Joyful apps,
built with care
and craft.
Plank by plank, like the shipwrights of old. Small apps for the things people love: a hand of bridge, a game of Mah Jongg, a puzzle a day, and the open road.

What makes an app joyful
The shipwright's code, kept in every app.
- Delight in the details.A good line, a small surprise, a reason to smile.
- Nothing in your way.No pop-ups, no nagging, no tricks to keep you hooked.
- A free way in.Every app is free to play. Extras are fair, and never a trap.
- Your privacy, by default.No tracking scripts, and your data is never sold. Anything paid for says so.
- Made by a person.Write, and a person reads it. What you tell us changes what we make.
- Small and finished.Each app does one thing you love, and does it well.
