Building experiences and applications to empower better living.
We build mobile apps for the ordinary, unglamorous parts of family life — tracking a child's symptoms, building money habits, staying close to the people who matter. Small tools, made carefully, for people who did not ask for another app to manage.
What we believe
What we believe
Build for the long haul
We would rather ship one app that lasts a decade than five that last a season. Nothing here is built to be flipped.
Earn the data we hold
We collect the minimum an app needs to work, we say plainly what that is, and we delete it when you ask. We do not sell it, and we never will.
Respect the person on the other side
No dark patterns, no engagement traps, no manufactured urgency. You should be able to put our apps down and get on with your day.
What we're building
Four apps, none of them released yet. Each has a page saying plainly what it is for and exactly how far along it is.
Relationships
Daily Connection
A small daily nudge to stay close to the people who matter.
In development
Money habits
KidEarn
Pocket money that teaches where money actually comes from.
In development
Reflection
Think Again
A place to revisit what you believed, and why.
Concept
How we handle your data
One of our apps, Symptom Kids, is built for parents tracking a child's symptoms. Health information about a child is about as sensitive as consumer data gets, so our commitments are written down and linked from every page rather than buried in a settings screen.
We never sell your data
Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. There is no version of our business that depends on it.
You can delete everything, any time
One email, no app install and no sign-in required. Here is how.
This website tracks nothing
No cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts, not even a hosted font. Nothing about your visit here is recorded.
