Native Apple apps
for people who notice things.

A small studio making native Apple apps for visual obsessives, calm workflows, and anyone tired of software trying to be their best friend. Tools that do one thing well, stay out of your way, and don't ask you to sign up just to open them.

Apps

Small catalogue. Large opinions.

Three apps: one shipping on macOS, two in iOS pre-release. Different surfaces, same rules — private, fast, and yours to walk away with.

flexGrid

macOS 15+

In the works

A native Mac media wall with a mean little grin.

A macOS multi-video grid player for folders full of loops, references, and beautiful nonsense. Drop one in, hit play — the whole pile becomes a living wall.

flexLog

iOS 26.4+

In the works

Log your lifts. Own your data.

A workout tracker that's fast between sets and honest about every row. Plate buttons, a Dynamic Island rest timer, and the charts serious lifters actually want — muscle heatmap, balance radar, rep-range drift — all in Swift Charts, on your device.

flexCast

iOS 26.4+

In the works

Turn any script into a multi-voice podcast.

Paste a dialogue script, assign a voice per character, export a finished podcast — from your iPhone or iPad. The parser catches speakers, SFX, and music cues. Regenerate any line, compare takes, adjust pauses without touching the rest.

How we build

The stuff we don't budge on.

Native, not nailed-on

SwiftUI, AVFoundation, Metal. The real Apple stack, not a browser in a trench coat.

Private by default

No accounts, no sync, no telemetry. Your files stay where you put them.

Calm software

Breathing indicators, not spinners. Features that disappear when you don't need them.

One-time pricing

Real free tiers. Upgrades you buy once. No renewal email at 4:12 a.m.

Small studio. Short list. Real software.

Pick an app above, or send a note. We read everything and reply to most of it.
