Speed up any lecture video, skip silence, boost quiet audio and pick up where you left off.
an independent app studio
We make useful apps people keep.
Apphance is a small software studio. We sketch, build and run our own products, starting with StudyFox, an AI study app for students.

01
Sketch
Every app starts on paper. Boxes, arrows, a lot of crossing out. Sketches are cheap to change and easy to throw away, so we make plenty of them.
-
02
Build
The best sketch becomes a real app. Clean code, quick screens, and nothing on them that doesn't need to be there.
-
03
Ship
We put it in people's hands early. A rough edge that's live beats a perfect feature that isn't.

04
Listen
Feedback goes straight back into the sketchbook. Ideas, bugs, the occasional thank-you. Then we do it all again.

what we care about
Every app starts as a doodle on paper. If it doesn't make sense as a sketch, it won't make sense on a screen.
We ship small and often, then listen. The best ideas come from the people using the app.
Your work is yours. Where we can, it stays on your device, and our student tools don't need an account at all.
made for students everywhere ♥
