Olive Shoots
Shared family calendar
Helping your family bear fruit.
Olive Shoots is a shared family calendar that keeps the list, so the day does not have to live in your head. The point is the few minutes at the end of the day, when you sit down and ask how it went.

About
A small studio, on purpose.
I am Jim McAndrew. I have written software for more than twenty years, and I founded Dronelink, which makes flight automation for drones. Ashley and I homeschool our children.
Olive Shoots, our first app, was built in our own house, for our own children. We made it because we are a family trying to use the ordinary tools of this century without handing our children over to them.
Appstackly is where we make that kind of software: small, plain about its price, and made for the people who use it. The measure, for us, is the number of homes it actually helps, not the model that got it there.
