Software for people who like their Mac.

I make apps for Mac, iPhone and the web, along with games you can play in your browser. Browse the collection or read about how I build them.

The apps

Apps for Mac, iPhone and the browser.

Browse the apps I build, from Mac utilities to a PDF editor you can open in a tab.

Also from the studio

Smaller apps, and games for a browser tab.

Notes and courses

Written the way the apps are built.

A build write-up for every app, and the odd note on the craft. The courses are free, with no sign-up.

Using Claude to crawl car prices across the Balkans

I wanted to know what a new car costs in Macedonia and whether it is cheaper next door. The prices are in 1,200 importer PDFs across seven countries. How I use Claude to read them every week, and what I had to build around it so the numbers can be trusted.

Five landing pages, one family: making a studio's sites look related

My product sites were black and my own site was white, so every "by Karakabakov" link was a small culture shock. How I moved everything onto one system: shared tokens, one button style, one hero, and an accent that is the only thing each product keeps for itself.

The person behind it

Gjorge Karakabakov, engineer in Skopje.

11+ years of React, React Native and Node.js, a good part of it leading the people building alongside him. The apps above are what he builds outside the day job. The CV, the career history and the industries he has worked in are on the profile.
