Our apps
Smart software for everyday digital life.
We make utilities, tools and games that make everyday things a little easier, or a bit more fun. Each one is designed, built and looked after by the same team that does our client work, and they’re where a lot of our methods were first tried out.

Behind the apps
Built by us, and looked after by us.
We learn from how they're used
We look at how people actually use each app, so we can see where they get stuck and what brings them back. It's how we decide what to improve next, instead of guessing.
We keep them running
Servers, updates, store listings and support are all handled in house. When something breaks, the people who built it are the ones who fix it.
We listen to the people using them
Reviews and support messages get read and answered. A good share of the features in our apps started as somebody asking for them.
What we’ve learned
What running our own apps has taught us.
Write-ups with the real numbers, because measuring our own software is the same work we do for clients.

Building something?
We build apps and websites for other businesses too.
The same team, the same care, and the same habit of measuring what people actually do. Tell us what you have in mind.
