recipes, restyled
- Tap a step's time and its timer goes straight onto a free burner, or pick the burner yourself
- A new look for the recipe screens, with your cuisines up front
- Every cuisine now has twelve recipes instead of six, with one-tap step timers
