How we build

A few rules we apply to every app, so you know what to expect.

Open and use

No account, no login, no sign-up wall. Install it and it works.

Light on data

Your settings and progress stay on your device. What little the app sends is spelled out in its privacy policy.

Small and offline

Small downloads that run smoothly on older phones, and work without a connection wherever possible.

Free, with a clear choice

Apps are free and funded by ads. In the EU, UK and Switzerland you decide what is personalised.
