CFT Labs is building a portfolio of mobile apps — small, purposeful software powered by AI-augmented development. We focus on habit, ritual, and meaning-making tools that are genuinely useful, beautifully simple, and built to last.
Philosophy
Every app we build has a coherent story — a reason it exists, a feeling it creates, and a logic that holds together. We don't chase trends.
A focused app that does one thing beautifully beats a bloated platform every time. We build tight, purposeful tools that respect your attention.
We use AI to move faster and iterate freely — but every product is guided by human judgment, taste, and care. The technology serves the vision.
As code becomes abundant, what matters is building real relationships with users. We focus on trust, retention, and long-term value.
How we work
Every app starts with a clear concept blueprint — what it does, why it matters, who it serves, and how it creates value. We think in systems and user journeys before touching any tools.
We use React Native and Expo for cross-platform mobile apps, with AI assistance throughout the build. This lets us move from concept to working app in days rather than months.
Every CFT Labs app ships to both the Apple App Store and Google Play. We maintain high standards for review and submission, treating each launch as a real product — not an experiment.
Post-launch is where the real work begins. We track how people actually use our apps and iterate based on evidence, not assumptions.
App Portfolio
Remember drawing this on the back of your notebook? Old School Tic-Tac-Toe brings back the classic pencil-and-paper game exactly as you remember it — ruled lines, hand-drawn X's and O's, and that satisfying scratch of ink on paper. No flashy animations. No distractions. Just the game, the way it was always meant to be played.
Crack the Grid, See the Picture. A new nonogram puzzle every single day. Use the number clues to figure out which squares to fill in, and watch a hidden pixel art image reveal itself as you solve it.
