It’s been an exciting first month for Carousel but we were genuinely surprised when we launched the Mac App Store last night and saw this:
And just in time for WWDC!
Thanks to everyone who purchased a license through the Mac App Store and the Mobelux Store. It allows us to continue developing apps like Carousel. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store for 1.1!
Couldn’t be prouder of our new baby and I’m very excited about the future. Just goes to show what amazing talent with hard work can pull off. Nice work fellas!

iHome has a new line of home stereos on the way that can be controlled by iHome+Sleep, a forthcoming “social music alarm clock” iPhone app. Not quiet Yet Another Alarm App, iHome+Sleep has some…
A nice read from Macworld:)
Announcing iHome+Sleep, the First Hardware Enabled iPhone Alarm App!
Whew! It’s been a long time coming but we can finally show everyone what we’ve been working on. In late summer we began working with iHome to create the best alarm app on the iPhone. The hard part? They wanted it to enhance their hardware, too.
So we’re super excited to announce what we’ve come up with. iHome+Sleep works as a killer alarm app with or without the iA5, but dock it to the hardware and you can do all the things you hate doing on your alarm clock through an elegant iPhone interface, like setting the hardware alarm, one touch time syncing, adjusting the treble & bass, changing display brightness, and more.
And what about the app? That’s not too shabby either. There’s a fun system for storing alarms that self-contain all their settings with a swipe-to-dock interface. If you link your Twitter and Facebook accounts you can get an overnight timeline of what all your friends said while you were sleeping once you wake up. It even keeps sleep stats about you like how often you hit snooze on average, average bedtime and wakeup, and your favorite music to wake and sleep to.
The integrated system is being announced at CES today, so look for more info soon. Until then read more about it here! We’ll let you know when the free(!) app hits the App Store.
We’re very excited to get this out to everyone soon!
Cứ biết thế. Hôm nào thử.
Im going to assume this is positive. Anyone know?
Haha. That means “Save for later. I’d give it a try”.
Nice.
By the way, thanks for translating your post; it would have driven me crazy all day.
Sounds like our first t-shirt slogan :)

It is a pretty surreal feeling when you first get to sell something that you created for yourself and not for somebody else. Photographers feel it with the sale of their first print. Software developers do with the sale of their first application.
Now granted, the first application that the company I co-founded (Mobelux) developed is not a high-dollar paying app. But it is a product… real and tangible and able to be used to fulfill a task (in this case posting to a tumblr account, like this one). And last night was our first sale. All in all, we have started a company, designed and programmed an application, developed a company and product website, and even completed the first phases of marketing material… all in a little over 2 months while working full time with our normal jobs. It will be interesting to see how things progress over the next few months.
Keep an eye on us here. Maybe the next application we develop will be something you want.
Say hello to Tumblrette
In the middle of the night something pretty cool happened. Apple approved our first iPhone app, Tumblrette.
So what is Tumblrette?
First, let me tell you why we even bothered making it. Mobelux is pretty much in love with Tumblr. It centers around the idea that most people want to blog, but when they get going with a blogging service they find that it’s really hard. Generally, after about three posts the average person gives up. Tumblr is a different kind of blogging service that allows you to create a tumblelog. Instead of longer drawn out posts, you can post little spurts of content. A picture you took last weekend. A quote you just read in a book. A conversation you overheard at lunch. There’s no pressure because you can contribute whenever you have time, but when it strikes you to write something with a little more meat, you can.
The other great thing about Tumblr is the dashboard. Because Tumblr is a social network, you can “follow” other Tumblrs and see all the things they post in a central place. It’s kind of like a Facebook wall for tumblelogs. The folks at Tumblr have done a great job building a website that allows you to do all this, as long as you’re in front of a computer.
That’s where Tumblrette comes in.
Wouldn’t it be great to post to your tumblelog from wherever you are, right when you want to? How about checking in on your dashboard while you’re in line at the grocery store? What about posting a picture on the fly? With Tumblrette, you can. You can even set advanced options, like tags, posting to groups and setting posts as private. If you’re an experienced Tumblr user you’ll find it hard to live without Tumblrette after about a week. Just ask these people!
We hope you’ll give Tumblrette a try. You can learn more about it here and get it on the iTunes App Store here.
Let us know what you think.
