What we do
We're a small, independent software studio. We design and build simple, well-crafted apps for iPhone and iPad, the kind of tools that do one thing genuinely well and stay out of your way.
Why older devices
A lot of perfectly good technology ends up in a drawer long before it stops working. An iPad from a few years ago is still a beautiful screen and a capable computer. Instead of letting it gather dust, we build apps that give it a new purpose, turning yesterday's device into something useful again today. It's better for your wallet, and better for the planet.
How we work
We believe good software respects the people who use it. That means no ads, no tracking, and no games with your data. Our apps are built to be clear, calm, and dependable, and to keep running well on the devices you already own.
Our first app
Encore Frame turns any iPad or iPhone into a beautiful photo frame, playing your photos and videos from your device or your cloud storage. It's the first of what we hope will be many small, useful apps. Learn more about Encore Frame →
