We're Barrens Soft, a small independent studio making focused apps. Witloop: 3 fresh puzzles a day, one streak Quietune: masking sounds for tinnitus Slumber Sounds: sleep sounds with a timer Nolapse: next up Here: build notes, honest numbers, the odd puzzle. #indiedev #buildinpublic

Something new is in testing here: small logic grids, a few minutes a day, the same for everyone. No name yet in public, no date yet. When there's something to play, it'll be here first. #puzzle #logicpuzzle #indiedev

Save the date 🎃 Halloween Puzzle Week in Witloop, 25 Oct – 1 Nov. Eight days of Halloween pictures and spooky words, the same for everyone, with 8×8 Big Grids on both Sundays. One day earns the 2026 badge in bronze; all eight earn gold. #puzzle #halloween

With tinnitus, the ringing is often loudest when the room goes quiet. In Quietune you slide a tuner until the tone matches what you hear, and it plays the closest notched-noise track. Layer rain, ocean, fan or brown noise on top, up to three. Not a medical device. #tinnitus

From tomorrow, Witloop's nonogram is a fresh grid every day, the same for everyone. Monday is a 6×6 warm-up. It gets a bit harder each day, and Sunday is an 8×8 Big Grid. And in the anagram, any real word that uses all the letters now counts. #puzzle #nonogram

Quitting is rarely one thing. Vaping and doomscrolling. Sugar and the late drink. Nolapse keeps a streak for each, plus the money you've kept. Craving? One button, half a minute of slow breathing, no ads on that screen. Slip? Log it, keep going. #indiedev #quitting

New in Witloop. Missed a day? Freezes cover it, and once every two weeks a short video repairs a broken streak (or you skip it). Plus 43 badges, 11 of them secret. Earned by playing, never bought, and your past days already count. #indiedev #puzzle #flutterdev

Slumber Sounds and Nolapse are now on iPhone too. Slumber Sounds: rain, fireplace, ocean or white noise, with a 15–60 min sleep timer. Three sounds free. Nolapse: one calm tracker for quitting more than one habit. Free for two habits. Links in the reply 👇 #indiedev #iosdev

Weekend puzzle 🧩 Find the hidden 8-character equation. Two guesses are in: green = right spot, amber = in it but elsewhere, grey = not in it. What's the equation? Answer tomorrow in the replies. (It's Digit Duel from Witloop, our daily puzzle app.) #puzzle #mathpuzzle

Answer: 100÷4=25 Row 2 locks in 1 _ 0 ÷ _ = 2 5, so it's 1?0 ÷ ? = 25. That's 100÷4 or 150÷6, and 6 is grey. The amber 4 in row 1 confirms it.

New look, same idea: small apps from one small studio. Build notes, honest numbers and the odd puzzle here. #buildinpublic #indiedev

Puzzle people: when do you do your daily puzzle? ☕ morning coffee 🚆 commute 🥪 lunch break 🌙 before bed Reply with the emoji. We're picking the time we post puzzles here from the answers. #puzzle #puzzles

Where our apps stand this week: Witloop: live on iPhone since 16 Sep; Google Play since today Quietune: live on iPhone since 22 Sep; Google Play since today Slumber Sounds: live on Google Play; iPhone in review Nolapse: Android fixed after a start-up bug, back in Google's review; iPhone in review

Ratings across all of them: 0. That's the honest start line. Every week we'll post the real numbers here: followers, installs, ratings, and what flopped. #buildinpublic #indiedev #flutterdev

New logo day. The first one was a little landscape inside a rounded square. It looked like one more app icon, and at avatar size the detail disappeared. The new one is a single mountain: navy on white, white on blue, readable at 40 px. Before or after? Honest answers welcome. #buildinpublic
