  • One payment, restored on any device with your Apple Account
  • Updates come with it, at no extra cost

An illustration with a typical price; our apps cost $8.99 to $19.99 once.

Private by design

Your notes, photos and money stay yours.

  • It happens on your device

    Transcribing, finding the junk in your photos, searching what is in a picture: the work runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, not on our servers.

  • No account to make

    No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and start. There is nothing about you for us to keep, lose or sell.

  • Sync goes to your iCloud

    Where an app syncs, it uses your own private iCloud, which only you can read. Turn it off and everything stays on the one device.

  • The one exception

    Sketchy sends your description or chosen photo to an image service to draw the page. Its privacy page says exactly what goes where.

What we stand for

Four promises we keep

  • Never a subscription

    Pay once, or top up as you go. No rentals and no “premium weekly” tricks.

  • No ads, no tracking

    We do not sell data, show ads or follow you around. What you make is yours alone.

  • Native and light

    Built for each Apple platform, so the apps are fast, small and feel at home.

  • Finished properly

    One app at a time, with every corner considered, and answers from a real person.
