About Last Light Labs
An indie iOS development studio building privacy-first applications that solve real problems.
Our Story
Last Light Labs was born from a simple frustration: too many apps want your data, your attention, and your money without giving much back. We believed there had to be a better way.
As someone who's been on GLP-1 medications for years, I couldn't find a tracker that respected my privacy while offering the features I needed. As a bank bonus enthusiast, I was tired of spreadsheets and wanted something secure. As a language learner, I wanted beautiful tools that didn't spy on my study habits.
So I built them myself.
Every app at Last Light Labs starts the same way: a personal need that existing solutions couldn't meet. That's why our apps feel different—they're built by users, for users. We use these apps daily, and we hold them to the same standards we expect from the software we love.
Our Principles
These aren't just marketing buzzwords—they're the foundation of every decision we make.
Privacy by Default
We don't collect what we don't need. Your personal data stays on your device, not our servers. When cloud sync is available, it's always optional and encrypted.
Solve Real Problems
Every app we build addresses a genuine frustration we've experienced. We don't chase trends—we build tools that matter.
Thoughtful Design
We believe software should be a joy to use. We sweat the details because we use these apps every day ourselves.
User-Focused
No dark patterns, no manipulative notifications, no premium gates on essential features. We respect your time and attention.
Proudly Indie
Last Light Labs is a solo indie development studio. There's no VC funding, no growth metrics to hit, no pressure to monetize your data.
This means we can focus on what matters: building great software that respects you. Our success is measured by happy users, not daily active users or engagement metrics.
