About

Hi, I’m Ivo Gruner, a creative technologist and problem‑solver with roots in international policy and transdisciplinary studies. Over the years I’ve built educational programs, supported refugee initiatives, and now focus on crafting simple, elegant digital tools that bring a little more ease, fun, and discovery to everyday life.

Having kids, living with two chronic illnesses and following a special diet myself, I’m especially passionate about health‑focused apps and community projects.

What I’m Working On

  • ABCs Made Fun: An interactive mini‑site that turns preschool letter practice into an emoji‑powered game.
  • Text Splitter Tool: A free web app to slice large text files into manageable chunks—perfect for AI workflows.
  • STEM Coloring Books: Illustrated printables blending classic themes (knights, unicorns) with modern topics (AI, robotics).
  • Keto NutriTracker: A mobile app for effortless macro tracking, optimized specifically for ketogenic diets.
  • 100 Trips in/around Bremen: A curated guide of local excursions—families, couples, solo adventurers welcome.

Each project springs from my desire to solve a real need—and hopefully leave you smiling, learning, or exploring something new. Feel free to dive in, try them out, and drop me a line with your feedback or ideas!
