About My Next Studio

Independent by design

My Next Studio is an independent app studio.

It was founded and is currently run by one person.

The studio builds focused apps for individuals, not companies.

Building one thing at a time

We believe good software does one thing well. Not everything.

Each app in the My Next family is designed with a clear purpose, and with clear boundaries. Instead of building one large app that tries to handle everything, we build smaller apps that work well on their own — and even better together.

This allows each app to stay understandable, lightweight, and intentional.

Slow, deliberate development

Apps and features are released gradually.

New functionality is introduced in a controlled way, tested in real use, and refined before expanding further. Not everything ships at once, and not everything ships early.

This approach allows decisions to be based on experience rather than assumptions, and keeps complexity from growing faster than understanding.

Why some things come later

Some features are intentionally postponed.

For example, sync is not available from day one. Local, offline-first behavior is prioritized first, so the core experience is solid, predictable, and resilient before adding additional layers.

When sync is introduced, it is done deliberately — with clarity around data ownership, behavior, and long-term reliability.

User-owned data

User data always belongs to the user.

It is not sold, tracked, or repurposed. Apps are designed to function independently, with respect for privacy and control.

Data ownership is not a feature. It is a baseline.

High ambitions, small scale

My Next Studio has high ambitions for quality, craft, and longevity — regardless of team size.

Being small allows decisions to stay consistent, trade-offs to be made consciously, and products to evolve without external pressure.

The studio may grow over time. The principles will not.
