An independent app studio · Scotland
Small apps that do one thing properly.
I’m Christopher, and kirigoe is where I make apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Each one is built around a single job. You pay once and keep it — no subscriptions, no ads, no accounts.
The apps
Made and supported by one person.

壱
Pay once
Try it free, then a single purchase unlocks the lot. If an app is on more than one device, one purchase covers them all.
弐
Yours stays yours
No accounts, no analytics, no advertising. Your recordings and your progress stay on your device, and each app’s privacy policy says exactly what leaves it.
参
A person, not a ticket queue
Every support email comes to me. If something’s wrong or missing, tell me — most updates start that way.
