Built in house

Two apps we built ourselves.

Concept, design, code, store presence and operation: all ours. Both apps run on phone, tablet and television, in both ecosystems.

SLEEP & RELAXATION

Let the day become a little quieter.

What it is about

Fall asleep beneath living northern lights. Eight worlds in real time, sounds you mix yourself, and a gentle wake-up. Plus sleep tracking, a breathing exercise and noise, in 31 languages and without an account.

Northern lights only look real when they develop from the top downwards and never look the same twice. At the same time the app has to run just as calmly on a television as on a six-year-old phone.

How we built it

The scenes are computed in real time, not played back. Around them a sound mixer, a breathing exercise, an alarm and sleep tracking that needs no account. Two native builds for Apple and Android, plus the versions for Apple TV and Android TV.

What came out of it

  • Eight worlds, computed in real time
  • Sound mixer, breathing exercise, alarm and sleep tracking
  • In 31 languages, without an account and without advertising
  • iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android and Android TV

What it is about

Our homage to the landing games of the eighties: fire the thrusters, land gently, pick up passengers. 20 handbuilt levels, three taxis, no advertising and no subscription.

A feel from 1984 had to work properly again on present-day hardware: on touch, remote, keyboard and gamepad alike, and without the usual advertising and subscription machinery.

How we built it

Two native builds from one team: Swift with SpriteKit for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac, Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for Android and Android TV. Plus a store presence in 31 languages and a release pipeline of our own that builds and uploads both.

What came out of it

  • 20 handbuilt levels across six classes of device
  • Store presence in 31 languages
  • Shipped without advertising, subscriptions or tracking
  • An automated release pipeline for both platforms
