Studio journal

We write when we ship.

This is the OZJAM journal. No publishing schedule, no growth posts, no reheated news. When a release goes out or a decision needs explaining, it gets written up here — plainly, and in full.

Four posts: Warry shipping, the repair release that followed, both apps reaching Google Play, and Laundry Jam on its way. The list is short because we only write when something has actually happened.

Everything published so far

One written the week Warry 1.0 reached the App Store, one for the 1.1 repair release, one for both apps reaching Google Play, and one for Laundry Jam on its way. We are not inventing a fifth to pad the list.

Our next game, Laundry Jam, is on its way

Our third app is a laundry puzzle: how it plays, the boosters and bonus rounds, when ads appear and what it does with your data. Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

Warry and PurrBuddy are now on Google Play

Both apps on Android: Warry 1.2 and PurrBuddy 1.0.2. What is identical, how permissions and the advertising identifier differ by platform, what the leaderboard becomes on Android, and two mistakes we corrected on this site.

Warry 1.1 is a housekeeping release

No new features — five repairs and two links. The currency label on saved items, rows that would not open, an ad banner sitting over the content, photos that took more room than they needed, and the styling the app used to fetch over the network instead of carrying with it.

Warry 1.0 is out

What made a warranty tracker worth building, why there is no server of ours behind it, why there is a banner ad instead of a subscription — and the three things left out of 1.0 on purpose: sync, export and push notifications.

More is on the way

Posts appear when there is something real to report: a Warry update, a decision worth explaining, or the next app leaving the studio. The gaps in between are deliberate.

There is no mailing list here, and no tracking. Bookmark the page, or just tell us what you would like written up.

What you’ll find

Three kinds of post, and nothing else.

The journal exists to answer the questions people actually send us. If a subject cannot be written about honestly, it does not get a post.

Release notes that name things

Every version gets a plain list: what is new, what was fixed, what is still missing. You will not find “various improvements and bug fixes” here.

The reasoning, not just the result

Why offline-first, why no account, why a single banner ad instead of a subscription. Decisions that affect you get explained, not announced.

The limits, written down

Warry has no sync, no export and no push notifications today. Those gaps get published here too, so nobody discovers them after installing.

Something you want explained?

Tell us which feature, which decision or which privacy question you would like written up. Reader questions are the shortest route to a new post.
