App Designer & Developer

Apps built to be used, not just downloaded.

I'm Kevin Perry — a media editor by trade, building the focused, function-first iOS apps I always wished existed. From regional Australia.

Projects

Apps built for people who want something better than what already exists.

Function first. Always.

I'm Kevin Perry — Senior News Editor and co-owner of TV Blackbox, Australia's TV-industry trade publication. Kevin Perry Creative is where I build the apps I always wished existed.

Two decades of editing taught me one thing that carries straight into software: respect people's time. Cut the fluff. Get to the point. I build apps the same way I edit — focused, opinionated, and doing one thing exceptionally well instead of everything badly.

I'm not a traditionally-trained developer. I'm a self-taught maker who, working alongside AI, can finally ship the apps I've spent years wishing someone else would build. That's the real story here: AI didn't replace the craft — it unlocked it.

I build for serious, everyday users — because I am one. No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions for the sake of it. Just native iOS apps that work flawlessly, day after day. The clean design is in service of that, never the point of it.

Why Autohop exists

I've listened to podcasts for 20 years. Last year alone, over 190,000 minutes — most of it on long drives across regional Australia. I've tried nearly every podcast app out there. Some got a few things right. None did everything I needed. So I built the player I'd always dreamed of. Autohop is the first of more to come.
