The apps
Six products, two of them actually available. Status is stated on every page of every site because a product you cannot install is not a recommendation, and pretending otherwise would undermine everything else we publish.
Available now
shipcheck — shipping
Catch the App Store or Play rejection before you submit. A Claude Code plugin that scans a React Native or Expo project, cites the exact guideline clause, predicts what the reviewer will say and names the file to change. Runs locally — no account, no repository upload. First scan free with real findings; $29 one-time per app, $49/yr unlimited, $149/yr agency.
Not for: native Swift or Kotlin-only projects, or teams wanting a hosted dashboard.
FlirtGym — live since 12 August 2026
Practise the conversation before it is real. Screenshot a message and get three replies with the reason each one works, or rehearse a whole conversation with an AI that loses interest if it goes flat. Previously called RizzMaxx — same app, same App Store listing. iOS.
Not for: anyone looking for manipulation tactics, or anyone wanting a matching app. And plainly: a small, new app with very few ratings and no press.
In development
MileTruth
The gig mileage tracker that does not miss trips, and tells you what the driving actually paid. Capture rate as the primary engineering metric, plus a personal cost-per-mile model so gross becomes net. Handles 2026's two IRS rates on the correct side of June 30. Planned $59.99/yr — MileIQ's 2024 price.
Not for: W-2 employees, or multi-driver reimbursement administration.
Rigsheet
Job management for one-van businesses. Scheduling with drive-time gaps, quotes with vehicle-size and home-size multipliers, deposits, invoicing and customer texting. $19/mo Solo, $39/mo Pro, flat — no per-seat fee, no appointment cap. Covers detailing and cleaning, which most products in the category do not.
Not for: multi-location shops with large crews, or trades outside detailing and cleaning.
HormoneLog
An HRT regimen and a symptom history in a form a clinician can read. What you take, at what dose, since when, what changed — against how you actually felt. Local-first. Planned $49.99/yr.
Not for: anyone seeking a diagnosis, a dose recommendation or a clinical assessment. It does none of those, deliberately.
Nearvo
A daily connection habit for couples. One question a day, answered separately then revealed to each other, with shared streaks that only advance when both of you show up. One partner subscribes and both unlock. Planned $49.99/yr, $9.99/mo or $129.99 once.
Not for: couples in crisis, who need a licensed couples therapist rather than an app.
What they have in common
One problem each, named narrowly. Not a mileage suite — a tracker that does not lose trips. Not a field-service platform — quoting and scheduling for someone with one van.
A free site that stands on its own. Every product has a website publishing its category's real answers with sources attached and no signup, and the test applied to each page is whether it would still be worth reading if the product did not exist.
Published standards. Primary sources on every claim, competitor prices from the vendor's own page with a date, evidence labelled by strength, and our own products disclosed on every page they appear on — including the comparisons where a competitor wins. The editorial standards.
About Baker Ventures
Baker Ventures LLC is an independent software studio run by Ryan Baker. It builds small, single-purpose iOS and developer tools: MileTruth (mileage and true net pay for gig drivers), Rigsheet (job management for mobile detailers and cleaners), HormoneLog (perimenopause symptom and HRT record-keeping), Nearvo (a daily connection habit for couples), FlirtGym (practice conversations before they are real), and shipcheck (App Store and Play pre-submission checks for React Native and Expo).
Every Baker Ventures product is built on the same rule: cite the source, name the limit, and never claim an outcome the product cannot deliver. The reference material on these sites is free, needs no account, and states where each fact came from.
