Native on both platforms
Built properly for iOS and for Android, so each one feels like it belongs on the phone rather than a website in a costume.
iOS & Android
Apps we'd want on our own phones.
Meina Tech is a small studio making its own mobile apps. No ads, no dark patterns, no notifications begging you to come back. Just careful software that does its job and gets out of the way.
What every Meina app has
Three promises, kept.
These aren't features we bolt on at the end. They're the reason we started building our own apps in the first place.
Quiet by design
No ads. No streaks. No red badges invented to pull you back. The app opens, you do the thing, you put the phone down.
Private by default
Your data stays on your device wherever it possibly can. No tracking pixels, no analytics quietly sold on to strangers.
How we build
Slowly, then all at once.
01
Start with an itch
Every app begins as something that annoyed us. If we wouldn't want it on our own home screen, we don't build it.
02
Cut it in half
Then cut it again. The first version does one thing well rather than six things adequately.
03
Live with it
We use each app daily for weeks before anyone else sees it. Bugs are easy to spot when it's your own morning they ruin.
04
Keep it alive
Shipping is the middle, not the end. Our apps get maintained for as long as people rely on them.
Why we do it this way
Nobody's phone needs more noise.
Most apps are built to take something from you — your attention, your data, a monthly fee you forgot you were paying. We wanted to find out what's left once you strip all of that out.
Quite a lot, it turns out. Software that starts fast, respects the battery, works on a plane, and doesn't demand an account before it will do anything useful.

Our first apps are on the way.
We're heads-down building. If you'd like to hear when something lands — or you have an idea you wish existed — tell us.
