About the studio
A small studio building software that actually ships.
StormGlass Interactive designs and builds polished software for startups and small businesses — mobile apps, AI-powered tools, and enterprise platforms. We're known for finishing what we start and shipping things that look and feel considered.
Why we exist.
The reason StormGlass exists, written down so we don't forget it.
Most software is forgettable. Most apps exist. The studios that produce them aren't short on skill — they're short on conviction. StormGlass Interactive was built on a simple premise: it is still possible, even now, to build software that feels considered at every seam.
We're a small team that has spent years watching well-funded apps ship flat default experiences while ad-supported clones race to the bottom on quality. We were tired of it. So we started making the alternative.
Our work has shipped across very different industries — LexForge, a daily word-puzzle game built natively for Android, with synthesised audio so the APK stays tiny; SpendLens, a privacy-first receipt scanner that uses AI to extract line items without ever connecting to your bank; and WorkOrder Pro, a CMMS platform for biomedical engineering teams that replaces the spreadsheet-and-paper systems most hospitals still run on.
What ties them together is a refusal to ship the generic version. Every project gets the same careful thinking — whether it lives in a browser tab, on a phone, or on the wall of a hospital biomed shop. We treat design and engineering as one discipline, ship something working every week, and reply to inquiries within two business days.
If that sounds like the kind of partner you want, we should talk.
How we think.
Five principles we lean on when making decisions. They aren't slogans — they're tested working rules that show up in the code we ship.
Ship weekly, not at the end
Real software in your hands every Friday. No surprise reveals at month three. You always know what's done, what's next, and what's stuck — because you can run it.
Privacy by default
Data stays on the device whenever possible. No bank linking when receipts work. No accounts when offline play works. We collect what's needed and nothing more — not because the law says so, but because it's the right call.
Ad-free, by conviction
We don't ship apps that interrupt their users to sell their attention. Pro subscriptions, paid features, and direct value exchanges — not banner ads, interstitials, or "watch a video for a hint."
Native where it matters
Cross-platform is fine for marketing sites and dashboards. But a daily-use app deserves Jetpack Compose, SwiftUI, or proper desktop UI — the platform's own language, not a webview pretending.
Small footprint, full feature set
LexForge has zero MP3 files because we synthesise the audio. SpendLens has no server because the database lives on your phone. Smaller, faster, and more respectful of your device — without cutting features.

What we build.
We focus on three disciplines and go deep on each. Below are the kinds of work we take on and the technologies we typically use.
Mobile apps
Native Android development with Jetpack Compose and Kotlin. iOS where the project calls for it. Cross-platform via React Native or Flutter when the surface area justifies it.
- Android · Jetpack Compose · Kotlin
- iOS · SwiftUI · Swift
- React Native · Flutter
- Google Play & App Store launches
- In-app billing & subscriptions
- Offline-first architecture
AI-powered tools
Apps that use modern AI (vision, text, structured extraction) to do something useful, fast, and cheaply. Built around the Anthropic Claude API or comparable providers.
- Claude API integration
- Vision & document understanding
- Structured-data extraction
- On-device caching & sync
- Cost-aware prompt engineering
Desktop & web platforms
CMMS, operational dashboards, internal tools, and enterprise web apps. Cross-surface products that work on a desktop, a tablet, and a wall display from the same data layer.
- Web apps · React / Next.js
- Windows desktop · cross-platform
- Real-time dashboards & wall displays
- QR & barcode field workflows
- Compliance reporting (Joint Commission, audit trails)
Marketing sites & brand
Sites for products that want to feel like real products — fast, considered, and free of template smell. Built for performance and search.
- Custom design & visual identity
- Next.js · Astro · static sites
- Webflow & Shopify when right
- Strong technical SEO
- App Store / Play Store landing pages
