## Boilerplate

**Short:** Goodwhale is a one-person company by Arnaud Joubay making kind software: small, friendly apps that respect your time, your data, and your feelings.

**Long:** Goodwhale, based in Bordeaux, France, is the one-person company of French indie developer Arnaud Joubay. It makes kind software — small, friendly apps that respect your time, your data, and your feelings: No Meat Today, Quit Sugar: No Treat Today, Tortuba, Emojym, and Snack Workouts: Pyup. Every app is designed, coded, and supported by one person (with a dog sleeping on his feet). Goodwhale also co-owns Teambakery.

## The founder

Arnaud Joubay is a French indie developer based in Helsinki. Self-taught on iOS, he designs and codes everything himself, with his dog sleeping on his feet.
His apps share one thesis: software can be kind. Non-judgmental trackers that reward effort instead of punishing lapses, a dive logbook that celebrates the ocean, games that teach. No dark patterns, no guilt mechanics.
