About Us
We build apps that
people actually love
Darkmaster's Pottery is an independent iOS development studio with a singular focus: creating applications that make a genuine difference in people's lives.
Our Story
Born from frustration with the status quo
We come from the world of enterprise software — building mission-critical systems for businesses where security, reliability, and performance aren't optional. Now we're bringing that same engineering rigor to consumer apps.
We started Darkmaster's Pottery because we were tired of apps that harvest data, bombard users with ads, and prioritize engagement metrics over genuine value. Every app in our portfolio exists to solve a real problem — whether it's helping someone manage their health, find moments of calm, or express heartfelt sentiments to loved ones.
We believe that great software should feel invisible — so intuitive and well-crafted that it simply works, allowing people to focus on what matters most to them.

What Sets Us Apart
The Darkmaster's Pottery difference
100% Native iOS
We don't do cross-platform compromises. Every app is built from the ground up using SwiftUI and the latest Apple frameworks, ensuring buttery-smooth performance, native feel, and deep system integration that users expect from premium iOS applications.
Privacy as Architecture
Privacy isn't a feature we add — it's the foundation we build on. We employ zero-knowledge architectures, on-device processing, and enterprise-grade encryption. We never sell data, never show ads, and never compromise user trust for profit.
Craft Over Speed
We take our time to get things right. Every animation is hand-tuned, every interaction is thoughtfully designed, and every edge case is considered. We ship when it's ready, not when the calendar says so. The result? Apps that feel genuinely polished.
Technology
Built with the best
We leverage cutting-edge technologies across the entire stack — from native iOS to high-performance backend infrastructure — to deliver secure, reliable, and blazing-fast experiences.

Our Principles
What we believe in
Respect for Users
We treat our users as intelligent adults, not metrics to be optimized. No dark patterns, no manipulative notifications, no artificial urgency. Just honest tools that deliver real value.
Depth Over Breadth
We'd rather be exceptional at one thing than mediocre at many. Each app we build receives our complete attention and dedication until it meets our exacting standards.
Sustainable Business
We believe in fair exchange — premium apps at fair prices, with sustainable subscription models that fund ongoing development. No venture capital, no pressure to compromise our values for growth.
Continuous Evolution
Software is never "done." We actively maintain and improve our apps, incorporating user feedback, adopting new technologies, and ensuring compatibility with the latest iOS versions.
