How this studio works

Five things that are true, and stay true.

  1. 01

    Independent

    No investors, no board, no growth chart. The studio is funded by people buying the apps, which is the only incentive that points the same way yours does.

  2. 02

    Nothing leaves your device

    The apps do their work locally. There is no server to send anything to, so there is nothing for anyone to collect, sell, or lose.

  3. 03

    Never a subscription

    Nothing here is rented. No monthly fee, no tier waiting behind a wall, nothing to cancel.

  4. 04

    Always paid for once

    One purchase, and the app is yours. It keeps working whether or not anything else ever ships.

  5. 05

    Native to the platform

    Built with Apple's own frameworks, so the apps launch fast, sit light, and behave the way the rest of your system does.

The record

Plain answers, kept on one page.

What this is
An independent software studio.
What it makes
Apps for Apple platforms — utilities, tools for everyday life, and games. Each one is listed here as it ships.
How it is paid
By people buying the apps. Not by advertising, not by selling data, and not by investors who need it to grow forever.
What it collects
Nothing. This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. The apps keep your data on your device.
What it will not do
Sell your data, rent you software you already bought, or ship a feature that needs a server it does not need.

Small on purpose.
