Work

Small apps, shipped to real stores.

Four products I designed, built and published on my own under Adky Labs, my indie app studio. Each starts from a single problem and tries to solve it quietly: private by default, no dark patterns, no noise. See them on the App Store

Moniqa

Budgeting & personal finance

A minimalist budgeting app built around privacy, simplicity and habit formation.

Problem
Budgeting apps compete on features and notifications. Most people just need a calm way to see where money goes.
Approach
Offline, account-free, add an expense in five seconds. No streaks, no nagging.
Outcome
9,000+ organic App Store impressions shortly after launch.

FocusFlux

Ambient focus & deep work

A focus app centred on ambient soundscapes and distraction-free work sessions.

Problem
Productivity tools tend to add friction to the very work they claim to protect.
Approach
A deliberately small feature set: pick a soundscape, start a session, get out of the way.
Outcome
Shipped and live on the App Store.

Recupio

Daily mood & wellness

A private wellness companion: 30-second mood check-ins, journaling, gratitude and breathing.

Problem
Wellness apps pile on features and guilt-driven streaks, which is the opposite of what a stressed person needs.
Approach
Core habits only, forgiving streaks with weekend grace, all data on-device with no account.
Outcome
Live on the App Store with zero data collected, per Apple's privacy label.

TheStoicMonk

Meditation & Stoic philosophy

My first shipped app: guided audio sessions, journaling, Pomodoro and daily Stoic readings.

Problem
Mindfulness apps often feel corporate. I wanted something grounded in philosophy.
Approach
Customisable audio sessions alongside a journal and a daily Stoic passage.
Outcome
Published on Google Play.
