Covering an iPhone Duo with app sales

Buy my apps, help me buy a Duo.

I'm Matt Braun, the developer behind SketchParty TV. I'm planning to buy an iPhone Duo (1TB) when pre-orders open on October 16. That's $2,599, and I want to fund it with app sales.

Every app you buy below moves the meter (updated daily).

Buy SketchParty TV

Browse the apps or read the blog post.

No donations. Just buy apps I've built, some of them for over a decade.

How this works

  1. 1

    Pick an app

    Party games, puzzle games, classroom tools, a business app. There's probably one you'd actually use.

  2. 2

    Buy it on the App Store

    Purchases go through Apple like any other app. You get the app; Apple sends me my cut a little later.

  3. 3

    Watch the meter move

    Each morning I tally the previous day and post the new total here. Pre-orders open October 16.

Pick an app. Any app.

These are apps I've built for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Tap a download badge to go straight to the App Store.

Note: most of the apps are free to download, with in-app purchases. The only app which is paid up front is SketchParty TV, so if you want to support the cause, buy that one.
