The family
Built in-house, layer by layer.
Every app is written, shipped and supported here. Nothing gets lost in a handoff. See all nine apps and their Google Play links →

PhotoWall
Artistic collages and calm slideshows that turn any Android TV into a living picture frame.

Refoto
Lay old prints on a table, take one photo, and get each one straightened and repaired — fade, colour cast, dust and scratches, all on the phone.

In the workshop
Refoto already fixes fade, cast, dust and grain with classical maths. A torn or missing corner needs a model — a deliberate second version rather than tens of megabytes everybody carries for a case most shoeboxes do not have.
The same on-device stack pointed at your own documents: ask questions, get summaries, and have none of it leave the handset.
Storyboard shipped on iPhone and iPad in September. Focus Dashboard is next through App Store review, then the other phone apps, each built natively in SwiftUI rather than ported.
Why we build
Layer after layer, until it feels effortless.
- Private by default. Data stays on your device unless a feature you turn on needs to sync it.
- Made to be looked at. Objects you'd leave running, not utilities you tolerate.
- Shipped, then sharpened. Numbered improvement rounds and third-party security review.
- One person, end to end. Design, engineering and support from the same place.
Questions, ideas, bugs?

Feature requests, bug reports and “could it do this?” all land with the person who builds the apps, and every one gets a reply.
