Ryan Price

Software engineer for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro.

I ship native apps across the entire Apple ecosystem, plus widgets, Live Activities, smart home integrations, and AI features on Apple platforms and beyond.

About Me

I'm a software engineer who builds for every screen Apple makes: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. I studied Business Computer Information Systems at the University of North Texas, and I've been shipping apps, open source tools, and smart home plugins ever since. If this site's design didn't give it away, I have a soft spot for classic Mac OS.

Every app I build follows one principle: it should work on every device you own, and show up everywhere the system lets an app live beyond its own icon. That means widgets, Live Activities, extensions, the Apple TV Top Shelf, the Mac menu bar, and anywhere else you might reach for it.

What I work with:

  • Apple platforms: native apps for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS, plus widgets, Live Activities, and iMessage extensions
  • AI & machine learning: on-device with Core ML and MLX, plus Claude and other LLM integrations, in Swift and Python
  • Smart home: HomeKit and Homebridge plugins used by thousands of homes
  • Backend & web: push notification servers, APIs, and deployment
