I have always loved creating things. First, there were Lego buildings and comic strips, then simple Atari ST games; and nowadays, it's Mac and iPhone applications.

That's also why I eventually chose software over my medical career, I guess. Medicine is about understanding how an organism works and fixing it, and that's undoubtedly an interesting field. But as far as I'm concerned, nothing beats making an idea come true.

Back in January 2007 Peter and I started a new project which today seems to enjoy a good reputation. I'm really having fun doing tech and mail support. If I'm not learning scripts for law, I try to solve your issues as fast as possible.

For problems with our applications (although we hope you never experience one), questions about purchase or if you're not sure about the personal benefit you'll get from our apps, please feel free to contact me.

What's in a name?

Many Tricks
Huh?

So why exactly did we call this place Many Tricks? Basically, it all started with Butler, which has been dubbed "The Original Many-Tricks Pony" for years. This nickname was originally chosen to reflect Butler's versatility in contrast to many competing utilities, which were mere one-trick ponies.

But there's a bigger picture that we got aware of when we were restructuring things and looking for a company name: All of our applications are supposed to make your computer life easier in many ways. Hence, they are designed to perform many tricks.
