Three apps. One studio. Built with care.

Behind the footage

Recorded from installed builds in iPhone Simulator. RealLUT shows Golden Hour and the original / graded comparison. RockVault AR shows the built-in sample workflow and an unverified Amethyst result; the scan wait is shortened. FogTrail shows a simulated walk and its Discovered state. Place imagery is illustrative artwork. All app screens are real.

03 / The studio

Independent by choice.

Considered.
From the idea
to the everyday.

Good tools make room for the things that matter.

We’re an independent studio making iPhone apps for creative moments, everyday curiosity, and the simple pleasure of getting outside.

Different ideas, held to the same standard: a clear purpose, thoughtful details, and respect for the person using them.

01

Purpose before noise.

A focused idea. A useful place in your day.

02

Care in the details.

From the first tap to the final result.

03

Privacy, considered.

Clear choices. App-specific privacy policies.
