Building Helpful Apps with AI

We make mobile apps and web tools that try to solve everyday problems. Sometimes we use AI to make things work better, but mostly we just want to build stuff that's actually useful.

2     def __init__(self):
3         self.deployment_strategy = "YOLO Friday 4:59 PM"
4         self.backup_plan = "git blame someone else"
5         self.weekend_plans = "pray nothing breaks"

8         # git add .
9         # git commit -m "fix stuff idk"
10         # git push --force
11         # *logs off immediately*
12         return  "that's a problem for Monday 😎"

Current Projects

Here's what we've been working on lately. Some are live, some are still in development, and some are just ideas we're playing around with. We'll update this as things progress.

Hungry Koala

iOS & Android App • Coming Soon

A food analysis app that helps you make healthier choices when grocery shopping. Point your camera at ingredient labels and get instant insights about food processing levels and whether items match your dietary preferences. Making healthy eating a bit easier, one scan at a time.

More Projects Coming Soon

We've got a few other ideas in the pipeline. Some are just sketches, others are early prototypes. We'll add them here as they become more concrete.

About Us

We're just a small team in Sydney who likes making apps and trying new things with technology. No grand mission to change the world - we just want to build cool stuff that works.

What We're About

We started PHANES because we wanted to build the kind of software we'd actually want to use ourselves. Simple idea: make apps that solve real problems without being overly complicated.

Sometimes that means using AI, sometimes it doesn't. We're more interested in what works than what's fashionable. Our goal is just to create software that makes people's lives a bit easier.
