Octet Méditerranée

Independent iOS apps from the south of France.

I build native iOS apps for problems too oddly specific to already have one.

The apps

Excerpt

Audiobooks · iOS

Highlight audiobooks the way you highlight a Kindle book.

While listening to audiobooks, I kept coming across passages I wanted to keep, with no real way to do it. So I built Excerpt: one tap during playback and the app grabs the last 30 seconds, transcribes the passage right on your iPhone, and files it under its chapter, so you can find it again without hunting through the audio. Add the EPUB of the same book and Excerpt matches the highlight to the exact passage in the text, so you can read it in context.

  • Tap once to clip a passage while listening — from iPhone or Apple Watch
  • Transcription runs on-device with Apple's speech models
  • Pair an EPUB to anchor highlights to the written text
  • Search every highlight you've ever saved, across all books
  • Sync to Readwise, export as text, or re-export books as M4B

SixtyNineMSM

Sexual health · iOS

A probability, not a guess.

Between two STI tests, all you have is "probably fine". SixtyNineMSM replaces that with a number: the probability of having acquired an infection since your last test, modelled encounter by encounter from published per-act transmission data and UK surveillance statistics — computed entirely on your iPhone, with no account and no server.

  • Cumulative probability per STI — HIV, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, syphilis
  • Every estimate carries a 95% credible interval from a Bayesian model
  • Accounts for condoms, PrEP, Doxy-PEP, vaccination, and partner status
  • Risk decomposed by day and by encounter, anchored to your last test
  • No account, no server, no analytics; Face ID-protected export

Every app here started as a personal itch: a workflow I wanted that simply didn't exist. They are, admittedly, the curiosities of a rather nerdy developer — built natively in Swift and SwiftUI, biased towards on-device processing, and shipped through the App Store.
