§ The studio · est. small
Stellandra is an independent studio. We build the tools we want on our own phones — each one does one job, properly. No dark patterns, no guilt mechanics, no data sold. The tool does its work, then gives you your time back.

It reports 550 — and prints the 413–688 range that number came from. Right panel, unretouched.

§ 01½ · The shelf
No app factory here. Each of these exists because a small, real problem annoyed us enough to fix it properly.

413Every number above is transcribed from the screenshots beside it — nothing here is written by us. The bar is the range the app gave; the dot is the single number it was willing to commit to. The last row has no bar because the app said it did not know.

We ship when a thing is genuinely good, not when a roadmap says so. Peek at any card to see what it actually does.
§ The proofs · not for sale
These are proofs from our workshop, each marked with how far it has got. None of them has a release date. They are here so we find out which ones people want.
It counts your Schengen days, and your days against a limit you set, like 183.
It keeps a log of which country you were in, day by day: from your location once you turn recording on, and from photos you pick for the months before. Each day shows what it was based on, and you can change it. A day it can’t place stays marked unknown, and the count becomes a range instead of a guess.
It has you say one thing twice — say, to your landlord, then to your roommate — and shows you both side by side.
Each day there is one situation, like rent that will be late or a bill with a number you didn't expect. You tell it first to someone like your landlord or a billing office, then to someone like your roommate or a friend. When both are done, your two versions sit next to each other, in your own words.
Saying you would use one of these commits you to nothing.
§ 01 · The playground
The apps are still in the oven, but the workshop is open: free calculators, honest food data, and guides with zero email walls. Go on, poke around.
All free, all no-account. The only thing we'll ever ask for is an email — and only if you want the launch news.
Each app has a single job and a clear edge. We would rather ship a small thing that is genuinely good than a bloated thing that is merely fine.
No fake urgency, no buried unsubscribe, no guilt notifications. The cancel button is exactly where you expect it. We win only if the app is worth keeping.
We collect the minimum to make the app work, we never sell it, and we tell you plainly what we keep. Private by default, on-device where we can.
We are small enough that a real person reads your email — usually the person who wrote the code. No ticket queue, no bot wall.
§ 02 · What we believe
There's no growth team here optimizing for your screen time. We build things we want on our own phones, put a price on them, and get back to work.
Say hello§ 02½ · Build with us
No growth team also means no committee between you and the person writing the code. Tell us what the app should do — the best ideas get built, and paid for.
Describe the feature you want — in any of our apps. Specific beats polite; detail raises your odds.
If we ship it, you earn 100 credits, tied to your email. Good ideas are work, and work gets paid.
Once the app is live, credits redeem for Pro subscription time — more ways to spend them later.
A human reads every submission. What gets built is our call — but every idea gets read.
§ 03 · Follow along
Every app has its own page — poke around, leave your email if you like what you see. We only write when there's something real to ship: no drip campaigns, no "just checking in."
