Issue #1 · 19 apps on the App Store An independent app studio

Small apps that hand work to each other.

Each one does one job well on your iPhone or Mac, and keeps your stuff on your device. When you want, they pass things along: a photo, a gym set, a song.

Every app

Something for each part of the day.

Better together

One studio, one thread.

Every app works on its own. When you want, they pass things along: a set from the gym to your coach, a saved link to an idea, a film recap to a comic page. On your device, and only when you say so.

Our story

Made at one desk. Named after a small star.

Alcor is the faint star right beside Mizar, in the handle of the Big Dipper. You only see it if you look closely. That's the idea: small apps, easy to miss, that make each other better.

The same body and hand reading behind the apps, driving robots in 3D. Every one below runs on a Mac or the iPhone simulator today; none has met a real robot or a real iPhone yet.
