Kogasa Studio

Independent app studio · Switzerland

It’s pouring apps. We make a few good ones.

Kogasa (小傘) means small umbrella. Under it: a few apps for iPhone and Mac with no ads, no tracking and no clones, each one made with care and kept for the long run.

Find the colour

After the rain · 雨上がり

Less slop.
More colour.

The App Store is full of apps nobody cared about. We take the time others skip: our own drawings, careful words, the small details. Every app gets its own colour and its own seal.

御朱印帳 · goshuinchō

The stamp book

At Japanese temples, visitors collect a page of brush writing and a red seal. We keep a book like that for our apps. Each app earns a page, its own seal and the studio's mark when it ships.

壱 The opening page

Kogasa Studio

The first page of the book carries the studio’s own seal, 小傘. Founded in Switzerland in 2026, to make a few apps worth keeping and to look after them.

Left blank until the next app is ready. 未 means not yet: no seal until it has earned one.

心得 · kokoroe

How we work

Kokoroe are the things a craftsman keeps in mind. Ours are eight, each named after a Japanese saying.

適材適所

tekizai tekisho · the right material in the right place

Native, Apple only

We build only for Apple platforms, in Swift and SwiftUI. Each app uses what the system already does well, from widgets to iCloud, instead of imitating it.

思いやり

omoiyari · consideration for others

Inclusive

Every app supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion and clear contrast from the first release. If someone cannot use it, it is not finished.

秘すれば花

hisureba hana · what is kept hidden is the flower

Privacy first

No Google products, no analytics, no tracking and no ads in our apps. Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. We do not collect it, because we do not want it.

一期一会

ichigo ichie · one time, one meeting

Companions, not traps

Every moment happens only once. Our apps help with a task and then let you go: no streaks to guilt you, no endless feeds, no notifications begging for attention.

備えあれば憂いなし

sonae areba urei nashi · be prepared and there is nothing to fear

Offline first

Our apps work without a connection. The network is for syncing and updates, never for the basics.

足るを知る

taru o shiru · know what is enough

Only what matters

We add what makes an app better and leave out the rest. No bloat, no dark patterns, no feature built just to fill a list.

改善

kaizen · change for the better

Kept well

Shipping is the start. We keep every app up to date with each new system release and keep improving it, a little at a time.

画竜点睛

garyō tensei · painting in the dragon's eyes

The human touch

A painter's dragons came alive only when he added their eyes. AI helps us build the dragon; we paint the eyes ourselves, with our own drawings, careful words and the small details that make an app feel alive.
