Short description (50 words)

mk0.net is an independent iOS studio that builds small, focused, privacy-first apps in SwiftUI. The catalog spans 48 apps across health, productivity, business, and developer tools. Every app stores data locally or in the user's iCloud account, with no third-party tracking SDKs.

Long description (150 words)

Founded in 2024, mk0.net is an independent iOS studio with a simple thesis: small, focused apps still matter. The studio's 48-app catalog spans health and fitness, productivity, business, lifestyle, and developer tools. Each app is written in Swift and SwiftUI, stores data locally or in the user's iCloud account, and ships free of third-party advertising or behavioral tracking SDKs.

A shared SwiftUI template handles onboarding, theming, settings, paywalls, locale, and data export across every product, allowing the studio to ship a focused v1 in days rather than months. Every release is localized to up to 15 languages from launch, with per-locale App Store metadata. The studio also takes on a limited number of custom client engagements each year, typically for founders or small teams shipping their first iOS app.

Quotable lines

• "Small, focused apps still matter."
• "We build native iOS apps that respect your time, your data, and your attention."
• "Privacy by default, not by negotiation."
• "Half of our installs come from outside the United States. Localization is leverage, not garnish."
• "The shared template gets better as the catalog grows."
