HorseDex 1.4 is on the App Store, headlined by Spending: one tab for everything your horse costs, with counts that show how fast things go and livery that repeats on its date. Plus everything else since 1.1. Want something next? Ask at horsedex.co.uk/feedback
Kalkman Code slide 1 of 7. HorseDex, on the App Store now: Version 1.4. The headline: Spending gets a tab of its own. Plus everything else since 1.1. 5 new features, 5 things you asked for, 4 bugs fixed. Slide 2 of 7, The headline, versions 1.3 and 1.4: Spending gets its own tab. A screenshot of the Spending tab for a horse called Bramble: a 12-month total of £891.50, and expenses for livery at £420, bedding at £114 with 12 used at about 2.2 a week, hay at £90 with 18 used at about 3.1 a week, and arena hire at £12. Beside it: everything it costs, care visits count too, one total, and how fast it goes. Slide 3 of 7, Spending in detail. A tab for everything it costs, version 1.3, asked for. Count what you use, version 1.3, asked for. Expenses that repeat, version 1.4. Spending from the diary, version 1.3, asked for. Everything counts towards the one total. Slide 7 of 7, Tomorrow on @horse_dex: the Spending tab in use, a short film built from a real owner's own spending. Already built for the next update: with Button Shapes switched on, the header no longer cuts your horse's name short. What should come after that? Ask for a feature at horsedex.co.uk/feedback.

@horsedex.co.uk 1.1 is on the App Store: three new features, six things people asked for, five bugs fixed. Care visits carry what they cost, flu and tetanus are separate, and a diary day takes a photo. The next one is already built. Ask for more at horsedex.co.uk/feedback.
Kalkman Code slide 1 of 6. HorseDex, on the App Store now: Version 1.1. Everything in the update, and what is coming after it. 3 new features, 6 things you asked for, 5 bugs fixed. Plus what is already built for the next update. Slide 2 of 6, New features. Spending on care visits, totalled by item on the Care page. Backups you can see under HorseDex in the Files app. A week card that matches the diary card's colours. Slide 5 of 6, Bugs fixed. £5,000 no longer saved as £5. Errors while recording a visit on Android are now shown. Chips stay whole at large text sizes. Busy days fit on the share card. When two devices change one record, the newest change wins. Slide 6 of 6, Already built for the next update. Version 1.2, build 57: the journal in Android's own backup, smaller backups, the day's photo on the shared picture, the plan flags bookings missing from the week, one currency for costs. Version 1.3, build 59: rebuilt for iOS 27 and macOS 27, resizable in iPhone Mirroring. What should come after that? Ask for a feature at horsedex.co.uk/feedback.

I built a private app for my sister's horse in July. Forked it public, rebuilt as one Swift codebase for iPhone and Android, tested through 56 builds. HorseDex is live on the App Store today.

HorseDex is out. A free health journal for your horse, for iPhone, iPad and Mac. No account, no server, nothing collected.

Built for one person, released for anyone. Ask me to build it and it costs. What I choose to release is free.

Job and customer systems. Phone apps. Booking and quoting tools. A wedding page, or one for someone worth remembering. The infrastructure behind any of it.

Cheap to run, and your data stays where you can reach it.

A wedding site holding the photographs and the guest list. A tool replacing the spreadsheet an office is frightened of. An app on the store. Infrastructure nobody ever sees.

Different shapes, same standard.

Kalkman Code is where I put the software I build.

Web applications, business tools, apps, and one-off keepsake sites for weddings and tributes.

One engineer. No agency, nobody in the middle.
