Founder Bio

25 words Chris Busbin is an indie iOS developer building a portfolio of focused apps spanning trading, AI productivity, family operations, personal finance, food waste, and B2B SaaS.
75 words Chris Busbin is an indie iOS developer who runs a portfolio of focused apps as independent companies. His work spans Prop Firm Deal Finder (the largest aggregator of proprietary trading firm discounts), PromptForge (a native iOS prompt manager for AI power users), DebtFree (a no-bank-login debt payoff planner), and a handful of other consumer and B2B apps. Each is treated as its own brand solving one specific problem for one specific audience — no umbrella branding.
150 words Chris Busbin is an indie iOS developer building a portfolio of focused apps as independent companies. He runs Prop Firm Deal Finder (the largest aggregator of proprietary trading firm discounts and reviews, available on iOS, Microsoft Store, and the web at propfirmdealfinder.com), PromptForge: AI Toolkit (a native iOS prompt manager for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini power users with a built-in AI subscription tracker), DebtFree (a private, no-bank-login debt payoff planner with snowball + avalanche strategies), FreshTrack (a food expiration tracker), Family Ops Hub (kids' chore + streak app, COPPA-compliant), and WeddingDay Planner and Budget (premium wedding planning with no vendor marketplace).

No umbrella branding, no portfolio cross-marketing — different audiences, different problems, different products.

Common Press Questions

Q: Why a portfolio instead of one big product?
Different audiences need different products. Trying to merge them into one umbrella brand dilutes everything. Each app gets its own positioning, its own voice, its own marketing.

Q: What's the through-line?
One-time pricing wherever possible, on-device storage by default, no ads, no vendor marketplace games. The apps are about doing one specific job well, not capturing your data and reselling it.

Q: Who builds them?
Indie operation. Solo developer with occasional help on specific projects.
