Two new apps are now submitted for review, and the rest of the portfolio is still moving forward.
Heirloom and Fillbook are the newest projects heading toward the App Store. At the same time, Rally Track and Bean Hunt are getting better at collecting ratings and feedback, while Real Estate Manager continues to grow with more features for property owners.
That combination is a good picture of what building a portfolio actually looks like. There is always something new to submit, something existing to improve, and something to learn from the people already using the apps.
Heirloom: An Old Letter Reader
Heirloom is built for people who have old letters, records, diaries, or other handwritten documents they want to understand and preserve.
The app helps turn photographs of handwritten letters into readable, searchable text. That can make a box of family correspondence feel much more approachable. Instead of leaving old documents tucked away because the handwriting is difficult to read, Heirloom gives them a practical way back into everyday life.
There is something meaningful about working on a product like this. The technology is useful, but the reason behind it is personal. A letter is not just a document. It can be a voice from another time, a family story, or a detail that would otherwise be lost.
Heirloom has now been submitted for App Store review. The public App Store listing will be linked here as soon as Apple makes it available.
Fillbook: A Trading Journal Built for Review
Fillbook is a trading journal for options and futures traders who want a clearer way to review their activity.
Trade data can become difficult to understand when it is spread across individual fills, multiple legs, positions, and rolls between expirations. Fillbook is designed to organize that information into a more useful review workflow.
The app can import broker exports, group fills into positions, follow rolls across expirations, and give traders a place to review what happened. It is designed around the idea that a trading journal should help you learn from your decisions, not just store a long list of transactions.
Fillbook also takes a local-first approach. The journal is meant to stay focused on the trader’s own data and workflow, without requiring a broker login. The result is a more deliberate tool for looking back, identifying patterns, and improving the process over time.
Fillbook has also been submitted for App Store review. The screenshot above shows the review queue, which is one of the main places where the app turns raw activity into something easier to work through.
Rally Track: Making Feedback Part of the Product Loop
Rally Track is a focused pickleball scorekeeping app. It is intentionally simple: players should be able to keep score, stay in the match, and avoid turning a game into a setup exercise.
Recent work has included improvements around ratings and user feedback. Ratings matter because they help new players decide whether an app is worth trying, while feedback helps point toward the next improvements worth making.
The challenge is getting that feedback at the right moment. A rating request should feel like a natural part of the experience rather than an interruption. The goal is to make it easier for satisfied users to share their experience while keeping the core scorekeeping flow fast.

Bean Hunt: Continuing to Improve Discovery
Bean Hunt is built around coffee discovery: helping people find interesting drinks and coffee shops, then keep track of what they try.
Like Rally Track, Bean Hunt has also received work focused on ratings and feedback. A discovery app becomes more useful as people contribute their opinions and experiences. Those responses help identify what is valuable, what needs clarification, and where the product should improve next.
The goal is to keep Bean Hunt fun while making it more helpful as a personal coffee companion.

Real Estate Manager: Adding More Useful Features
Real Estate Manager continues to grow as a tool for small landlords and independent property owners.
The app brings properties, units, tenants, leases, rent, payments, and expenses into one focused workflow. More features have been added to make that day-to-day property information easier to manage and review.
This is the kind of app where small improvements can have a real effect. Property management is made up of many recurring details, and keeping those details organized reduces the amount of information that has to live in memory, scattered notes, or separate spreadsheets.

The Work Is the Portfolio
These updates are connected, even though the apps serve very different audiences.
Heirloom is about making old documents accessible. Fillbook is about making trading history more understandable. Rally Track and Bean Hunt are learning from ratings and user feedback. Real Estate Manager is becoming more capable for people managing property.
The common thread is the ongoing loop: build something focused, submit it, listen carefully, and improve the parts that matter.
New app submissions are exciting, but the work does not stop when an app reaches review. The next stage is seeing how people respond, where they get stuck, and what makes them come back. That is how a collection of small apps slowly becomes a stronger portfolio.
