Independent apps, people first

Apps made for the people who use them.

We make calm, careful phone apps for everyday life: walking, lifting, eating well, tracking your cycle and learning a new game. Each one starts from what people actually want, and none of them sells your data. Ever.

What we believe

People first, in every decision.

Common ground is where we meet the people who use our apps: on their side, on their terms. These are the rules every app we make is built on.

Built for what you want

We start with the basics, gather the best ideas from similar apps, and make everything as configurable and easy to use as we can. We're always open to suggestions and change requests, and we take every piece of feedback seriously.

Your data stays yours

What you log stays on your phone. There are no accounts and no analytics, and our servers only hear from an app to download a story or to receive feedback you choose to send. Any ads are yours to configure and picked to be genuinely useful. Switching phones? Export your data and import it on the new one, on your terms.

Care in the details

Intuitive design, generous settings and ongoing translation support. Need another language? Just send us a request.
