About Ayhan
Ayhan is a solo app developer who runs gen2apps, a one-person software studio established in 2025 that ships small iOS, Android and web apps without ads or dark patterns. He handles design, development and support himself, and on X he posts the parts launch threads usually leave out, such as App Store rejections, rewrites and real numbers.
The gen2apps catalog includes KeepUp, a habit tracker with heatmaps, streaks and shareable progress cards; StepKit, a step counter that replays walks in 3D with an Apple Watch app; Scour, which finds card numbers and other sensitive data in a user's photos on-device; and pingrobot, a web uptime monitor for sites, APIs, servers and cron jobs.
