About SKAV Digital
Building practical apps that stay simple, useful, and easy to trust.
Our Approach
Designed to do the important things well
SKAV Digital is built around a simple idea - apps should be easy to use, practical, and just work.
I'm not a large company or a development agency. I'm a regular traveller who spends a lot of time on the road, especially on longer trips and in the caravan. Like many people, I tried a range of apps to track fuel use and trip costs, but most of them were either overly complicated, cluttered with features I didn't need, or simply didn't work the way I expected.
That frustration is what led me to build Tripometer.
Instead of trying to do everything, the focus was on doing the important things well - keeping track of fuel usage, costs, and trip segments in a way that is quick, clear, and easy to understand.
Built for real-world use
Every part of the app is designed with real-world use in mind.
No unnecessary features
No clutter
No tracking
Just simple tools that are actually useful.
SKAV Digital is about creating apps that feel straightforward from the moment you open them, and stay that way as you use them.
If you've ever been frustrated by apps that overcomplicate simple tasks, you'll understand exactly why Tripometer exists.
Tripometer isn't about building a big company or chasing profits. It's about creating something useful and keeping it that way. The small one-time cost simply helps cover ongoing updates and ensures the app continues to work reliably as iOS evolves.
CashBookly keeps small business records simple
CashBookly was built with the same practical approach. It is a simple cashbook app for small businesses, sole traders and partnerships who want to record income and expenses, import bank statements, manage receipts, and export useful reports without the complexity of full accounting software.
Like Tripometer, CashBookly is designed to stay clear, useful and easy to understand. The aim is to help people keep their records organised without turning everyday bookkeeping into a chore.

Bandwidth Beacon makes live network activity easy to understand
Bandwidth Beacon is a lightweight Mac menu-bar utility that monitors the Mac's active network interface and presents current download and upload rates, recent history, and session statistics in a compact native interface.
Optional Per-App Network Insights is now available in Bandwidth Beacon. It can show live rates and current-session totals for applications, helpers, and system services, with all measurements processed on the user's Mac. Bandwidth Beacon follows the same practical approach as SKAV Digital's other apps: focused, local, private, and easy to use.

TroveTrace keeps the story of each find together
TroveTrace is a privacy-focused journal for metal detectorists who want to record finds, hunts, photos, notes and chosen locations in one organised personal collection.
It follows the same practical SKAV Digital approach: clear records, useful details and control over when information is backed up, exported, shared or synced.
