GDC World · Web apps for households · Podcast and travel films

Build it.
Film it.
Ship it.

We build small, practical web apps for households and run them ourselves. Four are live today — Cat’s Health, The Recipe Book, the Travel Planner and the Season Planner — all behind a single GDC account.

We film as well as we build

GDC World is a channel as much as a workshop: the English-language podcast Texas Calling and travel films shot mostly in the United States.

The tools

Built, shipped, in daily use

Four products in production. Every one of them was a private problem first, which is why none has a feature nobody uses.

Cat's Health — feeding log
Web app · iPad, phone and computer

Feeding, weight, vomiting, documents, medication and vaccinations for the cats of a household, shared by everyone who looks after them. Scan the can you are opening and the meal is logged; when a dose is due, every screen on every device in the household says so.

  • Feeding log with can scanning
  • Drug plans with due-dose reminders
  • Weight, vomiting and vaccination tracking
The Recipe Book — dashboard
Web · Household meal planning

A shared recipe book for one household: recipes come in from websites, public Instagram posts, photos and PDFs, are read by AI and checked by you before saving. Dinners are planned around your shopping day, and one shopping list covers the whole shopping cycle.

  • Import from link, photo or PDF
  • Planning assistant for each shopping cycle
  • Shopping list sorted by aisle
Travel Planner — all trips
Web · Trip planning

Plan a trip as stops and nights, together with your household. Every date follows from the start date and the nights. Flights, beds and hire cars are compared until one is chosen, and the budget, to-dos and open decisions show what is still missing.

  • Dates worked out from nights
  • Options compared, favourite, then booked
  • Open decisions across planned trips
Season Planner — the week ahead
Web · NFL and college football

The NFL and college football season from Germany: every kickoff in Berlin and US Eastern time, and where each game can be watched in Germany. Star the games you want, get a push reminder before kickoff, and keep scores hidden until you have seen them.

  • Kickoffs in Berlin and Eastern time
  • Where each game streams in Germany
  • Scores hidden until you’ve watched
Access

One account, all four tools

Registration and sign-in run through the GDC Tools Manager. One e-mail address and password open every tool an administrator has activated for you, and your household decides who shares your data.

New here? Start with the guide
  1. 01 One account for every GDC tool Register once and confirm your e-mail. The same login opens every GDC tool you have access to.
  2. 02 Request a tool, an administrator grants it Ask for the tools you need under My tools, and you get an e-mail once an administrator decides. Sign up from an app, and access to that app is requested for you.
  3. 03 Households share one workspace Cats, recipes and trips belong to the household, not to a single person. Household admins invite people by e-mail, and everyone in the household sees the same data.
