We design, build, and ship software for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Meta Quest.

At Hopes Tinkery, we believe the best technology starts with a simple question: What if there were a better way?

We're a small, independent software studio with a passion for turning everyday frustrations into thoughtful, practical solutions. We build applications, games, and tools with one goal in mind: making life a little easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable for the people who use them.

PumpDash

PumpDash is a desktop and mobile app that gives parents of children with type 1 diabetes a live, at-a-glance view of their child’s insulin pump data. It pulls readings from the pump and shows the key numbers (glucose trends, insulin on board, delivery history, pump status) in a clean, readable interface.

The desktop version is designed for a 7.8-inch display and can run inside a 3D-printed enclosure as a dedicated bedside or kitchen-counter monitor. The Android app keeps caregivers connected away from home, and Apple Watch and CarPlay support are planned.
