One clear job.
We start narrow enough that the app can explain itself in a sentence.
upmoat
We make native iPhone apps that feel like products, not templates — focused utility underneath, a distinct world on top.

StepIsland

THE UPMOAT RULE
Shared engineering.
Never shared personality.
Infrastructure should compound. Interfaces should not.
Native by default.
Use the iPhone features that make the product feel closer, quicker and more useful.
A world of its own.
Every product earns its own visual language instead of inheriting a studio template.
