AppyVibes
An app studio by Tech Generation, building software since 2014
We design and build apps worth keeping on your home screen. Fast, private, and made with obvious care.
The studio
We’ve been building software since 2014. Most of what we make is for other people: their idea, their business, their name on the app. A few, like Ounce, are our own.
Written for the device it runs on, so it opens instantly and feels like it belongs there.
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Android. One idea, wherever your people are.
We agree what we’re building and what it costs before anyone writes a line of code.
Apps need looking after. We’re still here after launch, keeping yours working.
Why ours feel different
It’s the cheap way to make one, and you can feel it. They stutter when you scroll. They pause before they wake up. Tapping something takes a beat too long. They never quite behave like the other apps on your phone, and people can tell, even when they can’t say why.
We don’t build those. We write your app in the language the device itself speaks, so it talks straight to the hardware instead of through a translator sitting in the middle.
In plain terms: it feels like a real app, because it is one.
How we work
You don’t need to know what you want in technical terms. That’s our job. Here’s how it actually goes.
Tell us what you want to happen and who it’s for. We’ll ask a lot of questions, tell you honestly which parts are worth building first, and which can wait. You leave knowing the scope, the timeline and the price.
We design every screen and put them together into something you can tap through on your own phone. Changing your mind here costs nothing, which is exactly why we do it here.
Work happens in short stretches with something to show at the end of each one. You get a version to try as we go, so nothing is a surprise and you can steer while it still costs nothing to steer.
App Store and Google Play review are their own kind of paperwork. We handle the submission, the rejections if they come, and the resubmission. Your app goes live under your own developer account, owned by you.
Phones get new operating systems every year and apps break if nobody is watching. We keep yours working, fix what needs fixing, and build the next thing when you’re ready.
What we’re actually aiming for
Not apps people tolerate because they have to. There’s a difference between an app somebody downloads and an app somebody opens again on Tuesday, and everything we do is pointed at the second one.
People can’t usually tell you why they prefer one app to another. They just keep using it. That’s the whole job.
Our apps
Video compressor for Mac
Smaller videos, using the video engine already in your Mac. It measures your file first, then only shrinks what can actually get smaller. Nothing is uploaded: Ounce has no network permission at all.
A widget that keeps its eye on the market so you don’t have to
The price, at a glance, everywhere you already look. One tap for the full picture, no app to open, no doomscrolling required.
We’re a small studio and we take on work we believe in. Tell us what you’re thinking.
