Independent app makers
Stargyle Apps is a small team of designers and mobile engineers. We identify everyday problems everyone needs help with, then design the app to help without overwhelming you. Use it when you need it, then put it away until next time.
Our apps
Home maintenance that runs quietly in the background, parenting affirmations for the hard minutes, and a to-do list you only open twice a day. No ads, no subscriptions, no catch.
Home Maintenance Tracker
Log the maintenance you actually do — smoke detector batteries, air filters, gutter cleans — then set how long until each one is due again. Home Cycle keeps a quiet running record so nothing slips until it's already a problem.

Parenting Affirmations
Simple grounding affirmations for parents, a little space to journal, and small micro-resets for the hard moments. Mindful Mess is built for the three minutes between the meltdown and the next thing.

Low-Screen-Time To-Do List
A to-do list that follows our low-screen-time philosophy. Open it in the morning for a simple affirmation and your top three tasks for the day. Come back at night, check off what you finished, set tomorrow's three, and journal a little if you want. No long task histories, no gamification, no constant notifications, no guilt when life happens and a task slips.

No investors, no growth-hacking, no roadmap written by a committee. Just four principles that have guided every app we've shipped.
Every Stargyle app begins as something we needed ourselves — a home where the smoke alarm always seems to beep at 3am, a parenting day that needs a reset between the meltdown and the next thing, a to-do list that pulls you in for two minutes morning and night instead of all day. If it doesn't solve a daily problem for the team, it doesn't get built.
We deliberately keep our apps small. One job, done beautifully. No feature bloat, no engagement traps — just a tool that earns its place on your home screen.
No streak-shaming, no red badges screaming for attention, no manipulative notifications. Our apps work when you open them and leave you alone when you don't.
We ship updates every month and answer every support email ourselves. Indie means the people who built the app are the ones who hear from you.
About
Stargyle Apps is a handful of designers and engineers making software we use ourselves every day. We don't take client work — every hour goes into our own apps, which means they get polished long after launch day.
We only make lifestyle and productivity apps, because depth beats breadth. The first three — Home Cycle, Mindful Mess, and Gentle Grind — come from problems we hit in our own homes and our own days. Everything we learn from them goes into the next one.
