Independent iOS Studio
niApps builds focused iOS apps for productivity, organization, and smarter daily routines — designed for people who value clean, useful tools.
A small, carefully crafted catalog. Each app does one thing well.
Your family tree, together
A ground-up rebuild of Gramps. Build rich family trees with profile pictures, share a tree with family through iCloud, and get reminders for birthdays and remembrance days. Now available on the App Store.
Smart grocery lists with budget insight
Shared family grocery lists with per-item price tracking, monthly and yearly budget charts, a recipes↔shopping-list loop, and a bonus-cards stash. Now available on the App Store.
Taglines & copy that convert
Capture promo ideas the moment they strike and turn them into polished marketing copy with AI — for taglines, social posts, sales, and product launches. Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Stopwatch for your trips
Track business and personal trips with one-tap start/stop. Distances are calculated automatically via GPS, addresses are looked up for you, and you can export everything to Excel for tax or reimbursement.
Invoices, hours & VAT
Make freelance billing painless. Create professional invoices, log billable hours that attach straight to them, and keep an eye on turnover, costs, and VAT from one financial dashboard.
Spot electricity prices
Get notified when Tibber's dynamic prices drop below your threshold, and let Sibber pick the cheapest times to charge your EV or run appliances. Includes home- and lock-screen widgets and Apple Watch with Siri.
Keep your family close
Build and explore your family tree on iPhone and iPad. GEDCOM import/export for compatibility with other genealogy tools, photo attachments, birthday notifications, and full offline use.
AI-powered PRDs for app ideas
Turn an app idea into a polished Product Requirement Document with AI. Dictate the concept, get market research and competitor analysis, optimize App Store keywords, and explore names and icon styles — all in one place.
Track, review & share films
Keep one list of films you've seen and films you want to see — with where you watched each one (Netflix, HBO Max, cinema). Watch trailers, rate by voice, write quick reviews, and share them in a tap.
Never forget where you watch
Track every show in one place, see exactly where to stream each one (Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Prime Video), and never lose your episode progress. Get notified when new episodes air and sync across devices via iCloud.
The real cost of your EV
Automatically aggregate charging costs across every network — Tesla Superchargers, FastNed, IONITY, and more — and compare what your EV really costs versus a fuel car. See each session in a clean timeline.
Track clips, locations, and storage
A vlogger's index for the footage scattered across SD cards, USB sticks, and external drives. Note what's on each one, search across them all, and find that clip from two years ago in seconds — iCloud-synced between iPhone and iPad.
Karting lap-time tracker
Record and compare lap times from your karting sessions. Save your race history, break it down by heat, track, or driver, and share results with the people you race with.
CRM for entrepreneurs
Remember every meeting and follow up at the right moment. pTouch logs notes from calls and networking events, tracks leads and projects, and gives sales conversations the context to land.
Track assets, fees & P/L
See your stocks and crypto across every exchange in one dashboard. Real-time market value, realized and unrealized P/L, transaction fees, and interactive price charts — synced via iCloud between iPhone and iPad.
Built by Nico Jansen — a one-person studio shipping practical iOS apps since 2010.
niApps is an independent app studio focused on small, useful tools that respect your time and your data. Every app is designed and developed in-house, with a bias for clarity over clutter, privacy over telemetry, and craft over churn.
Every screen earns its place. No dark patterns, no upsell mazes.
Your data stays on your device or in your own iCloud — never on our servers.
Built for iOS first, with attention to the details that make daily use a pleasure.
Questions, feedback, partnership ideas, or app support — we'd love to hear from you.
