A small studio in the north woods of the internet.
Northland Studios is the parent brand for a solo iOS app practice. One person, many small apps — games, utilities, niche and weird stuff. Each app stands on its own; the studio is the shared signage around them.
We build small, carefully made iOS apps for people who want their phone to feel made by a person, not a committee. One person. Many small apps. Open year-round.
- Small things, made well. Each app does one thing, carefully. We don't chase scope; we chase craft.
- Shipping year-round. Publishing apps quarterly, not in launch-spike bursts. We'll still be here next year.
- The studio is the asset. No single app has to be a hit because the studio is the product. The brand is the long-lived thing.
- Made by hand. Soft topographic backdrop, mono labels, italic-serif voice — every artifact reads as made by a person.
- Family-friendly, ad-free. No microtransactions, no telemetry beyond what the OS gives us. We don't read your messages. We don't sell anything but the apps themselves.
One person makes the apps. The signage all matches. The apps do not.
New apps ship when there's something real to show. Older ones stay supported — we don't sunset what people are using, and we don't ghost a release after the launch week.
Northland Studios is a solo, family-driven shop — a one-person studio and sole proprietor, working from a place that feels like the north woods of the internet. Press kit and contact links below.
