Indie iOS developer making real-time video apps

Hi, I'm Dave

VJ and visual artist since 2004

I'm an iOS developer based in Aotearoa New Zealand. I started running live visuals in 2004. Back then a set meant hauling a video mixer, a stack of feeds, and a hard drive full of clips to every gig. When the iPad arrived I started building the rig I actually wanted to play out with.

Real-time video for iPhone and iPad

GoVJ shipped in 2015 and has been in the App Store ever since. Thousands of people use it now, at gigs, in galleries, and in schools running video and STEM classes.

Focus, Looper, and Video to Audio came out of the same workshop. They're all real-time apps for iPhone and iPad.

If you're putting on a show, working on an installation, or building something real-time on iOS, say hi.
