big usefulness.

The thesis

Most apps want your week.
We make the ones that want a minute.

Right minute

Useful in the moment you actually need it, then out of your way.

One at a time

No portfolio sprawl. The app shipping today gets all of it.

Quiet by default

No red badges, no nagging. Speaks only when it's earned the right.

Now shipping

CardCue Pro.
Never forget your free money.

$400–$1,500 sits unused in the average US junk drawer, gift cards, punch passes, prepaid balances. Cue brings it back at the exact moment you can spend it: on foot, near a store, ready to go.

The studio

A small workshop with strong opinions.
