Lock Beam: your Lock Screen, made by your people
Lock Beam is a little social app that lives on your Lock Screen. Your partner sends "back by 8 ♥", your best friend doodles on your screen, your group shares one Lock Screen for the weekend, and it's all there the next time you pick up your phone. It's with App Store review now.

We moved a real client's books into AGL Nova, and every year-end matched to the cent
Taking on a new client usually means hours of sorting before any accounting starts. We want that first day in AGL Nova to feel like setting up a new iPhone, without giving up anything an accountant needs. This week a real client's books came across from WinBiz, and every year-end matched the accountant's own figures to the cent.
Equal to the cent
never a guess, always a question
We used LiDAR to create immersive visuals for a meditation app
You hold up your phone, breathe out, and colour spreads across the walls of the room you're sitting in. Breathe in and it pulls back. It's a new part of Fluid, the meditation app we've made since 2018, and it uses the iPhone's depth sensor to keep the colour on your real walls.
in for 4, out for 6
We built a scanner in a day, then fed it a pile of paper
Scano never takes a photo. Sweep the phone over pages on a table and it pulls each one from the best frame of a live video stream, offline, with nothing lost. The same day, AGL Nova mapped the pile it produced: every invoice, QR-bill and statement found, sorted and ready for the books.
sweep, don't shoot
ho ho hold on, he's calling
Santa picks up, and the elves take notes
How do you really test real-time voice? Nine weeks after OpenAI opened it to developers, we put it in front of the toughest callers there are, children calling Santa. Every wish lands on a list for their parents, and the same voice work now points at support calls.

We built a whiteboard where the AI writes back in handwriting
You write a maths problem by hand and double-tap it, and the AI works it out beside yours, stroke by stroke, like someone holding a second pen. Your student watches it happen live from a link.

Point at it, find more of it
Tap the moon in a picture and get more moons. A visual discovery system that searches a whole image library on the phone, with no server and no cost per search.

Ask anything you said
Smart Voice has transcribed and searched recordings offline since 2019. The rebuild adds notes that cite the exact lines, answers across all your recordings, and audio you edit by editing the words. Still, nothing leaves the phone.

Smart Voice, take two
From a snapshot to a studio shot
Studioly turns a quick product photo into on-brand creative, with models, sets and captions that keep the same look from post to post. No shoot, no studio, from an iPhone.

one tap, no photoshoot
Your shade, measured, not guessed
A 30-second face scan maps skin in 3D, and computer vision matches it against 10,000+ shades from 1,000+ brands. Paste a creator's video and every product in it is checked against your face.
97% in testing
and it has held through testing
Nothing here yet.
The notebook only goes back to this year. Before it there are more than 40 apps on the App Store, going back to 2015, and the custom work we can't show, which is often our best.
Projects, press or anything else.
