Meet the Team

A small group of people who care way too much about the details.

Robert Lord

Robert

Founder & iOS Engineer

Former Google engineer who left to build weirder things. Bo learned Swift when it was still in beta and has strong opinions about Auto Layout. Believes every app should feel like magic, even if it's ugly magic.

Sam Okoye

Sam

Design

Trained as a graphic designer, converted to product design after getting frustrated with print deadlines. Sam thinks most apps are too polished and that a little chaos makes things more human. Obsessed with widgets.

Riley Martinez

Riley

Data & ML Engineer

PhD dropout who decided academic papers weren't as fun as shipping products. Riley builds the probabilistic models behind Uptown and thinks uncertainty is underrated.

How We Work

Ship small, ship often

We'd rather release something imperfect and iterate than wait for perfection. Our apps evolve with feedback, not from committee meetings.

No dark patterns

We don't do manipulative notifications, fake urgency, or gamified nonsense designed to steal your attention. If our apps are useful, you'll use them. If not, that's on us to make them better.

Weird is good

The App Store has enough generic productivity apps. We build things that are opinionated, unconventional, and sometimes polarizing. Not everyone will get it. That's okay.

New York energy

We're based in the Lower East Side because this neighborhood gets it—scrappy, creative, unpretentious. We take the same approach to building software.
