App studio in Seoul · Taking new projects
Crooked ideas,
Baruda · 바르다 is Korean for straight, right, and to apply evenly, like a coat of paint. We try to be all three.
A small, warm-hearted app studio. We turn half-formed ideas into iOS, Android and web apps that are built straight, kept right, and finished smooth. No agency overhead, no freelancer roulette.
About · The name
One word,
three ways to build.
1
Straight code
An architecture that still stands when you add features a year from now. Clean, documented, and yours from day one.
2
Right promises
The timeline and budget we agree on are the ones we keep. You get an installable build every single week.
3
An even finish
Details get the final coat: motion, accessibility, edge cases, store review. Nothing ships half-painted.
Services · What we make
From a napkin sketch
to the App Store.
No spec doc needed. A page of notes and an hour of conversation is plenty. We'll straighten out the rest together.
01 / Mobile
Mobile apps
iOS and Android in one go. Flutter or React Native ships both platforms at once, and we go native with SwiftUI or Kotlin when that is the right call.
02 / Web
Web & backend
Servers, admin dashboards, landing pages. Everything behind the app, built fast and built to grow.
03 / MVP
MVP sprint
Three core features in four weeks, at a fixed price. A first version that really runs, ready for investors or a market test.
04 / Care
Care & growth
Launch is only the start. Store reviews, crash monitoring, analytics and monthly care keep your app growing straight long after release day.
Process · How it goes
Four steps.
The last one is a fresh coat.
Every Friday you hold a real build in your hand, not a status report.

Small apps,
made with care.
Every project comes down to who, what problem, and how it got solved. That matters more than a feature list.

FAQ · Good questions
Answers,
before you ask.
Something missing? Send it through the form below. You'll hear back within 24 hours.
How much does it cost?
It depends on scope, but MVP sprints run at a fixed price. On the first call you get an honest range, and the quote is broken down feature by feature, so you can see exactly what dropping something saves.
Can we start without a spec?
Yes, and most projects do. A page of notes or a few screenshots of apps you like is enough. In Discovery we build the feature list together, then cut it down.
Who owns the code when it's done?
You do, 100%. The repository, design files and store accounts are created in your name and handed over at the end, documented so any developer can pick it up tomorrow.
Do you look after the app after launch?
Two weeks of free aftercare is included. After that, a monthly retainer covers bug fixes, OS updates and small features, or you can simply book hours when you need them.
It's a small studio. Can you take on a big project?
For larger scopes we bring in trusted designer and developer partners. You still have one point of contact: the person you first talked to writes the code to the end.
