About Ohanaware

Joy & Sam have been making Mac apps since 2007

Joy and Sam, met on the island of Kaua'i, back in 2005. Together they formed "Ohanagames", making non-violent video games. Their game "Recyclorama" went on to become a top 10 hit.

Back then, digital photo editing tools were complex, unforgiving and expensive. So this wife and husband duo, designed and built their own all-in-one consumer orientated Photo editor "Funtastic Photos".
