Mothers Ruin Software

An Independent Developer of macOS Software

About Us

Mothers Ruin Software is the nom de guerre of one Randy Saldinger, a Seattle-based independent — and completely unpaid — developer of macOS software.

I've been using macOS since 1988 — when it was called System 6. I've been developing for macOS since 2003 — when it was called Mac OS X. I worked on the macOS Engineering team at Apple from Snow Leopard through Mavericks — when it was called OS X.

Since leaving Apple, I've been “temporarily” retired — anything is possible, but don't hold your breath — and continuing to develop for macOS to the extent it entertains me. I don't make money from this endeavor in any way, so have the luxury to do what interests me and ignore the rest.
