ServicesiPhone and Mac apps
We design and build native apps in Swift and SwiftUI, ship them through the App Store, and look after them as iOS and macOS change. They use the platform’s own controls, gestures, and services, so they feel familiar from the first tap.
Why native
Not every product needs a native app. When one does, it’s usually for one of these reasons.
The controls, gestures, keyboard shortcuts, and dark mode people already know, so there’s nothing to learn before the app is useful.
HyperPasteKeyboard-first from top to bottom: open it, search, and paste without reaching for the mouse.
Apple Health, Reminders, Calendar, iCloud, notifications, and in-app purchases are all within reach of a native app, with the person’s permission.
TangoTwo-way sync with Apple Reminders, and health habits that read from Apple Health.
Everything can live on the device and sync through their own iCloud account. No sign-up, and no server of yours holding their information.
MomentumRoutines and history sync through the user’s private CloudKit database.
When the data lives on the device, the app keeps working on a plane, in a basement, or anywhere else the network doesn’t reach.
Rotate MealsMeals, plans, and ingredients are stored on the device, with no account to sign in to.
A Mac utility can run in the background and appear with a keystroke, without a browser tab to find first.
HyperPasteBuilt and tuned to stay running all day in the background.
Our apps
Every app here is our own product. We designed them, wrote them, shipped them, and we keep them current as iOS and macOS change.
iPhone
A calm workout tracker built on consistency over perfection.
iPhone
Daily habits grouped into routines, synced through iCloud.
iPhone
Logs nutrients to Apple Health and tracks your calorie deficit.
iPhone and iPad
Weekly meal plans without repetition, and the grocery list to match.
Also on the App Store: Replenish, for the real cost of everyday things, and Calendar Heatmap, for seeing a year of your calendar at a glance.
Native Mac app
A privacy-first clipboard manager for macOS.

System integrations
Native apps get a lot of their power from the system around them. Each of these is working in one of our own apps.
CloudKit and SwiftData
Data stays on the device and syncs across a person’s devices through their private iCloud database.
HealthKit
Writing nutrition into Health, reading the energy an Apple Watch has measured, and checking off health habits.
EventKit
Two-way completion sync with existing reminders, and shopping lists sent straight to the Reminders app.
EventKit
A year of calendar events turned into a heatmap of where the time actually went.
StoreKit
A one-time unlock for the full history, with no subscription attached.
UserNotifications
Local reminders and app badges, scheduled on the device without a push server.
AppKit pasteboard
Text, images, files, colors, and rich text from any app, each handled differently and shown consistently.
SwiftUI
One app, built to run on both iPhone and iPad.
How we work
Built from Apple’s own patterns so the app feels familiar on day one, with custom design where it actually earns its place.
Swift and SwiftUI, with AppKit where the Mac needs it. Data stored on the device with SwiftData, and synced with CloudKit when the app calls for it.
Health, Reminders, Calendar, and notifications requested when they’re needed, with a clear reason, never as a wall of prompts on first launch.
The App Store listing, screenshots, privacy disclosures, and review, plus the website and privacy policy the listing links to.
New versions of iOS and macOS, new devices, and new APIs arrive every year. We stay on, or hand off with documentation.
Good fit
And when it isn’t: if people mostly need to learn about you, or the product has to reach every kind of device on day one, a website or a web app may serve you better. We’ll tell you which.
Before you ask
Yes. Rotate Meals runs on iPhone and iPad. SwiftUI makes sharing code between them practical, though a good iPad app still deserves its own layout decisions.
Not necessarily. Momentum and Tango sync between a person’s devices through their own iCloud account, so there’s nothing to sign up for and no user database for you to protect.
Yes: the listing, screenshots, privacy disclosures, and review. Momentum, Log Nutrients, Rotate Meals, Replenish, and Calendar Heatmap are all on the App Store.
Usually something needs attention: a deprecated API, a new design convention, a permission that works differently. We look after our own apps as each release lands, and we can look after yours too, or hand it off with documentation.
If it needs the system, works offline, or is part of someone’s day, native is worth it. If it has to reach every kind of device or mostly lives in a browser, a web app may be the better first step. We’ll help you decide before anything gets built.
Yes. See taking over existing software. We start by reading it.
