Northstave is an independent software studio building calm, privacy-respecting apps for iOS — no dark patterns, no endless subscriptions.
Our apps
A focused lineup, each built to do one thing well.
TrailWeight
Plan lighter. Hike farther.
A backpacking trip planner that turns your gear list into pack weight you can actually feel — so every ounce earns its place.
MenuPlan
A week of meals, planned in minutes.
On-device AI meal planning that builds a week you'll actually cook — private, fast, and tailored to how you eat.
Undim
Understand your screen time. Then change it.
An insight-first digital wellbeing app that shows you the truth about how you use your phone — no guilt, no subscriptions.
Upkept: Home Upkeep
Home maintenance that remembers so you don't have to.
A local-first home-maintenance reminder that actually understands the seasons — HVAC filters, smoke detectors, gutters, and the seasonal jobs that only come up twice a year.
Quietworth
Your net worth, quietly tracked.
A local-first net worth tracker for iPhone and Mac — add your accounts, import holdings, and watch the trend line without handing your finances to a third party.
Askvault
Photograph any document. Ask your whole filing cabinet.
A privacy-first document vault: photograph any warranty, policy, bill, or letter and it's extracted, filed, and searchable — with every answer read straight off your device.
Voice Log: Talk & Track
Log it by talking. Bring the chart to your appointment.
A voice-first symptom logger for chronic conditions — speak an entry while mid-flare or driving, confirm it, and let your clinician do the interpreting.
Loadcraft: Plates & Workouts
Know your plates. Build your workout.
A zero-tap plate calculator for functional fitness, plus an on-device AI workout generator for the days you want the app to build the session.
Privacy first
On-device where possible, Apple frameworks over trackers, and no selling your data. Ever.
No dark patterns
Clear pricing, honest design, and apps that respect your attention instead of hijacking it.
Built to last
Native, focused apps made by people who use them daily — not disposable software.
