We make weird, wonderful iOS apps that solve problems you didn't know you had.
A habit tracker that grows with you. Track your daily routines with delightful homescreen widgets, visualize your streaks in a mood calendar, and watch your virtual garden bloom as you build better habits. No gamification gimmicks—just a beautiful, honest way to see your progress over time.
Finally, a NYC subway map where uptown is actually up. Rotated 17° for geographic accuracy, Uptown shows you the subway the way it really is. Plus, our probabilistic arrival model gives you confidence intervals instead of false precision—because sometimes 'arriving in 3-7 minutes' is more honest than 'arriving in 4 minutes.'
One note. That's it. Stop organizing, stop tagging, stop creating elaborate folder hierarchies. Just open Mono and write. Everything goes in one infinite note that you can search, scroll, and actually use. Sometimes the best system is no system at all.
Ugly Computer is a small, opinionated iOS development studio based in New York's Lower East Side. We believe the best apps are the ones that dare to be different—that challenge conventions and embrace their quirks. We're not interested in making another clone of something that already exists. We'd rather build something strange, specific, and genuinely useful.
Founded in 2025 by a team of designers and developers who got tired of overthinking everything, we focus on shipping creative, practical apps that people actually want to use. Our philosophy: perfect is boring. Interesting is better.
