App studio & consultancy — Vancouver

We turn the
lights on.

it's in the name. twice.

Light Light Labs designs and builds software that makes sense the second you open it. Two products of our own, and a small number of client projects a year.

01The studio

Most software is dim. Ours is the light you work by.

no manuals. no onboarding tour. no dark patterns.
02What we make
01

Sprout World

A calm learning world for ages 3–6.

coming soon to iPad →

Seven little places to explore, a friend who comes along, and a garden that grows every time your child learns something new. No points, no timers, nothing that rushes them. It collects nothing — no accounts, no ads, no trackers. Everything stays on the iPad.

Scholar OS

An operating system for learning.

early access soon →

Reading, notes, sources and recall usually live in five apps that don't speak to each other. Scholar OS is one calm surface where a paper you read on Tuesday shows up in the essay you write on Friday. Everything you've read, in the same place as everything you're writing.

  • Sources & citations
  • Linked notes
  • Recall built in
  • Offline

Consulting

We'll do it for your app, too.

taking clients now →

A few client projects a year — teams with a product that works but feels murky, or an idea that hasn't found its shape yet. Strategy, design and build from the same people. No account layer, no handoff between the team that pitched and the team that ships.

  • Product strategy
  • Interface design
  • iOS · Android · Web
  • Rescue & rebuild

03How it goes

Four steps. The first one is switching the light on.

one

Find the light

What is this product actually for? We don't touch a pixel until that fits in one sentence.

two

Draw it

Interface design in the open, fast, in front of you. You see it while it's still cheap to change.

three

Build it

iOS, Android and web by the same people who designed it. Shipped to real users, not demoed.

four

Keep it lit

We stay on after launch. Products go dim when nobody's tending them.

04Contact

Let's turn
something on.

A paragraph is plenty. If it's a fit we'll come back with a rough shape and a rough number in a few days.
