Small, careful utility apps.

Small tools that get out of the way.

Backfin Labs builds focused utility apps for iOS and Android. One job each, done carefully, with no account to create and nothing collected that we don't need.

How we work

Every app we ship follows the same three rules. It should be useful the first time you open it, without a tour or a questionnaire. It should keep your data on your device unless there is a concrete reason it can't. And it should be small enough that one person can hold the whole thing in their head — which is the only way a two-person studio keeps software working for years rather than months.

If something we've built isn't working for you, tell us. A real person reads it.
