Jobin Macwan

iOS developer since 2017 — six years shipping consumer apps in-house before going solo in March 2025 to build my own under Macwan Apps. Focused on clean SwiftUI, on-device privacy, and apps that respect people's time and attention.

Where I've built

Mar 2025 — Present

Founder & iOS Developer

Macwan Apps · Self-employed

Working independently as an iOS developer — building and shipping my own consumer iOS apps to the App Store end-to-end, from concept through launch.

  • WalkFirst — a Screen Time app that gates blocked apps behind live step goals from Apple Health. Built on FamilyControls, DeviceActivity, ManagedSettings, Shield UI + Shield Action extensions, HealthKit, RevenueCat, and StoreKit 2. Fully on-device — no user data is fetched, uploaded, or stored anywhere.
  • Rockiva / IdentifierMaster — an AI-powered visual identifier for iOS with streaming Claude / OpenAI vision APIs, confidence-scored results, a StoreKit 2 paywall, and localization across 35 languages including the AI outputs themselves.

Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, StoreKit 2, RevenueCat, FamilyControls, HealthKit, Claude API, OpenAI API, String Catalogs (xcstrings).

Apr 2019 — Mar 2025

Sr. iOS Developer

NXC Controls Pvt. Ltd.

Solo iOS engineer responsible for the company's consumer-facing iOS apps end-to-end — from architecture and UI through App Store submission and post-launch maintenance. Shipped two apps in the EV charging space:

  • An iOS app for a private EV charging network in India — map-based station discovery, WebSocket-driven live charging session monitoring, and payment integration via UPI, credit/debit cards, and net banking.
  • An official EV-driver iOS app published in partnership with an Indian state's electricity utility — map-based station discovery, OTP-based registration, payment gateway integration, and localization across English, Hindi, and Marathi.

Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, URLSession, WebSockets, MapKit + CoreLocation, REST APIs, Firebase, third-party payment gateways.

Mar 2017 — Mar 2019

iOS Developer

Frenzin Softwares

Early-career iOS developer building native iOS apps for client projects across two years. Worked across the full app lifecycle: UIKit-based UI, REST API integration, MVC / MVVM architecture, Core Data persistence, third-party SDK integration, and App Store submission.

This role laid the foundation for the more specialized iOS work I do today — Swift fundamentals, real-world debugging, and shipping to production on client timelines.

Stack: Swift, UIKit, REST APIs, Core Data, Firebase, third-party SDKs.
