A small iOS development studio

We build software that
respects the data you put into it.

TwistedData Studios is a tiny, opinionated studio shipping native iPhone and iPad apps. Three are on the App Store and a fourth is still on the bench. Each does its work on the device it runs on, without required accounts, without selling your data, and with every third-party SDK we depend on named openly in the privacy policy.

How we build

Three rules we don't break.

Every product we ship is held to the same three commitments. They shape what we can and can't build, and they're why our software feels different from what's around it.

On-device by default

What you enter and what we calculate stays on your phone wherever it can. Servers are an absolute last resort, and we tell you when one is touched.

No required accounts

Our apps work without you signing up for anything. Where we offer Sign in with Apple, it's optional and used only for a single, named feature — never as a gate.

Honest UI

Estimates are clearly labeled as estimates. Simulations are clearly labeled as simulations. We'd rather say "we're not sure" than fake precision.

Apps

What we ship.

Three live on the App Store. SolGlow and CalmTide are companions — connect both and they share data on-device to get smarter. A fourth app, Hedge Fund CEO, is still in development — it's on the roadmap below.

SolGlow
Health & Fitness · iPhone + Apple Watch

A vitamin D companion for iPhone. Estimates the vitamin D you produced from sunlight today using your Apple Watch's Time in Daylight, your skin type, your location, and what you ate — all on the device.

  • Reads Apple Health Time in Daylight; writes vitamin D back as dietary samples.
  • Burn-risk warnings tuned to your Fitzpatrick skin type and the day's UV.
  • Weekly Sun Plan, Annual Plan, 60-day history with location-aware attribution.
  • New in 1.9 “Direct Sun”: a live burn budget for real time in the sun that only counts down (Pro), burn alerts that no longer trust a bad cloud forecast, and your own vitamin-D foods — atop 1.8's two ways to pay ($9.99 a year or $19.99 once).
  • No account. No analytics. Just a single UV-forecast network call.

CalmTide
Health & Fitness · iPhone + Apple Watch

A cortisol and HPA-axis tracker. Turns the HRV, sleep, and workout data your Apple Watch already collects into a weekly stress-balance score and an 8-week baseline-cortisol trend you can actually move.

  • Weekly HPA Balance Score from HRV, sleep, training load & breathwork.
  • Daily cortisol read with one smart, personalised recommendation.
  • 8-week baseline trend — the stress signal most apps never show.
  • New in 1.7: no intensity credit for workouts without heart rate, training load as plain figures, an optional drink count, and CalmTide on your wrist — balance as a watch complication, haptic-paced breathing, and a session one tap away in Control Centre or Siri — atop 1.6's HRV measured while you actually sleep.
  • Connects with SolGlow for morning-sun data. On-device, no account.

TripSnap
Finance · iPhone

An automatic mileage tracker that knows the difference between your car and a bus. It recognises the car you're sitting in, records the drive in the background, and builds the expense report that actually gets you reimbursed.

  • Starts because CarPlay or your saved car stereo connected — not because you moved.
  • Tracking Health card names the permission that broke, the day it breaks.
  • Recording is free and never stops — no monthly drive limit, nothing deleted. Free opens your 10 most recent drives.
  • TripSnap Pro (1 month free): your whole log, the PDF report your manager accepts, gig shifts with $/hour after fuel, and deadline alerts.
  • No account, no TripSnap server, no employer dashboard — the only services it talks to are Apple's.

What's next

The road ahead.

A short, honest snapshot of what we're working on. We update this page when releases ship — not before.

Four apps, shipping one at a time.

We ship one focused release at a time — each when it's ready, not when a sprint board says it should. This list is kept current as builds ship and reviews clear.

  • Live · v1.9 SolGlow — vitamin D companion. Shipped Apr 2026, now on v1.9 “Direct Sun” — a live burn budget for deliberate time in the sun that only counts down, plus burn alerts that no longer inherit a bad forecast's optimism, atop v1.8's two ways to pay. See the update history →
  • Live · v1.7 CalmTide 1.7 — cortisol & HPA-axis tracker that connects with SolGlow. Now on v1.7 “What it says it measured”: no intensity credit for workouts without heart rate, training load as figures instead of a verdict, an optional drink count, and the Apple Watch app grown into a complication, wrist breathwork and a Control Centre control. See the update history →
  • Live · v1.0 · Sep 2026 TripSnap 1.0 — automatic mileage tracker for people who get reimbursed for driving, on the App Store since 12 September. Car-aware capture that never stops recording, a tracking-health monitor, pay-period expense reports, and a second mode for gig drivers — with TripSnap Pro opening the whole log. Read the product page →
  • Next SolGlow — a roomier iPad layout, plus localized App Store screenshots for the new German, Spanish, and Japanese listings.
  • Later CalmTide — multi-device iCloud sync (1.5 ships manual export & restore in the meantime) and deeper SolGlow ecosystem features.
  • In development Hedge Fund CEO 1.0 — stock-trading simulator. Still being built, and later than we first planned; we'd rather say so than keep quoting a date. Read what it does →
