Small studio. Fewer apps.
More care.
TH App Global is an independent mobile studio. No investors, no growth targets — just software we'd want to use ourselves, built with an early-bird work ethic.
EST. 2026 · StudioSmall on purpose, not by accident.
TH App Global started because we kept getting hired to build other people's apps and going home to sketch our own. Eventually we stopped waiting for permission. No investors, no board, no growth targets to hit before Q3, deciding what gets built next.
Staying small is the whole strategy. Every decision is made by someone who will personally answer the support email if it goes wrong, and every app stays simple enough that we can hold the entire thing in our heads.
How we build
six habits, checked every releaseSketch before code
Every screen starts on paper before a line gets written.
Small surface area
We say no to most features — they're hard to remove once shipped.
Native by default
Swift and Kotlin, never a cross-platform shortcut.
Beta with real users
Weeks in closed testing before anything launches.
No dark patterns
No forced ratings, no fake urgency, ever.
Support for years
We patch long after the launch-week high fades.
A studio, not a startup
Our team quit client work and gave ourselves eighteen months to see if a studio of our own could pay the bills. TH App Global began as a shared Notion doc of ideas nobody else seemed to be building.
We build the same way we did on day one: slowly, by hand, with no roadmap beyond the next thing that annoys us enough to fix. No dark patterns, no growth hacks — just software that respects the ten minutes someone gives it.
Build software that respects attention — no dark patterns, just something that works.
A sustainable studio shipping fewer, better apps for as long as we can keep making them.
What we optimize for
in order, checked every shipCraft over speed
We'd rather ship a year late and right than fast and forgettable.
Fewer features, done well
Every feature we cut is one less thing that can confuse or break.
Respect for attention
No push notifications you didn't ask for, no infinite scroll by default.
Privacy by default
We collect the minimum data required to make the app work — nothing more.
Long-term thinking
We plan for apps we'll still be updating in five years, not five months.
Direct feedback loops
Every support email reaches the team directly, not a ticketing queue.
Alex Rivera
Designs every screen by hand before a single line of code exists. Previously shipped consumer products at two startups that folded — this one is sticking.
Priya Nair
Writes the Swift and Kotlin behind everything we ship. Believes most bugs are a design decision made too fast.
Built native. No shortcuts.
Every app is written directly against each platform's own frameworks.
Journal
notes from the buildWhy we killed our onboarding flow
One of our apps launched with a 6-screen tutorial nobody finished. We deleted it and rewrote the empty state instead.
We turned off ads before we ever turned them on
A test build of one of our apps had a banner ad slot ready to go live. We ripped it out the week before launch — here is why.
What our first months of reviews taught us
We read every single review since launch. Here's what actually changed our roadmap versus what we ignored.
