How we work

We build the apps we want to use.

Every product begins with a problem we have experienced ourselves. We build a solution, refine it, and make it useful to other people too.

01

A clear purpose

Every app begins with a problem we have encountered ourselves. We build the tool we wish existed and keep it focused on doing that job well.

02

Native and polished

We build exclusively with Apple's native frameworks, including SwiftUI, AppKit, and UIKit. This helps every app look and behave at home on its platform.

03

Private by design

We do not collect personal data or have access to the information you keep in our apps. It stays on your devices or in your private iCloud account.

04

Fair pricing

We prefer the old-fashioned way: pay once for a major version and keep it. We consider subscriptions only when they genuinely make sense for the product.

Our work

Different tools, the same attention to detail.

Three products that represent our history and the studio we are today.

SideNotes

Our flagship app keeps an always-available notepad at the side of the screen. Launched in 2019, SideNotes became the product that changed the direction of Apptorium.

Our story

One icon started a collaboration lasting over 20 years.

In 2004, Marcin organized an icon competition for a Linux calendar he was making for school students. Paweł won. That first icon led to more projects and, eventually, Apptorium.

Small by choice

A small team with a long history.

Marcin and Paweł first worked together in 2004. Today, they build Apptorium remotely from Zielona Góra and Poznań — Marcin creating and designing the products, Paweł shaping their visual character.
