FORM45
Stronger starts today.
Good training starts with a plan. Answer a few questions and FORM45 suggests one of nine complete programs, from two days a week to six, then lays out every session: the exercises, the sets, the reps, the rest. Guides for all 336 exercises show you how to do each one right. Log every set, track your lifts and weigh-ins, and set calorie and protein targets. Everything stays on your device and works offline, with nothing to sign up for.
Every app is a small opinion about how time should be spent. We want your time to be spent well.
The ventures.
What's shipping, what's drafting, and what's still in the workshop.
Bite-sized lessons you swipe through in spare minutes. Pick a topic, swipe through the basics, learn something new in the time you'd usually spend scrolling. Now live on the App Store.
Make finding a time with others fast and easy. Create an event, share the link, and everyone selects when they are free on a live heatmap that suggests the best times for everyone. A web app that is timezone-aware and calendar-connected, with no accounts to set up. Now live on the web.
A block puzzle with a lit fuse. Drag pieces to fill full rows and columns, and only bursting lines refills the timer, so you're always racing to keep clearing before it burns out. A campaign mode that keeps raising the stakes with embers, stones, ice, and gems, and an endless mode where the only objective is to beat your own high score. Now live on the App Store.
Cell service gives out in exactly the places people gather. Festivals, campgrounds, stadiums, trailheads, a basement show with a thousand people and zero service. CrowdWire keeps your group talking anyway. Open it, and the people around you are simply there, no signal, no wifi, no accounts. It feels like something that shouldn't work, but does. Now live on the App Store.

Finding your next book shouldn't feel like homework. Readxo deals you books one card at a time, each with a short hook. Save what pulls you in, pass on what doesn't, and every swipe sharpens the next pick. Saved books land on a shelf where you can track what you're reading, and every book gets a page built from the colors of its own cover.
Listening for the next thing that won't leave our heads. If you have one worth chasing, we're all ears at hello@sidehat.com.
Three steps, on repeat.
It isn't complicated. We just keep doing it.
An idea we can't stop thinking about. We write it down, sleep on it, and see if it's still exciting a week later.
The smallest version we'd actually want to use. Cut anything that isn't essential. Keep what makes it sing.
Out into the App Store. Listen to what people do with it. Fix what's broken. Then back to step one.
