Independent studio

Small apps and games, one honest idea each.

Made to be warm, quick and yours. What can run on your device does, and each one is straight with you about what a phone can and cannot really do.

What we make
01

What we make

Scalo app icon

Scalo

Sing to play.

A game you play with your voice. Six short challenges work out what kind of singer you are, then six worlds train your ear and your range: hit the note, follow the melody, hold it, sing on the beat. Every level is set to your own range, so a bass and a soprano both play it where their voice sits comfortably.

Help us test it
Earvane app icon

Earvane

Catch real sounds.

An outdoor hunt for sounds. Pick a target, walk, listen, and press catch when you hear it. The field lab in your pocket keeps the last twenty seconds, recognises what it just heard, and fills a page in your field guide.

In testing, not out yet
More in the works

What you need

Scalo

  • Android 7.0 or newer. No iPhone version yet.
  • A microphone. The one in your phone is fine; a headset works too.
  • About 34 MB to download, and a quiet-ish room.
  • No account. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to remember.
  • Free. Ads are always a choice and show the reward first; one purchase turns them off for good.
  • An internet connection for ads, the purchase and the update check at launch. The singing itself works offline.

Earvane

  • An Android phone with a microphone, and somewhere to walk.
  • Notifications if you use auto catch, so you can see it listening.
  • Recognising happens on your phone. Nothing you record is uploaded.
  • No account, and no sign-up.
  • Room for the catches you keep, which you can back up or wipe yourself.

Audio Launch is a bigger piece of software with its own requirements; those live on audio-launch.com.

Your data stays on your phone

Scalo

Scalo listens live while you sing. It records nothing, keeps no audio and uploads nothing. Your results and history sit on your device.

It shows ads through Google AdMob, so in Europe you are asked first whether that may be personalised, and you can change that choice later from the home screen. The one-time purchase runs through Google Play; we never see your payment details. At launch the app also asks our update service whether a newer version exists.

Earvane

Recordings are made on your phone and stay there: recognising a sound happens on the device, and nothing you record is uploaded. There is no account.

Your location, if you use the finder, never leaves the device. Speech is never kept. You choose what to back up, and you can wipe everything yourself. The app does use the network for ads and for Google Play services.

Earvane is not released yet; it gets its own policy with its store listing.

Play it before it is finished

Scalo is in a closed test while Google reviews it. You can play the real thing now and tell us where it feels off, which is worth more to us than a five-star review later. Singers especially: we want to know whether the scoring matches what you actually sang.
