ddApps

Quiet software,
built to last

ddApps is the independent studio of Dulio Denis, a software engineer in New York City. After a decade of designing and shipping iOS apps, first in Objective-C then Swift, the work today is faster and more deliberate. Products engineered mostly in Zig, and built around a simple philosophy: software should respect your attention.
