Independent app studio
We build simple, well made apps people actually enjoy using.
Calvera Labs designs, builds and ships a small number of learning, productivity and utility apps for iOS and Android, then keeps maintaining them. No ads in them, no trackers in them, and no roadmap written by someone else.

The portfolioWhat we build
Five apps, each solving one problem properly instead of ten problems badly.
A puppy that grows when your child does. A learning app for children aged 6 to 8, built around a puppy that grows from practice actually finished.
Timers and tasks in one loop. A focus timer welded to a task list.
Notes that stay yours. Encrypted note-taking with the key on your device.
One day at a time. A daily planner that shows today and nothing else.
Uptime in your pocket. Endpoint monitoring for people who are not at a desk.
Client work
We build products for other people too.
Same team, same standards, your product. Calvera Labs takes on a small number of client projects at a time and builds them the way we build our own, designed, developed and launched end to end.
- App development iOS and Android, designed, built and published to both stores.
- Website development Marketing sites, landing pages and web apps, maintained after launch.
- AI development Assistants, retrieval over your own content, and model integration that ships.
- Digital marketing SEO, app store optimization, analytics and the content around a launch.
Why Calvera Labs?
Five apps of our own are the argument. Everything below is how that gets applied to your project.
One point of contact, and they write the code
Every project runs with one person accountable for it, and that person is the one building it. Nothing gets relayed through an account manager who has never opened the repository.
Client work does not get a lower bar
Our own apps carry no trackers, no dark patterns and no features nobody asked for. The standards we hold them to are the standards your project inherits.
We stay after the launch
OS releases break things, SDKs get deprecated, and the first real users always find something. We keep maintaining what we ship instead of handing over a zip file.
The studio
Small on purpose.
Calvera Labs is an independent software studio based in Bangalore. It is deliberately small, self funded, and has no plans to become an agency.
Most apps are built for a roadmap. Ours are built for the person holding the phone, which mostly means saying no. No engagement loops, no notification spam, no account you did not ask for. An app should open fast, do its job, and get out of the way.
- Five appsIn active development for iOS and Android
- Cross platformEvery app targets both platforms, not iOS first
- Zero trackersIn our apps: no analytics SDKs, no ad identifiers, no data brokers
