Independent product studio
Emberline is a small product studio behind Carelio and Cageside — two apps we designed and built ourselves. We take on a few outside projects too, and we care about the same three things every time: design, privacy, and getting the details right.
Selected work
We don't just design screens — we ship, run, and stand behind real apps. Here's what that looks like.
Nannies log meals, naps, and moments in seconds. Parents get a private, reassuring daily timeline — no ads, no feeds, and no selling your family's data. It's the household's shared care record, built for the nanny–parent relationship.
Private iOS betaThe cappers you follow, weighted into one consensus per fight — backed by verified, measured track records and live odds with line-shopping. Verified means measured by us, not claimed after the fact. Receipts beat vibes.
Web app liveThe studio
Emberline is deliberately small. That's the point — it's how the details survive contact with shipping.
Both our apps live or die on it, so we design for trust first: private by default, honest by default, and no dark patterns to inflate a number.
Interfaces that feel calm and fast because someone sweated the details — not because they shout. Craft you can feel in the first ten seconds.
A lean, modern stack taken all the way to production — accounts, payments, privacy, and support handled properly, not prototyped. Fewer projects, each one finished.
Select client work
We take on a small number of outside projects — apps and websites for teams who care about design and trust as much as we do. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
