chapter ii — the shipped list
Two apps.
Both stubborn.
We keep a thin catalogue on purpose. Each title here is a question we got tired of answering by hand. If a third one appears, it'll be because one of us started muttering about something else at breakfast.
a puzzle adventure for three generations in one room.
Souppo is a cooperative puzzle game designed to bridge the uncomfortable silence between a grandparent, a parent and a child. Warm palette, no text barriers, no timers, no rage. The stranger the level, the funnier everyone gets.
Why we
built a game
for all three of you.
Most "family" games assume the youngest is five and the oldest is thirty-five. Souppo assumes the youngest is five and the oldest has a walking stick and strong opinions about salt.
The brief
Build a game that a seven-year-old, their father and their grandmother can enjoy on the same couch, at the same time, on their own devices, without any of them feeling patronised, lost, or out-levelled.
The shape of it
Cooperative, turn-based puzzles. No literacy requirement. Levels that scale difficulty by intuition, not by reflex. A mascot — the round orange one you've now met — whose only job is to make the whole thing feel like a bedtime story that happens to have rules.
Why it works
Because a grandmother is often the sharpest strategist in the room and nobody has been handing her a controller. Souppo hands her one. She humiliates everyone by level nine. Everyone laughs. That's the game.
“I played this with my seven-year-old niece and my seventy-two-year-old mother. Mother won. Niece demanded a rematch. We've played every Sunday since.”

Snap Split
your Bill.
point, tap, done. no accounts. no drama.
An OCR-first bill splitter for groups who would rather eat dessert than do arithmetic. Snap the receipt, tag who had what, share a clean breakdown. That's the whole app.
The end of
"who had the salad?"
Dinner with friends should end when dessert ends. Not when the seventh person finally agrees to pay for someone else's second raki. We built the shortest possible path between receipt and peace.
The brief
Split a bill across a table of six in under thirty seconds, without anyone having to download anything, sign up, or enter twenty-seven item prices manually.
The shape of it
Photograph the receipt. Our OCR reads the items. Tap each person's face onto the dishes they ate. Watch the totals update live. Send the breakdown by link, iMessage, or screenshot. There is no account. There is no login. There is no "premium tier" for dividing by seven.
Why it works
Because bill-splitting is a thirty-second problem that other apps have somehow inflated into a six-screen onboarding. Ours has one screen. The screen is a camera. The rest is trust and arithmetic.
“Three taps from photo to payment. I sent the link to the group chat and nobody complained. That has never happened before.”

What's
next.
We don't publish a roadmap. We do publish a short list of grievances that have survived enough dinner-table mention to become candidates. Consider it the world's least formal backlog.
A timer that understands Turkish cooking.
Because "on low heat until it looks done" is not a minute value.
A ridiculous grocery list.
That corrects for what you've already got, instead of what you typed.
A calmer calendar.
Fewer notifications, more context. We'll say no more until it ships.
A small reading companion.
For the books you bought in good faith in 2019 and are now ashamed of.
Your idea.
Seriously — if it makes us laugh, it goes on the list. The list is sacred.
At least one surprise.
Every year we build one thing nobody asked for. Usually it's the best one.

Half our apps started as a complaint. If you have a great one, send it over — we read everything, even the unhinged emails.
