The studio

Most apps want your attention, your data and a subscription. We'd rather earn a spot on your home screen with small apps that do one job well, keep what you track on your phone and never lock the basics.

Bee The One Labs is an independent studio. Every app starts with one question: would we be happy to use this every day? If the answer needs a paywall, a pop-up or an account, we go back to the drawing board.

How we build

Four
promises.

Every app from the studio keeps these, from the first version to the last.

01

Private by default

What you track stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking of your habit data.

02

The basics stay free

The core of every app is free, forever. Pro adds extras for people who want them and want to support the studio.

03

Calm, not compulsive

No fake urgency, no guilt trips, no dark patterns. Apps that help, then get out of your way.

04

Small and well made

Fast, offline and light on battery, and designed with care, down to the check-off animation.
