About Chepatapa Apps

A one-person studio building small, privacy-first mobile apps and developer tools. Here's who is behind it, what it makes, and how the guides and printables on this site are written and sourced.

Who's behind this

Chepatapa Apps is run by Tsimafei Lemeshchanka, a software developer. It's a solo project, built alongside a full-time job, with no team and no funding. You can find the developer on GitHub and LinkedIn.

The author is a developer, not a doctor, psychologist or parenting expert, and nothing on this site claims otherwise.

What it makes

Flare tracks hot flashes and night sweats and shows which triggers show up most. Kin Compass gives parents of preschoolers daily routines and scripts for hard moments. Bloomelle forecasts the coming week from your cycle. All three are on the iOS App Store. Naveli, postpartum recovery yoga, is in development.

For developers there are Perchly, a private Swift package registry, and Publy, a private Dart and Flutter package registry.

How the guides and printables are made

The scripts, printable charts and planners on this site come from the apps' own content and from public health sources. Each page lists the pages it relies on, such as CDC, the NHS and the Office on Women's Health, and each source is opened and read before it's cited. When a claim in the apps can't be backed up, it's dropped or softened, and tips that aren't from a source are labelled as practical suggestions.

The pages are drafted with the help of an AI assistant and then checked against the cited sources by the developer. They offer practical communication techniques and planning tools, not medical advice, and they are not a substitute for a pediatrician, therapist or doctor.

If you find a mistake or an outdated source, please email a correction and it will be fixed.

Privacy

The apps are built to work without an account, and the personal details you enter stay on your device. This website uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand visits. Each app has its own privacy policy with the details, see also Kin Compass, Bloomelle and Naveli.
