The small print

A studio that ships — at a human pace.

We don't chase hockey-stick growth. We make apps we want to keep on our own phones, and we try to earn a place on yours.

What we believe

Small apps,
carefully made.

Three rules quietly shape every product that leaves the studio.

Human-first craft

Every pixel is chosen, every copy line is re-read, every haptic is tuned. We design for humans — not engagement graphs.

01

Playfulness with privacy

No third-party trackers. No dark patterns. Our kids' app has no ads, ever. We sell apps, not attention.

02

Ship small, love forever

We prefer tiny, complete apps over endless backlogs. And we keep them polished for years — our oldest app still gets love every sprint.

03

How we work

From spark to shipped, in five honest steps.

Every project follows the same tiny playbook — it's how we keep shipping things we're proud of.

  1. 1

    Spark

    A question, a frustration, a daydream. We collect hundreds.

  2. 2

    Prototype

    A rough build in two weeks. We'd rather feel it than describe it.

  3. 3

    Playtest

    Real families. Real commutes. Real pockets. We watch, we listen.

  4. 4

    Polish

    Micro-animations, sound, copy, accessibility. The last 10% is 90%.

  5. 5

    Ship

    Then keep shipping — weekly tunes, seasonal themes, a decade of love.

"TiX apps feel like handwritten letters in a world of group chats. You can tell a human put them together — and another human checked, twice."

About the studio

Seven people. Two timezones. One shared sketchbook.

We met over a beach bonfire in 2019 and somehow never went back to our day jobs. Today TiX is designers, engineers, illustrators, and one very opinionated sound designer, split across Tallinn and Barcelona.

We're independent, profitable, and in no particular hurry. That's by design.
