How we build

Small apps, held to a few firm rules

Phones are full of apps that ask for an account, a subscription and your attention before they do anything useful. Ours do the useful thing first.

One job, done properly

Each app solves one everyday problem and stops there. No feeds, no bloat, no features invented to fill a roadmap.

Your data stays on your phone

Scans, documents and records are stored on your device. Nothing you create is uploaded unless you choose to share or sync it.

No account walls

Install it and use it. Signing in, where an app offers it at all, is an upgrade for syncing, never a gate in front of the thing you came to do.

Honest about how we earn

Our apps are supported by a light amount of ads, and a single one-time purchase removes them. No subscriptions, no dark patterns.

Policies

Privacy policies and terms

Every app's policies in one place, written in plain language.

Questions, feedback, or a bug to report?

Every message is read by the person who builds the apps. Tell us which app, and what phone you are on if something has gone wrong.
