Yako Works LLC

Wyoming, United States

An independent studio for small, careful software.

Yako Works LLC designs and builds native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android — the kind that work offline, ask for nothing they do not need, and are still worth opening in five years. AniGuide is the first one out the door.

  • Native, not wrappedSwiftUI on Apple platforms, Jetpack Compose on Android.
  • Offline firstThe app holds your data. The network is an optimisation.
  • No accounts to makeNothing to sign up for, nothing to track you with.

What we’re building

One app at a time, finished properly. Everything below is designed, built and supported in-house by Yako Works.

Not announced yet

We would rather ship one good app than four rushed ones, so this space stays empty until there is something real to put in it. If you want to hear about it when there is, the mailbox below is the whole mailing list.

How we work

Three commitments that decide most of the arguments before they start.

Built by hand

Native code on every platform — SwiftUI and WidgetKit on Apple devices, Jetpack Compose on Android. No cross-platform shell, no web view pretending to be an app.

Quiet with your data

Your library lives on your device. We do not sell data, we do not run ad profiles, and each app ships a privacy policy written from what its code actually does.

Made to keep working

Small, well-tested apps that survive an OS release. When something breaks, a real person reads the mail and fixes it — there is no support maze to get through first.

03

The company

Yako Works LLC is a limited liability company formed in the State of Wyoming, United States. It is the entity behind every app we publish: it holds the developer accounts, the source code, the domains and the support mailbox.

The studio is deliberately small. That is the point — it means the person who wrote the code is the person who answers your email, and it means we can spend a month on a detail that a bigger shop would have to ship past.

Press, partnership and support enquiries all go to the same address, and all of them get read.

04

One mailbox, read by a person.

Support for our apps, press questions, partnership ideas, or a bug you would like fixed. We answer in English, usually within a couple of days.
