Small Trail Studio
Independent iOS studio
Small Trail Studio is an independent iOS studio making thoughtful apps for everyday life. Each app starts with a real need, then gets polished until it feels right in anyone’s hands.
The apps
LifeWheel and InSeason are out. Three more are in the works — no names yet, and each one steps into the light as it arrives on the App Store.

A visual journal for wellness
A calm check-in for the eight areas that matter most to you. Rate each one from 1 to 10, watch them bloom into a pastel wheel, then play the whole journey back as it morphs through your history. When a score moves, a one-line note catches why, and your journal keeps the story behind the numbers — while Insights reads it back: what’s strongest, what’s asking for attention, and the streak you’re building.
Eat with the seasons
A location-aware guide to seasonal eating. InSeason maps your spot to one of seven US growing regions and shows which of 170+ ingredients are in season right now — with peak windows, nutrition highlights, pairings, and prep ideas for each one.
The tip jar
Our apps carry no ads and no trackers, and they collect nothing about you. They exist because a small idea felt worth making — and they’re better because people use them. If one has earned a spot on your home screen, a coffee keeps the studio lights on.
About
We make thoughtful iOS apps from everyday ideas. We care about products that do one thing well, feel native to the platform, and respect the person holding the phone. Want to say hi? Get in touch.
