The studio

About Backfin Labs

We build small utility apps that do one thing and then get out of your way.

Backfin Labs is a small independent studio. We started it because the apps we wanted to use kept growing features we didn't want, asking for accounts we didn't need, and collecting data that had nothing to do with the job at hand.

So the rule we hold ourselves to is narrow: an app should be useful the first time you open it, it should keep your data on your device unless there's a concrete reason it can't, and it should stay small enough that one person can understand all of it. That last one isn't an aesthetic preference — it's how a tiny team keeps software working for years instead of quietly abandoning it.
