Rescue-tempo UX
Every screen you can reach with a thumb in under a second. High-contrast type, hit targets sized for gloves and cold hands, no modal traps.
Code 1 Studios is a one-person Apple software house run by a Registered Rescue Paramedic. Every app ships from the same workbench where the kit gets checked before shift — and the tools have to work when everything else is going sideways.
Native Swift and SwiftUI. Offline-first. Private by default. Designed for gloves-on, one-handed, in-a-hurry use — because that’s the day job around here.
Every screen you can reach with a thumb in under a second. High-contrast type, hit targets sized for gloves and cold hands, no modal traps.
Mine sites, remote highways, drug rooms with no signal. Your data lives on your device. CloudKit is sync, not a hostage.
Roster fatigue, night-work sleep, medic paperwork — these apps come from lived experience, not focus groups.

The daily driver for anyone on a roster: swings and rosters read in from a photo or file, readiness, sleep and body clock, water, caffeine and food, pay and payslips, and pre-shift checklists, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.

Hear Neon StallionMichael Blach has spent his career at the sharp end of Australian pre-hospital care: state ambulance service, motor-racing trauma teams, standby paramedic contracts, and part-time phlebotomy work to keep the venepuncture skill razor-sharp.
Code 1 Studios is what happens when you can’t find software that fits shift life — so you write it yourself. Every release comes from Rural & Remote Queensland, tested on real 12-hour night duty rosters and remote deployments where the closest genius bar is 800 kilometres away.
“If the app can’t survive a helicopter transfer at 3 a.m. with tired hands, it’s not finished yet.”Read the full bioMichael Blach · Registered Rescue Paramedic · Founder
