Small studio. Careful apps.
iPhone apps designed, built, and published by Joel Sereno in Tucson, Arizona.
About Prickly Pear App Works LLC
I’m Joel Sereno, and Prickly Pear App Works LLC is my app studio in Tucson, Arizona. It’s just me — I design, build, and publish iPhone apps start to finish, one at a time. Every app starts with a problem worth solving and gets built until it does one thing properly.
I’m also open to a small number of advisory projects. The work is planning and direction: turning an idea into a realistic first version, deciding what ships now and what waits, mapping out a release, navigating App Review and TestFlight, and getting a listing ready to launch. I’ve taken three apps through that whole process, and the advice comes from having done it rather than read about it. Engagements are short, fixed in scope, and start with a conversation.

The Apps
Quote Reflect
Save the lines worth keeping, then write down what they meant to you. Your reflections stay with the quote, so revisiting a passage later means revisiting your own thinking too.
Theater Room 7
Recommendations from people you actually trust. See what your inner circle is watching, where it’s streaming, and keep track of what you’ve been meaning to get to.
Dance Calories
Dance workouts tracked on Apple Watch. Log a session, watch your cardio numbers, and keep a running history — built for people whose exercise doesn’t fit the standard categories.
