We build apps
so you can go
back to bed.

Miskincin is an oxymoron we made up and then legally adopted: lazy, but somehow faster than you. We are an AI-first studio in Istanbul, making software that solves problems we were personally too bothered to keep solving manually.

01 — the house style

Eight rules
we mostly keep.

We don't do manifestos because we think the world needs another one. We do them because written rules are easier to ignore gracefully. Here are ours, in no particular order of obedience.

  • ·01 If the user has to learn it, we failed at designing it. no tutorial mandatory
  • ·02 Every app should make one hard thing feel embarrassingly easy. one knife, sharpened
  • ·03 AI is a co-worker we trust with the boring parts and nothing else. tool, not oracle
  • ·04 We don't monetise anxiety, streaks, or your unread notifications. no engagement farming
  • ·05 If our grandmother can't use it, the problem is the product. grandma-test certified
  • ·06 Pretty is a feature; ugly is a bug we haven't filed yet. craft is non-optional
  • ·07 Ship less. Polish more. Apologise for nothing. v1 beats v0
  • ·08 Rest is a line item on the roadmap. see you at 11am
02 — what we made

Things
we shipped
to prove a point.

Two apps. One out in the world, one still in a polite argument with its final details. Both are small answers to questions that mildly annoyed us until we wrote code instead.

Souppo — a round, knit-scarfed puzzle mascot
live puzzle · cozy · cross-generational

Souppo.

(a soft puzzle adventure for people who like their brains stretched gently)

A puzzle game that grandparents, parents and kids can actually play together without one of them crying by level three. Warm, wordless, faintly ridiculous. Built for the soft hour between dinner and sleep.

Snap Split
your Bill.

(photograph the receipt, assign the guilt, move on with your evening)

Snap the receipt. Tag who ate what. Walk out of dinner without the group-chat post-mortem. No accounts. No subscription theatre. Just the shortest possible path between a bill and peace.

03 — the operating table

How we
actually work.

Not a methodology. Not a framework. Just six opinions that have survived several contracts, a tax audit and one group chat.

A

Ruthlessly scoped.

The second-best feature is always the first one we cut.

B

Written in English.

Pricing pages should read like a friend, not a lawyer on retainer.

C

AI in the basement.

We use it heavily. We don't make you look at it. Magic, not demo.

D

Privacy by laziness.

We don't want your data because we don't want to protect it.

E

Small files, long lives.

Fewer dependencies, fewer rewrites, fewer angry nights in 2028.

F

Taste is a commit.

Design reviews happen at eye level, one decision at a time.

The best
software
is the kind
you forget
you're using.

We make tools that get out of the way. The best compliment we ever got from a user of Souppo was that she forgot she was in an app until she was through level forty. The best one we ever got from a tester of Snap Split Your Bill was that her friend paid without complaining. These are our metrics. We do not have a dashboard.

have a problem? we have a couch.

Prod us
(gently).

We take on a tiny number of outside projects a year. Usually because we find the problem interesting, occasionally because we lost a bet. Either way, the first email is free.
