On my Android phone's home screen I have 23 apps, 11 of them are my own. If Android prevents me from installing my own apps I will switch to something else.

Unless you move to a linux phone (good luck finding one or daily driving it) your phone options are iPhone.

iOS restricts you to install only up to 3 personally signed apps which need to be resigned every 7 days only if you're in the same network of the computer that signs them. Or you live in europe and you can jump through much worse hoops to install AltStores which also break as soon as you travel outside of europe.

That's cool. What made you develop a custom browser, notepad, calendar etc?

Probably a NIH syndrome. Once you know how to make apps it's easy, notepad took me maybe 20 minutes.
