The story
I built this
for myself.
I'm Rueben, a developer from Ireland. I got fed up with every recipe and grocery app being either bloated, expensive, or stuffed with ads. I just wanted something simple that helped me plan meals and get round the shop without the faff.
So I built Forage. It took a while, but it does exactly what I needed and nothing else. When it was done, it felt too good to keep to myself.
McBurrows Nua is the name I gave the studio. Nua means "new" in Irish. It's just me, my Mac, and a commitment to building things properly. No shortcuts, no dark patterns, no pressure to monetise everything.
No ads. No subscriptions. Just good software, completely free.
