A small studio that ships things it would actually use.

AppStudioHQ started in 2026 with a simple rule: only build an app if it solves a problem we have ourselves. Traveler came from a group trip that lived across four apps and a spreadsheet. Food Scope came from one too many paid-placement restaurant lists.

Every app follows the same principles — fast, focused, honest. No ads. No engagement tricks. No selling data. If an app can't sustain itself on those terms, we don't ship it.

The catalog will grow — the standards won't move.
