studio

Apps and websites, made with a writer's care.

I'm Berkay Doğan, a published writer and developer. I design and build iOS apps, websites and live data products, from the first sketch to the App Store, and I write every word on the screen as carefully as a line in a book.

Available for remote projects in the Netherlands, the UK and across Europe.

Have a project in mind?

What I build

iOS apps

Native SwiftUI apps with maps, audio, location and live updates, designed for the latest iOS and shipped to the App Store.

Websites and web apps

Fast, accessible sites and web apps in Next.js: portfolios, product pages, bilingual sites, dashboards.

Live data and backends

Postgres and Supabase backends, realtime updates, scheduled jobs and APIs that stay quick under load.

Localization

Interfaces translated and checked in up to 30 languages, with copy that reads naturally in each.

Selected work

nowby live station list

nowby.

What is playing on the radio right now? A live tracker for 350+ stations, with charts built from real airplay counts, artist pages and a world radio atlas.

How we work

  1. 1

    A short call

    You tell me what you need; I ask the questions that shape the scope.

  2. 2

    A clear proposal

    A written scope with what will be built, what won't, and a fixed price.

  3. 3

    Weekly progress

    A working build to try every week, so nothing surprises you at the end.

  4. 4

    Launch and care

    Store submission, launch, and fixes after release.

Principles

No dark patterns. No manipulative design, no endless feeds by default. My own apps run without ads or likes.

Words matter. Every button, empty state and error message is written, not filled in.

Small and direct. You work with the person who designs and builds your product.

Have a project in mind?

Write a few lines about what you'd like to build. I reply personally.
