One person, 15 apps, and a list that keeps getting longer.
Ashhub is one person: an engineer in Tianjin who makes apps on the side. Design, code, artwork, localisation, App Store operations and this website are all the same pair of hands.
Every app started the same way — as a note that said "why does this not exist?". A scorer for one dialect of mahjong that nothing else gets right. A wok you toss by flicking your wrist. A light that keeps travelling, at the speed of light, for a pet who has gone. None of them are the demo of something bigger; each one is the whole thing, made properly because it should exist.
The notes fall into three piles: things to play with, quiet company for hard moments, and reference done properly — the formula next to the result, the source next to the fact.
How the apps are built
Small on purpose
Each app does a narrow thing properly rather than a broad thing loosely. That is what one person can actually ship well.
The source next to the fact
Reference apps show their working — the formula beside the result, the record beside the claim — so you can check it rather than trust it.
Free to download, fair to pay
Every app is free to download. Paid features are mostly one-time unlocks; a few apps offer an optional subscription. Anything already given away free stays free.
On your device by default
Whatever can run on the phone, does. Most apps never open a network connection; the few that do say so on their own page. No accounts, no trackers — a habit, not a headline.
On the App Store
Apps are published under the founder's own name, 明 齐 (Ming Qi) — that is what Apple displays as the developer. Ashhub is the studio those apps belong to, and the name used everywhere else.
