ciderstudios

Classics with fizz.

We are an independent studio. We make games and apps for people who want the thing to be good, not to be explained.

What we make

Nano Surgeon

Action strategy, iOS

You are shrunk to the size of a blood cell and put inside a patient who is running out of time. Navigate the vessels, find what is killing them, and treat it before the clock does.

Real pathogens, real medications, and a body that does not always help you.

Unzap

Utility, iPhone

Your whole WhatsApp history, kept somewhere safe outside your phone. Conversations, photos and audio stay searchable, and your phone gets its storage back.

Encrypted end to end. Only you hold the key.

Bardo

Voice fiction, iPhone Not out yet

An audiobook that talks back. The story plays on its own, like a podcast, and at the moments of choice you answer out loud, in your own words. Say nothing and it keeps going down a safe path.

Built for hands-free time: the drive, the kitchen, the run, the dark before sleep.

How we work

Small on purpose. Every product is built from scratch, with its own art, code and sound.

Nothing we do not need. This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. The apps collect what they must and nothing else.

Finished, then shipped. We would rather be late than ship something that is almost right.
