About

Headroom is a one-person studio making small, focused tools for macOS. 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 a constant; I'm also deep into learning drums and bass.

I build the apps I was always missing. Tools that do one thing well, feel native to macOS, and stay out of the way. Clean design isn't a nice-to-have — it's the point.

If you're a UA Apollo user who's ever reached for the keyboard to adjust your monitor volume and gotten a system beep instead, Lyra was built for you.

Why aren't these apps free? Building and maintaining software properly takes real time and investment. Every app I ship I intend to keep supporting — bug fixes, staying current with macOS updates, responding to feedback. A one-time purchase price makes that sustainable without subscriptions, ads, or eventually abandoning the project. You buy it once; I keep it working.
