Frags
A mobile app that turned your phone into a customizable macro keyboard

Frags was my second-ever project and the first time I shipped anything to a mobile store. The concept was to turn your phone into a macro pad, a grid of configurable buttons that you could fire at your computer for shortcuts, stream controls, game commands, anything that normally takes a key combo.
For a long time it was the kind of app a few dozen people used and enjoyed. Then Cinecom featured it on YouTube, and the install count went from “a steady trickle” to “15,000 downloads” essentially overnight. That was the first time I saw what a single well-placed mention can do to a side project, and it reshaped how I thought about distribution.
I eventually sunsetted Frags in 2023 to focus on Remark. It’s no longer actively maintained, but it holds a soft spot in my head as the project that taught me how mobile apps actually get to users.
