See FrameBench →About Broken Man Studios
Broken Man Studios is an independent studio run by one person, building apps for makers, small workshops and nearby communities, with an iPhone and iPad focus.
Who's behind it
Broken Man Studios is led by a solo creator, who builds and maintains every app in the lineup — currently QuiltMath, KnitMath, FrameBench and Open Here, with iOS development prioritised.
Why it exists
Craft and workshop materials are expensive, and getting the math wrong mid-project is frustrating. Our craft calculators show their assumptions and practical purchase amounts, so you can double-check a plan before you buy.
