We make apps so good, they're bad.

What We Do

Bad Apps builds specialized software tools for niche professional use cases. We focus on the problems that big software ignores — the ones that matter most to the people doing the actual work. If it's unglamorous, overlooked, and genuinely hard, we're probably already building it.

What We've Built
