About Salette
Salette was born from a dinner conversation in June 2025. Friends were discussing the impact of LLMs as coding assistants and how they're changing iOS app development. When I asked what they'd like to see built, one friend asked if there could be an app to track their art collection.
The next morning, I had a demo running as a proof of concept. After taking care of a few things over the following months, Salette launched on the App Store in November 2025.
The app icon is a small nod to the moment that sparked it all.
Hi, I'm Steven, the developer behind Salette. I love building apps that solve real problems and bring joy to people's lives. When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, working my day job in banking, and turning ideas into reality.
