Independent software company

Software that is simple, fast and built to last.

povo LLC designs, builds and operates digital products — mobile apps, web applications and the cloud services behind them. Private by default, and made with care.

iOS & Android Web macOS & Windows Cloud APIs

Services

From first idea to a product people use.

We handle the whole lifecycle of a product, so ideas become polished, reliable apps — and stay that way.

Mobile & desktop apps

Native and cross-platform applications for phones, tablets and computers, built with each platform's own conventions.

Web applications

Fast, responsive web apps and sites — from customer-facing products to internal tools and dashboards.

Cloud & infrastructure

APIs, back-end services, email and hosting infrastructure that are secure, monitored and cost-efficient.

Product & interface design

Clear information architecture and thoughtful interactions, tested with real users before they ship.

Privacy & security

Minimal data collection, encryption in transit and at rest, and access control designed in from day one.

Release & maintenance

Beta testing, store and web releases, ongoing updates, monitoring and responsive customer support.

How we work

A simple, transparent process.

Small iterations, honest estimates and working software at every step.

Discover

We define the problem, the audience and what success looks like before writing any code.

Design

Prototypes on real devices let us test flows early and change course cheaply.

Build

Iterative engineering with automated tests, code review and frequent preview builds.

Launch & grow

Release, user feedback, privacy-respecting analytics and continuous improvement.

Principles

What we care about.

The values behind every app we ship.

Your data is yours

We collect as little as possible, keep it on device when we can, and never sell it. No third-party advertising trackers.

Simple by design

Clear interfaces, sensible defaults and fast performance — software that feels familiar from the first click.

Quality over quantity

We would rather ship fewer features that work beautifully than many that work poorly.

Long-term support

Apps are maintained for years, not abandoned after launch. Customers can always reach a real person.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I get help with one of your apps?

Visit our Support page or email [email protected]. Please include the product name, your device and operating system version.

How do I request a refund for an in-app purchase?

Purchases made through an app store are processed by that store, so refunds are requested there (for example Apple App Store or Google Play). For anything else, contact us and we will help.

Do your products collect personal data?

We keep data collection to a minimum. Each product discloses what it collects, and our Privacy Policy explains how it is handled.

Do you take on client projects?

Occasionally. If you have a product idea, tell us about it via the contact address below.
