Small apps,made carefully.

Oops Studio is a small studio in the Netherlands. We make iPhone apps we want to use ourselves, and we finish them properly before we ship them.

Get the apple pie. Not a slice at the end of a meal — go at eleven, order it as the meal, sit outside.

Sanne, who has never once been wrong

Agreed on the pie. The coffee is ordinary.

What we are building

Three screens of friendtips

The map, with only the good ones on it

Not every place in the city. The places someone you trust has already been to and would go back to.

The list you would have sent as a message

Eight places, typed out from memory, lost in a chat by Thursday. It lives here instead.

And the reason it is on the list

A recommendation without a reason is just a pin. The note is the part worth keeping.

The best recommendation is still one person telling another.

That is the idea in our mark, and it is the idea in everything we have built so far. Two people, and the part they share.

How we build

  • 01

    We use what we make

    Every app starts as something one of us wanted and could not find. We are the first users of it, and we stay the hardest ones to please.

  • 02

    Finished, then shipped

    We would rather ship one screen that feels right than five that nearly work. It makes us slow. We have made our peace with that.

  • 03

    We answer our own email

    There is no support desk and no ticket number. Write to us and the people who made the thing write back.

Talk to us

Ideas, bug reports, or a list of places in your city that deserves to be in an app. We read everything.
