What kind of apps does Code Craft Studios build?

Code Craft Studios builds native mobile apps in two categories: focus and productivity tools like DepthWork, and viral consumer micro-apps like Pocket Senate.

The studio ships to TestFlight and internal Android tracks every two weeks so clients see the real app on a device each week.

Client data is stored in EU regions only. Code Craft Studios uses Hetzner (Germany and Finland), Scaleway (France), or AWS Frankfurt depending on the project. No data is processed outside the European Economic Area without explicit written approval and SCCs in place.

Does Code Craft Studios build Android apps too?
