A studio with a long view.
Apps, illustrated print, music and writing. Projects are chosen for substance, not for speed to market. What is built here starts slowly and stays in the market for a long time.
Four principles that carry every decision.
Privacy by design, not by disclaimer.
Data stays where it belongs. Architecture decides, not the fine print.
Local-first, where clinically possible.
Cloud sync is a convenience feature, not a default. What is never synced cannot be lost in the sense that matters.
Regulatory honesty.
What an app does and does not do is stated plainly. CE pathways are followed, not circumvented.
Long view.
Substance over launch velocity. Fewer projects, made more carefully.
Four dates that still carry the studio.

The oldest brand in the house. Today it carries the AI Act Platform and the BFSG accessibility check for SMEs subject to EU Regulation 2024/1689 and the German Accessibility Strengthening Act. RDG-conform, hosting in Frankfurt, open source for verification. A tool, not a law firm.

Personal Budget advisory
Supporting people with disabilities into self-determined lives in their own homes. Application support, target agreements, assistant recruitment and payroll in the German employer model. The studio's oldest field of practice.
