About - DigTek

I'm André. I live in Norway and build apps that try to do less.

In the summer of 2025, I built 11 iOS apps in three months using AI assistance. I'm not a programmer—I had basic HTML skills and a lot of opinions about what software should be. The AI let me build what I couldn't code myself.

The irony isn't lost on me: I preach constraint while building 11 apps. The first one, FocusAnchor, is about doing one task at a time. Fifteen minutes after finishing it, I was planning five more apps. If that's not proof the app was needed, I don't know what is.

Each app does one thing. No subscriptions, no tracking, no dark patterns. They're tools I wanted to exist—simple, focused, Norwegian in spirit. "Digg" is a Norwegian word meaning pleasantly good. Not revolutionary, just... right-sized.

The blog, the book, the podcast, the apps, they all exist because they matter. Not on a big scale, but for me at least. I write, make apps, record, and hope someone finds what I made useful enough to engage with.

What the apps are about

Constraint as design philosophy. One task. One note. One memory at a time.

One thing well

FocusAnchor shows one task. MemoryAnchor holds seven memories. NoteToSelf limits you to ten notes. Constraint isn't limitation—it's liberation from overwhelm.

No dark patterns

No subscriptions. No tracking. No notifications unless you ask. No growth hacking. Just tools that do what they say and get out of your way.

Norwegian minimalism

"Digg" means pleasantly good—not revolutionary, just right-sized. "Passe" means appropriate. The apps are built with that sensibility.

Privacy first

Your data stays on your device. No cloud sync to break, no servers to breach, no terms to update. Offline by design.

Why it matters

The apps came first

The blog and podcast exist to help people discover the apps. That's the honest truth. The book was a long time in the making, and the summer of '25 the catalyst that made it come together.

Visibility without social media

I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Building in Norway without those platforms means writing, recording, and hoping someone finds this useful.

Made with AI, designed by human

I used AI-tools to build what I couldn't code. The vision, constraints, and philosophy are mine. The implementation had help.

One-time purchase, yours forever

Most of the apps cost only what a coffee costs (or less). No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no surveillance capitalism.
