Who we are

Started by a software developer with a strong background in testing and a passion for quality.

Right now we are focused on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch apps. This is the first phase of our journey; we won’t stop there. We will be developing solutions for a variety of platforms.

Meet Taco

A black cat with one orange eye, sitting in the mouth of a candlelit stone archway. The carved sign above reads Catacomb de Taco.

Legend has it that Taco drags anyone who misuses your data to his catacomb and curses them with nine lives — a near-eternity of purgatory. His orange eye is always watching.

Taco’s watchful eye is part of the story. In practice, our apps have no advertising or usage-analytics tracking built in. That describes our approach, not a guarantee of absolute privacy or security. Device backups, iCloud sync, optional store diagnostics, and anything you choose to share have their own privacy considerations. Read each product’s privacy policy for details.

How we make apps

No in-app ads

None of our apps shows advertising. What you see is the app.

No tracking built in

None of our apps has usage analytics. Each app’s privacy policy says what it stores, and where.

No gambling

Games are fun without a bet. When a game is traditionally played for money, we keep score another way. In Scat, a lost hand costs a strike, not a quarter.

Family friendly

We don’t make anything we’d hesitate to hand to our own kids.

Accessible by design

Accessibility is part of the design, not a pass at the end. Each app has a page that says what it supports.

Tested before it ships

Every app is tested before a release reaches you. Quality from the start.

Your privacy

This website has no advertising or analytics scripts. Its hosting service receives connection information, such as your IP address and the pages requested, to deliver the site. Fonts are served from this website.

The app privacy policies explain app storage, syncing, sharing, and optional diagnostics; they do not promise that all information is immune from loss or unauthorized access.
