Independent app studio

We build apps worth keeping.

AreteOS is a small, independent studio. We build focused, private iPhone apps on one shared core, and hold each one to the same standard. Different problems, one bar.

The apps

What we're building.

A short catalog, in different corners of everyday life. Each app keeps its own character. The studio keeps the standard.

Furmacy

Pet medication tracking for chronic-care owners. Scan an Rx label, get reminders, and the schedule fixes itself after a late or missed dose.

In the works on the same core. We will say more when it is closer to your home screen.

How we build

One small team, one core, a high bar.

AreteOS is independent and self-funded. We pick a few problems worth solving and build native apps that respect your time, your attention, and your data. No dark patterns, no selling your information, no app we plan to abandon.

Arete is the Greek word for excellence: a thing being fully what it should be. It is the standard every app here is held to.

01

One core, many apps.

Every app shares the same tested foundation, so they ship faster and behave consistently from the first screen.

02

Private by default.

We collect as little as we can, keep what we can on your device, and never sell your data.

03

Native, and made to last.

Built with Apple's own tools, and maintained over time. We would rather keep a few apps sharp than abandon many.
