Just me, building the apps I wish already existed.

Each one began as something I wanted for myself.

Behind the apps

Gnome Bobon is me — Brad Herman — building apps from a home in South Lake Tahoe, California. It's a Delaware LLC on paper, but the work happens here: by hand, one thing at a time.

Not a startup, not an agency, not a team. Just a home for the things I think are worth building. More at bherms.com.
