Personal finance
BudgetSafe
Know what you can spend before payday.
A budgeting app built around your pay cycle instead of the calendar month. No bank login and no account. Everything you enter stays on your phone, encrypted.
Independent app studio
Useful apps that mind their own business.
CommonApps makes everyday tools for iPhone and Android. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. What you put into our apps stays on your phone.
The apps
Made for one job each, and to do it well.
Health & fitness
GoStrength
Strength training at home, for 40 and over.
Short guided workouts with clear animated demonstrations, written from UK health guidance and checked by a qualified professional. Your health and workout data stays on your phone.
How we work
Four rules every app keeps.
They’re written into each app’s build specification before any code, and checked by automated tests on every change.
Your data stays on your phone
Every app keeps what you put into it on your device, encrypted. When a feature has to go online, the privacy policy says exactly what is sent, where and why.
No accounts
You shouldn’t have to hand over an email address to keep a budget or follow a workout. None of our apps has a login, and there is no server of ours holding your data.
No ads, no analytics, no tracking
Our apps are paid for by optional subscriptions, not by attention or data. Nothing in them watches what you do. Crash reports exist only if you switch them on.
Plain words, readable screens
Large type, strong contrast, screen reader support and honest wording, tested at double text size. And they work offline, in flight mode or a basement gym.
