James Anthony and Eddie Marks co-founded Inedible Software, a Palo Alto based iPhone development company with over 3.9M downloads. They first learned iPhone programming at
Stanford University in CS193P, where they were taught by Paul Marcos and Evan Doll, two Apple engineers. After graduating in June 2009, with James earning a BS in Physics and Eddie a BAH (Honors) in Economics and a BS in Mathematics, they started work on Inedible Software full time.


Inedible Software has produced some of the most popular apps in the app store, including Air Guitar, Shotgun Free, Shotgun Pro, POW and Song Sift. Shotgun Free was the #2 free app for over two weeks and has been on the Top 100 free list for over 6 of the last 9 months, obtaining some 5.9 million downloads to date.  They also created an app on contract (currently unavailable) to promote the Magnolia Pictures film Mutant Chronicles and an app for the indoor mapping company Micello.


Their primary focus has been exploring the capabilities of the accelerometer, moving from typical shake and tilt detection to full gesture recognition (Air Guitar detects strumming and whammying, Shotgun Free / Pro detect cocking and firing and POW detects punching).

Industry players have recognized them as having unique insights on the evolution of the app marketplace, and they hope to share their experiences monetizing apps with advertisers and pay models and ensuring an app gets noticed.
