Product studio

Software for the moments that matter.

We make two apps. One mobilises a community when someone cannot ask for help themselves. The other tells your trusted contacts if you ever stop answering. Both exist for the same moment: when someone needs another person to notice.

How we work

Few decisions, held over time.

We do not make many products. We make two, and we keep them running. These are the decisions we do not change with the fashion.

  • The app is the product

    Echo and iok are lived on the phone. The web is there to explain, and to share a link with someone who does not have the app yet — never as a half-finished replacement for it.

  • Our own infrastructure

    We do not build on top of somebody else’s platform. The servers, the data and the pace of the products are ours, which is why we can answer when something breaks.

  • You decide what gets shared

    In iok your location and your medical information only reach your contacts once the alert reaches the end. In Echo you post exactly what you want the community to see.

  • An alert cannot depend on one route

    When something genuinely matters, the alert goes out several ways at once: in the app, by email and by message. If one does not arrive, another does.
