Lumen Labs Studio
Software that respects your attention.
No cloud-leaks of your health data. No algorithmic guilt. Native tools, priced honestly — one-time where we can, subscriptions only when the app keeps earning them.
The philosophy
One-time pricing, wherever it fits.
Subscriptions are for software you keep updating every week. A debt payoff tracker, a hydration log, a journal — pay once, use forever. We only use subscriptions when the product genuinely earns them.
Privacy-first, by architecture.
HealthKit stays on-device. No analytics pixels. No accounts unless the product literally can't work without them. We can't leak a database we never built.
Apple-native, not cross-platform shortcuts.
SwiftUI, HealthKit, WidgetKit, App Intents. Our apps should feel like they belong on the phone they run on — not like a web app in a wrapper.
Start with a stack
Four intentional collections.
Not the full catalog — four stacks of apps designed to work together. The rest of the thirty-five live at /catalog.

What we're building
Apps we believe in enough to stake the studio on.
Real prices from our PRDs. No vapor. The rest of the catalog is at /catalog.
Sesh
01Make the therapy you pay for actually stick.
Therapy is expensive and emotional. We found that a week later, we'd forget the breakthroughs. We built Sesh to be the 'bridge' between the sofa and the rest of your life.
Available now$39.99/yearLumenScan
02A private document scanner, made for India
When CamScanner was pulled, millions of Indian users lost their scanner overnight — and the replacements either ignore Indian scripts or quietly upload your documents. LumenScan fixes both: a premium, India-first scanner that reads your scripts and keeps your documents on your device.
Available now₹149Athan
03Your prayer times. Nobody else's business.
Prayer apps are reference-first — times, Qibla, Quran — and most are heavy with ads, trackers, and accounts. None solve the real struggle: consistency. We built Athan as a habit and accountability engine that works fully offline and keeps your data on your device.
Launching soon$19.99Naksha
04Your whole kundli, computed properly — calm and ad-free.
Astrology apps are usually a wall of ads and upsells with shallow, generic readings. We wanted a clean, respectful Jyotish app that computes charts properly, explains them in plain language, and treats your birth details with care.
Launching soon₹399Upvas
05Intermittent fasting that fits your 9pm dinner.
Every fasting app is built around a 6pm Western dinner. NRI and Indian families eat at 9pm, fast on Ekadashi, and need a vegetarian mode — so we made the one that actually fits.
Launching soon$1.99MenoTrack
06Track menopause symptoms — and finally see the pattern.
Period apps retrofit menopause as an afterthought. We started from hot flashes, HRT, and the 10-year arc — not from a 28-day cycle wheel.
Launching soon$4.99Voltly
07Field calcs you'd wire to — code cited, all offline.
A dozen ugly single-trick conduit and electrical apps chart in the paid Productivity charts at once — a proven, fragmented market begging for one beautiful, trustworthy tool. Clarity and design are the wedge.
Launching soon$9.99Acorn
08Their first words, three calm minutes a day.
Toddler apps are a minefield of ads, manipulative loops, and data harvesting aimed at children. We wanted the opposite: a short, vetted, ad-free first-words app a parent can trust and a toddler can't get lost in.
Launching soon$1.99/mo
