Shoshkes Labs

Independent app studio

Small apps for unique needs.

Shoshkes Labs builds focused tools for problems too specific for big software. Each one does one job well, respects your privacy, and keeps your data yours.

The apps

One need, one app.

We call each app a specimen: a small, focused experiment aimed at one real problem. Here is what is on the bench right now.

How we build

Apps that keep your business yours.

Every specimen follows the same rules, whatever problem it solves.

  • Small on purpose

    Each app solves one specific problem. No bloat, no feature creep, no everything-platform.

  • Your data stays yours

    Wherever possible, your information lives on your device. We cannot lose, sell, or leak what we never hold.

  • Offline-first

    Tools should work in a basement grocery store or on a plane. The network is a bonus, not a requirement.

  • No accounts by default

    If an app does not need to know who you are, it does not ask. No sign-up walls, no email harvesting.

  • Honest about money

    No ads, no dark patterns. When an app earns money, we say exactly how, right where it happens.

  • Built from real needs

    Our apps start as problems we or people we know actually have. Then we test them with real users before release.
