An independent iOS studio. Chicago · est. 2026 · one craftsman.
Clarendon Labs is an independent iOS studio with one chair at the bench. The same person designs the icon, writes the Swift, ships the build, and answers the support email.
The trade-off is that we ship slowly. The benefit is that nothing leaves the bench before it's good.
No early access, no roadmap promises. If it's in the catalog, it works.
Each app does a single thing well. No feature creep, no everything-apps.
Swift and SwiftUI, top to bottom. Apps that feel like they belong on the platform.
One-time purchases wherever the economics allow. No dark patterns, ever.
No ads, no analytics SDKs, no data brokers. The house rules apply to every app.
Support email goes to the engineer who built the app — not a queue, not a bot.
