Why we exist

Small studio. High standards.

Amsterdam Future Labs is run by one person, Pieter Thurkow — because the best software comes from caring about every detail. Every app, and every client project, is designed, built and supported by the same hands, and held to the same four principles.

Crafted, not assembled

Everything we ship is designed and built end to end, with obsessive attention to typography, motion and detail. No templates. No shortcuts.

Private by design

No accounts, no tracking, no data harvesting. Your information lives on your device — where it belongs.

Offline first

Airplane mode is not an edge case. Every app works fully without an internet connection, every single day.

Honest pricing

Free where we can, a fair price where we can’t — always shown up front, never a dark pattern.

Portfolio

Questions

Good to know

The short version of what people ask most. Each app also has its own detailed FAQ.

All questions
Are the apps free?

Most apps are free to download and use. Some offer an optional Pro upgrade — always clearly priced, never required for core functionality.

Do the apps collect my data?

No. Our apps require no account and we add no analytics — your data stays on your device. The one exception to our no-ads rule is the game MergeOrbit, which offers optional rewarded ads; its page explains exactly what that means.

Do the apps work offline?

Yes — every app is built offline-first. Recipes, sessions, puzzles, lessons and timers all work without an internet connection.

Which devices are supported?

Almost all apps are designed for iPhone (HIITClub is iPad-only) and most require iOS 17 or later. Each app page lists its exact requirements and languages.
