About StratumCode

StratumCode is the name behind a small family of apps for macOS and iOS. It is run by one person, Theo van Stratum.

The person

I am Theo van Stratum. I have a doctorate in Information Technology and have worked in software for around fifty years, in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Asia, in roles from writing code to running delivery. I live in Manila.

I was using Python and Django before Django reached version 1.0, in 2006, and Python is still the language I know best. The native apps are written in Swift.

Why layers

Strata are layers laid down one on another, and that is how this catalogue is built. Each app is a layer on the same foundation: the same care in how it is made, the same refusal to pad it out, and the same respect for the people who use it.

The logo says the same thing in three bars.

How the apps are made

I design them, write them and answer the questions about them. Each app does one job and is described honestly: a feature is listed on an app's page only when it is in the app today.

Apps are built to keep your work on your own device, in files you can find, copy and back up.

Get in touch

The current catalogue is on the apps page. For a question, an enquiry or a problem with an app, use the contact form or the support form, or write to support@stratumcode.net.
