Flatcracker Software was founded by developer Shane McLean in 1993. Upon conception, Flatcracker Software focused its efforts on development for Windows applications. In 2008, the focus of the company moved towards iPhone application development. Today, Flatcracker Software has released four applications that are currently sold on the iTunes app store; Lady Biz, Period Plus, Hello Governor, and most recently, Planet Starslug; which is an app designed specifically for the iPad.
The first iPhone application released by Flatcracker Software was Lady Biz, a specially designed application enabling women to manage vital health details. The idea for the application came forth from developer Shane McLean and his wife Karin. After years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive a child, and experiencing on-going appointments with various doctors and specialists all asking to track and report on various bits of detailed information; it was clear that keeping an ongoing journal and preparing for the next doctor’s appointment developed into an overwhelming ordeal. “My husband created Lady Biz for me while we were trying to conceive. During that time, it helped me track my cycles, waking temperature, and intimacy….everything my doctor needed me to track. Before Lady Biz, I was tracking it all on paper, but Lady Biz made it a no-brainer,” says Karin McLean.
The second application released by Flatcracker Software was Period Plus, which is a free, scaled-down, version of Lady Biz, mainly focusing on periods, hence the name. The third application was Hello Governor, an app designed as a fun way to greet people with a British accent. And finally, the fourth application released by Flatcracker Software is Planet Starslug; an iPad application designed with children in mind. Planet Starslug introduces children to new sounds and colorful characters.
Developer Shane McLean continues development on his iPhone/iPad by creating new versions of his applications which are packed with increased functionality and new features. In his spare time he is also a DJ/Remixer/Producer of house music. His discography includes released remixes for Kaskade and the Rurals, and numerous unreleased remixes for multiple artists including Colette, Andy Caldwell, Late Night Alumni, and Summer of Space.
