Independent software studio
Codonic builds native applications for macOS, iPadOS, iOS, Windows and Android. Few products, each taken further than the category usually bothers to go — and each one written for the way the work is actually done.
Repertoire
Two products, built for people who use their computers seriously enough to notice the difference.
Turn an iPad into a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet for your desktop
Pad streams your Mac or PC display to a tablet and sends the stylus back as real driver-grade tablet input — pressure, tilt, barrel roll, hover and eraser. Photoshop, Affinity, Krita, Clip Studio and Blender see it exactly as they would a Wacom.
A travel expense tracker you open because it is also the journal of the trip
Every expense is a souvenir. Souvenir weaves spending, photos, places and border crossings into one day-by-day story of a trip — and the money data comes along for free: true multi-currency at the rate of the day you spent, and cash tracked properly.
Approach
These are working rules, not slogans. They decide what gets built and what gets cut.
Swift and SwiftUI on Apple platforms, native toolkits elsewhere. Hardware video encoders, the real pencil APIs, the platform’s own frameworks — the things that make an app feel like it belongs on the machine.
Every app starts from the one thing the category keeps getting wrong, and refuses to ship until that part is right. The rest of the feature list follows from it.
Latency is a feature. We budget it, measure it and show it, because a tool you have to wait for is a tool you stop reaching for.
A small studio, a short list of products, and a reply from someone who can actually open the file you are having trouble with.
Questions, bug reports and feature requests all go to a person, not a ticket queue.
