About Us
Made with Care in Switzerland
KK Studio is a small, independent app studio based in Switzerland. There's no sprawling office, no investor deck, no growth team. Just a deep love for building things that are useful, beautiful, and respectful of the people who use them.
How it started
It began with a simple idea: build an app to help people learn Thai. That became Sawasdee — and the process of making it taught us something important. When you're small, you can afford to care about every detail. The spacing of a button. The timing of an animation. The exact shade of a color in dark mode. Nobody's rushing you to ship a half-baked feature for a quarterly metric.
That feeling stuck with us. So we kept going.
Many apps and counting
Today, KK Studio has more than eighty apps — each one built with the same philosophy. Sawasdee teaches Thai, and Grüezi, Allegra, Hangul Path and Michi followed it into other languages. More than sixty first-alphabet apps, starting with Baby Chicken, Little ABC and Kinder Apfel, help children meet their first letters. ID-Shield protects your identity documents. Calmara helps you relax and focus. Vaultly keeps your finances organized.
They're all different, but they share the same DNA: privacy-first, ad-free, thoughtfully designed, and built with each platform's own tools — Apple's frameworks on iPhone, iPad and Mac, Jetpack Compose on Android. No ad or analytics SDKs, no bloat.
Why indie matters
Being independent means we get to make decisions based on what's right for the people using our apps — not what's right for advertisers or shareholders. It means we can say "no" to things that don't feel right, even if they'd make more money.
No ads. No tracking. No selling your data. These aren't marketing slogans for us — they're the ground rules we started with and haven't budged on.
What's next
We're always working on something. Sometimes it's a brand new app, sometimes it's polishing an existing one until it shines a little brighter. We don't announce things until they're ready, because we'd rather surprise you with something good than promise something we haven't finished yet.
If you've made it this far, thank you for reading — and thank you for supporting indie apps. It means more than you know.
