Working Model is a small app studio in San Antonio, Texas. We build utility apps for niches drowning in subscriptions, ads, and data harvesting — and run the work on your device wherever the hardware allows.
iOS·Text-to-Speech·2026
Paste or share any text — articles, notes, LLM output — and listen to it like a podcast. The neural voice is an AI model that lives on your phone: nothing you read is ever sent to a server.
Web + iOS·Tides & Weather·2026
Tides, weather, radar, and sun & moon for all 3,600+ NOAA stations on the U.S. coast — so you don't check five websites before heading out. The web version is free. The iOS app adds saved places, widgets, and a 7-day forecast for $4.99 a year — a year, not a month.
iOS·Image Upscaling·2026
A simple, private image enlarger. An on-device AI model 4×'s small or low-res pictures — enough for print or wallpaper. The category standard is free credits, then pay per image, forever. Moarpixels is $4.99 once, because your phone does the work.
Me — Andrew Pope. I build these apps because I wanted them for myself and the alternatives wanted $60 a year, my location history, or both.
Every app here is something I use: I listen to articles on the drive to work, I check the tide before I fish. When you email support, I'm the one who answers, because I'm the one who wrote the bug.
Small tools, built carefully, sold honestly.
