Every app earns its keep. Focused iPhone apps, one at a time.

Derivative builds small, single-purpose apps and holds each to the same studio standard. Here's what's shipped, what's close, and what's still in the workshop.

The bar every app clears.

Before anything ships, it has to pass the studio standard. No exceptions, including ours.

01

Native Swift, no wrappers. Built for iPhone the way iPhone apps should be built.

02

One screen wherever possible. Every addition has to justify not being cut.

03

Fast to open, calm to use. No loading screens to stare at, nothing engineered to keep you staring.

04

A privacy policy you can read in a minute. Short because there's little to disclose.

05

A free tier you'd actually keep. Paying should unlock more, never un-break less.

Have an idea worth making small?

We read everything. The best apps often start as one good, narrow idea.
