In developmentHow we build
Quiet software that stays out of the way.
On-device first
Lyrics, photos and progress stay on your device. We build features that work without sending your work anywhere.
Calm by design
No ads, no pressure, no tricks. Interfaces that invite instead of instruct, whether the user is thirty or six.
Native and fast
Built for Apple devices with Apple’s own frameworks, so apps feel at home, respond instantly and keep working offline.
Services
App development, from first sketch to App Store.
The same practice behind our own productions is available for yours.
Product design
An idea becomes a clear, buildable product: flows, prototypes and an honest scope.
iPhone & iPad apps
Native Swift, SwiftUI and UIKit, including audio, graphics, on-device processing and 2D games.
Launch ready
Privacy policy, support site, App Store listing, privacy labels and review submission, done properly.
Care after launch
Updates, fixes and new features as your app finds its audience.
About
A small studio, on purpose.
Nearlight Creative Services is an independent app studio in Edmonton, Alberta, run by Jonathan Martin. We build software for creative people, from songwriters to six-year-olds.
Every production here is designed, written and built in-house. The studio that made the app answers the support email, and the same standard applies to your privacy as to the code.
