Independent app studio

Built with
memory.
Made to play.

AR-CADE is a small studio making apps that help people hold onto what matters, tame digital clutter, and occasionally lose track of time in a very good way.

AR = Audrey + Rich. The rest is the fun part.
Current lineup

Different apps.
Same fingerprints.

Careful systems, tactile details, useful ideas, and just enough personality that software doesn't feel like filing taxes.

Studio rule

Build the thing people can understand. Protect what matters. Make the fiddly parts feel easier. Then give it enough character that opening the app feels a little bit good.
