Independent product studio

Apps, shipped as products.

Coda Tempo designs small tools and releases them fully formed — not as side projects, not as services. Four apps. Each one meant to be finished.

Products

Four apps. Each one complete.

We don’t pitch retainers. We design, build, and publish tools people can download and use. Dummy lineup — placeholders you can replace with live store listings.

Finance

Meter

See where the money went — without a spreadsheet. Categories, a monthly cap, and tabular figures that stay still while you scroll.

See how we build
Writing

Draft

A writing app that cares about the last paragraph, not the archive. One sitting, one document, a word count that doesn’t nag.

See how we build
Habits

North

Habits that stay quiet until they matter. Streaks without badges, noise, or a feed competing for the morning.

Time

Shift

A calendar that protects the hours you actually work. Focus blocks first; meetings fill the gaps, not the other way around.

Approach

Look at the product, not a slide.

Every explanation sits next to the interface it describes. If it isn’t in the app, it doesn’t belong on the page.

Build

Small enough to hold in one sitting.

We cut scope until the app has a single job. Meter tracks spend. Draft finishes pages. North keeps streaks. Shift defends focus. No suites, no settings graveyards.

Rhythm

Quiet streaks. No badges.

North records whether you did the thing. That’s the whole interface: a name, seven marks, a weekly count. Motivation stays off-screen.

Focus

Meetings fill the gaps.

Shift draws focus blocks first in navy, then lets the rest of the week negotiate around them. The calendar is a product of what you protect, not what you accept.

How we ship

Research, build, release, stay.

A warm pause in the indigo-and-white rhythm. The studio treats support as part of the product, not a mailbox we ignore after launch.

01

Research

One job, named in a sentence. If we can’t say it, we don’t start.

02

Build

Interface first. Numbers use tabular figures. Copy stays thin.

03

Release

A store listing, a privacy page, an email that a person reads.

04

Support

Fixes ship. Features wait. The app stays small on purpose.

Inside the apps

A dashboard that behaves like the product.

Session counts, spend, and words written sit in the same chrome. Dummy data — the layout is the argument.

Privacy

Coda Tempo publishes apps as finished products. This page is a working privacy notice for the marketing site and for dummy store listings.

The site itself does not set analytics cookies and does not store form submissions on a server. If you use the contact form, your name, email, and message are passed to your own mail client and sent to codatempoo@gmail.com.

When live apps are listed, each product will describe the data it collects, why, and how to request deletion. Until then, questions go to the same address.
