Hi, I'm Matt. I build the apps I wish I had.
Surfon is my one-person studio for apps and games, based on the North Devon coast. I have always been the person who tinkers with tech, takes things apart and wants them to work better. Building my own apps properly, in Android Studio, has been on my list for years.
Trickle started with my own phone. I wanted to stop losing evenings to scrolling, but every blocker I tried was too strict, so I switched it off within a week. I wanted something gentler that still worked. So I built it.
I build in the evenings and at weekends, around a full-time job and a young family. That shapes everything Surfon makes. Each app has to be simple, respectful of your time and worth paying for.
I use modern tools to build, including AI coding assistants. Every app is still designed, tested and used every day by me.

What you can expect from Surfon
One clear job
Each app solves one problem well, and you understand it in a minute.
A real free version
Not a trial. Paid features are extras, never the basics held back.
Respect for your data
Apps ask only for what they need, and explain why in plain English.
A person behind it
Email about a bug or an idea and the person who built the app reads it.
Trickle is the first. Sector is next.
Sector comes from being a Formula 1 nerd. It shows your live average through speed camera zones on Android Auto, a bit like sector times for the drive home. After that, who knows. Maybe a simple little game. Whatever it is, it will be small, easy to pick up and worth your time.
