Apps built for real life.
I'm Benjamin. I design and build small, private apps from things I actually needed myself. One person, paying attention to the details most apps skip.
Built from real needs.
A short catalogue, on purpose. Scroll through. Each one opens in place to show you what it does.
Luna Journal
A journal that fits into your day. You speak, and Luna turns it into entries you can read back and reflect on. Organised with AI, and kept on your device rather than a server.
- One tap to record, no typing or friction
- Transcribed and titled automatically
- AI reflections from friend, coach and philosopher angles
- Private by design, everything stays on your device
annote
Your paper books, remembered. Snap a highlight and annote turns it into a card you can search and review, so the best lines don't stay trapped on the shelf.
- Photograph a highlight, OCR turns it into an editable card in seconds
- Review with spaced repetition so the ideas actually stick
- AI synthesis that reflects what you highlighted, not a generic summary
- Made for physical books, the way Readwise works for digital
Meridian Clock
An alarm and world clock for living across timezones. Anchor an alarm to a city and it stays on that city's time when you travel, with the weather and your next meeting right there when it rings.
- Local and anchor alarms, pinned to any city's time
- Weather and your next meeting on the alarm screen
- A gradual sunrise wake-up, and a Safety Net alarm before events
- Exact alarms that survive a restart
More to come
I'd rather ship one app that does its job well than ten that don't, so the roadmap is short on purpose.
Coming soonHow the studio works.
Frictionless
Nothing should stand between you and the thing you opened the app to do. I keep each step frictionless: fewer taps, less fuss.
Private by design
Your data stays on your device. I don't run servers that hold it, and I don't share it with anyone.
Intentional
I build less, not more. One app that does its job well beats a cluttered one that does ten.
One person, accountable for everything.
Novaire Digital is a one-person studio. I kept looking for small, personal apps that didn't exist. A quick way to capture a thought. A journal I'd actually open. In the end I built them myself.
That means slower, more careful releases, and software that does exactly what it says. Designed, built and supported by the person who wrote it.
Tell me what you're missing.
Feature requests, bug reports, an app you wish existed, or just feedback. It comes straight to me, and I reply to every message.
