Craig

Founder & Lead Developer

A self-driven Android developer building premium games and apps independently under the CSX Developers brand โ€” with a taste for trance music, hardware tinkering and pushing the boundaries of what a solo dev can ship.

The Studio

CSX Developers is an independent one-person Android studio founded with a simple mission: to build apps and games that are genuinely great โ€” thoughtfully designed, technically solid, and worth your time.

Every product released under the CSX Developers banner is designed first for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, taking full advantage of Android's foldable capabilities, then scaled to the wider Android ecosystem.

The studio operates under a consistent visual identity โ€” deep navy, electric cyan and magenta โ€” and a consistent technical stack built on Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and MVVM architecture targeting API 35.

From DJ apps and AI assistants to board game adaptations and physics puzzlers, the common thread is quality: clean code, polished UI and apps that do what they promise.

Early Beginnings

First Steps in Android

Getting started with Android Studio on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold โ€” building initial apps, learning Gradle workflows and establishing the CSX deep-navy neon brand identity.

First Releases

Games & Tools Take Shape

Cowboy Showdown and MyDJ's core engine established. The dual-deck audio architecture and 21-lesson Academy curriculum first shipped.

Expanding Portfolio

Diverse App Suite

MyAI Pro, MySticky, CloudShare, TickMyBox, MyDive and The Hunt: London all delivered. MVVM + Room becomes the house standard across every project.

Now

Growing & Iterating

MyDJ gains BPM caching, Bluetooth compensation, hardware controller mod and cloud integrations. Scurry Up! ships. More titles in active development.

What Drives the Work

โšก

Quality First

No half-finished features, no placeholder UIs in production. Every release is polished to a standard worth putting your name on.

๐Ÿ“

Foldable-First Design

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is the primary development device. Every layout is designed to take advantage of the large inner screen before being adapted for phones.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Clean Architecture

MVVM, Room, Navigation Component, Hilt โ€” consistent patterns across every project making codebases maintainable and predictable.

๐ŸŽจ

Distinct Visual Identity

Deep navy, electric cyan and magenta. A cohesive brand runs through every app so users immediately know a CSX product when they see one.

๐Ÿ”ง

Hardware Integration

Software and hardware in harmony. From Raspberry Pi companion controllers to Bluetooth delay compensation โ€” going beyond the screen when it matters.

๐Ÿš€

Continuous Shipping

Build, ship, iterate. A growing portfolio of released apps โ€” not vaporware โ€” with real users on Google Play is the metric that counts.

No Ads. No Tracking. Just the App.

Every CSX Developers app follows one simple rule: your data is yours. We don't sell it, track it, or use it for advertising โ€” ever. Apps are either free, or a one-off purchase. Nothing in between.

๐Ÿšซ

Zero Ads

No banner ads, no interstitials, no video ads. Apps are ad-free by design โ€” not as a premium perk.

๐Ÿ”’

No Data Selling

Your personal data is never sold, shared or handed to third parties. What's on your device stays there.

๐Ÿ“ต

No Tracking

No third-party analytics SDKs. No behavioural tracking. No ad fingerprinting. We simply don't collect it.

๐Ÿ’ท

Fair Pricing

Apps are free, or a single one-off payment. No subscriptions, no surprise charges, no paywalled features after purchase.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Local-First

Where possible, data is stored on your device. Cloud sync is always opt-in, never mandatory โ€” and never monetised.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

UK-Based Studio

Independent UK developer. No VC funding. No investor pressure to monetise users. Just apps built to be useful.
