About
Headroom is a one-person studio making macOS tools for audio work. I've spent most of my life around audio - live sound first, then recording and production, and eventually into software. These days I work in software quality at a major professional audio company, while my home studio stays busy with personal projects. Guitar has been the constant through all of it, and I've been steadily picking up drums and bass.
I build the apps I was always missing: focused tools that look and behave like they shipped with macOS.
Why aren't these apps free? Building and maintaining software properly takes real time and investment. A one-time purchase makes that sustainable without subscriptions, ads, or eventually abandoning the project. You buy it once; I keep it working.
