A small app studio in St. Petersburg, Florida

We make apps people actually keep

Mobile and web apps for everyday life, learning and entertainment. The kind you open because you want to, not because something buzzed at you.

The whole thing
After launch
We're still here

Lifestyle

Plans, recipes, trips and the lists people keep.

Education

Lessons short enough to finish, good enough to repeat.

Entertainment

Ten free minutes, already playing.

What we make

Three things we're good at

We keep our range narrow on purpose. Working in the same three areas year after year means we've already made most of the mistakes, so your project doesn't have to pay for them.

01

Lifestyle

Apps for the ordinary stuff: plans, routines, recipes, trips, the lists people keep. We try to make them quiet and easy, so they fit into someone's day instead of nagging at it.

  • Plans, lists and gentle reminders
  • Collections worth coming back to
  • Content that follows the user's day
02

Education

Learning apps people stick with. Short lessons, honest progress, and practice that makes tomorrow feel worth showing up for. Nobody learns much from a guilt trip.

  • Lessons and courses that flow
  • Practice, quizzes, spaced review
  • Progress you can actually feel
03

Entertainment

Someone sits down with ten free minutes. By then it should already be playing. That's the whole brief: fast, simple, and out of the way.

  • Playback that just works, offline too
  • Browsing that doesn't turn into a chore
  • Interfaces that stay out of the way

How we work

What working with us looks like

Four stages, and the same people all the way through. Nothing disappears into a black box between them.

  1. 01

    We talk

    Who is this for, and what does it really have to do on day one? Plenty of good ideas get parked for version two. That's usually the right call.

  2. 02

    We design

    Flows before pixels. You'll be clicking through real screens well before we write a line of production code.

  3. 03

    We build

    Short cycles, with something you can open at the end of each one. You'll never have to ask how it's going.

  4. 04

    We stay

    We handle the store submission, watch the first week closely, then keep fixing and improving. Honestly, most of the work starts after release.

Who we are

A small team, and you'll know all of us

EL Only Apps LLC is a product studio in St. Petersburg, Florida. We take on a handful of projects at a time, which is the only way we know to stay genuinely involved in each one.

Research, design, development, release, and the unglamorous support that follows all happen in-house. No handing your project down a chain, and nobody to point at when something breaks.

We like building things we'd use ourselves, and we'll tell you when we think an idea needs rethinking. Usually over email, usually the same week.

  • The same people from first call to store release
  • Clear design, nothing added just for decoration
  • Still around after launch day
  • You talk to the people building your app

Say hello

So, what are you thinking about?

An early idea, a rough spec, or an app that deserves a second life. Write to us and you'll hear back from the people who would actually build it. No sales desk, no forms to fill in.

We read every message ourselves.
