Independent app studio
Gottschalk Group LLC designs and builds apps that are fast, dependable and genuinely pleasant to use — carefully engineered, properly tested, and refined until every detail earns its place.
Our work
Every product starts as something we wanted for ourselves and couldn't find.
Writes natural, detailed captions for your photos on Mac, iPhone and iPad: where they were taken, what's in them, and who's there. Captions name the real place using Apple Maps and are saved into the photos' EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata, where Photos and Lightroom can read them. The first 25 photos are free, with no account or API key to set up, and one purchase covers all your devices.
More on the way. New apps that do the hard work for you — and make everyday tasks easier — are in development.
Approach
The standards we hold every project to, whatever it is built with.
An app should feel instant. We measure, profile and keep tuning until it does — because speed is the feature people notice every single day.
Clean architecture, real test coverage and code we're happy to come back to years later. Products should get better with each release, not more fragile.
We sweat the last ten percent — the empty states, the error messages, the small frictions — because that is the difference between an app that works and one people love.
