Hey, I'm Blu.
Most days I'm making songs, playing games or building apps.

METRO
A music player that puts your albums first. It controls the Spotify app you already have, plays Apple Music, and lays your liked albums out as one living wall.
macOS 14.2+ · Needs the Spotify desktop app · Windows coming soon
First open: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway
Why I built it
I built METRO because Spotify and Apple Music started to feel cluttered. With every song ever made a tap away, albums turned into background noise, and hardly anyone sits with one or gets attached to it the way we used to.
I still think an album, front to back, is the best way to listen, and I'd love more people to give it a go. So METRO has one job: to give you a beautiful, interactive way into the albums of the artists you love, with a few different ways to get hooked on them.
What it does
Free to use. A one-time lifetime licence unlocks METRO 8, the visualizer and Snap Control.
Why METRO
The name is pure nostalgia. Zune and the Metro look of Windows Phone and Windows 8 were way ahead of their time: big thin type, flat colour, and everything in motion.
Not many people got to use them, and a lot of younger people never saw them at all. METRO, and its METRO 8 interface most of all, is my way of letting them experience that design, so they don't miss out on it.

余白
Month & Board
A month planner and a whiteboard on one continuous sheet. You plan by drawing and writing, and the calendar understands your ink.
Coming to the Mac App Store
For Mac first · iPhone and iPad after that
What it is
The left half is a board for thinking: sketches, notes, lists. The right half is the month. They're one surface, so you can drag a scribble onto a Friday and it belongs to that Friday.
Circle a date and it's important. Tick it and it's done. Draw a line across a few days and it becomes a plan you can name. Everything else you draw just stays as ink on that day.
Why I made it
My ideas lived on whiteboards and in notes, and my plans lived in a calendar app full of little boxes. The two never met, and typing a plan into a form never felt like planning.
I wanted the feel of a paper diary next to a desk you can scribble on: one ink surface where the board and the month share the same space, so an idea can turn into a date just by dragging it over. Yohaku is that sheet.
What it does
Everything here is in the Mac app today, unless it says otherwise.
Why Yohaku
Yohaku is Japanese for blank space: the margin left around the words on a page.
That empty space is where you scribble, think and breathe, and it's what this app is made of. The little red 余白 next to the name is the word itself, stamped like a seal.
Yohaku is coming to the Mac App Store. iPhone and iPad come after that.
