Small apps that do one thing well.

Kineema Labs is an independent studio in San Francisco. We make careful, calm iPhone apps with no ads and no accounts to sign up for.

Quiet Spaces

A place where you can hear each other.

Restaurants, cafés and bars, rated on one thing: whether you can hear the person across the table. Built for people who are hard of hearing, hearing aid and cochlear implant users, and anyone who processes sound differently.

  • Patio, booth, bar and main floor rated separately
  • Best time of day to go, from people who sat there
  • A ten-second noise check. Nothing is ever recorded

Cold Brew Studio

Cold brew, dialed to your gear.

Pick your grinder and your brewer and get a recipe sized to what you actually own. Start a batch and it follows you onto your Lock Screen, counting the hours until it's ready.

  • 80+ grinders, each drawn with its own dial
  • 20 brewers, from a mason jar to a gallon dispenser
  • A bean journal that tunes the next batch

Ridotto · Coming soon

Learn the game before you sit down.

Blackjack and Texas hold'em, taught the way a casino plays them. A retired dealer coaches you through every hand and tells you why each play is the right one.

  • The Pit and the Poker Room, with regulars who come back night after night
  • Honest about the odds. The house always has an edge, and the app says so
  • Play money only. Nothing to buy, nothing to win. 18+

About

Kineema Labs is run by Tyler Cannon in San Francisco. Every app starts with a small problem from real life, like a loud restaurant, a coffee grinder dial, or a first night at a casino table.
