About Drywater Dev Co.

Drywater Dev Co. offers free Android apps, Adobe scripts, and Windows utilities—all built to solve real workflow problems. As a video producer and motion graphics artist, I’ve spent years working around inefficient workflows and missing tools. Eventually, I decided to build what I needed and then share the solutions.

From Video Production to Software Development

My primary work is video production at Drywater Productions, a company I co-founded in 2008. There, we handle everything from writing and directing to editing and compositing for clients worldwide. As a result, I identified gaps in everyday productivity tools and creative software workflows—problems that existing solutions didn’t address well.

For this reason, I created Drywater Dev Co. in 2024: to develop practical solutions that solve specific, real-world challenges. For example, these include Android apps for everyday coordination and financial tracking, Adobe After Effects automation scripts for motion graphics work, and Windows utilities for various productivity needs.

Free Tools Built from Real Needs

Every tool on this site exists because I needed it first. For instance, RememberMyTurn emerged from the challenge of tracking turns in group activities. Likewise, RelativelyPaid helps manage informal loans between friends and family. Similarly, the Center at Anchor Point script came from repetitive After Effects tasks I was tired of doing manually. In addition, I built the Offline Meeting Transcriber to handle audio transcription locally without cloud dependencies.

All of these free Android apps, Adobe scripts, and Windows tools aren’t polished commercial products. Instead, they’re functional solutions I’ve tested in daily use. Furthermore, all downloads are free. In the end, if they improve your workflow or make your life easier, I’ve accomplished what I set out to do.

Found a bug or have improvement suggestions? Let me know—I’m always refining these tools based on user feedback.
