Small ships. Real problems.

Outer Rim Labs is a one-person app studio in Ireland. Each app does one job well, keeps your data yours, and costs less than the coffee you drink while using it. No bank logins. No ads. No trackers.

The fleet

Three ships. Callsigns in the hangar; a proper name the day one reaches the app stores.

Red Three

Sunward — your whole picture. One place.

A net-worth tracker. Bank balances, stocks, crypto, gold, property and pension in one number, minus what you owe. Prices update themselves. Your history writes itself from day one. It understands Irish taxes: capital gains, exit tax, the eight-year clock on ETFs.

No bank logins. End-to-end encrypted: a key only you hold, a blob we cannot read.

Sunward: Net Worth Tracker — the first ship with a name.

Field testLaunching in Ireland first
Red Two

Drop in a statement. See your spending.

An expense tracker fed by receipts and bank PDFs. Revolut, N26, AIB, Bank of Ireland, any bank that can export a statement. It reads the documents you already have instead of asking for the keys to your account.

No bank connections, ever. Statements deleted after reading.

Red One

How good was that plate?

Food quality from a photo of your meal, not calories. A plate score through the nutrition lens you choose, colour and plant variety, and weekly notes on what your week was missing.

Photos scored, then deleted. Your meals never leave with us.

Public name coming.

How we build

A one-person studio can't outspend anyone. It can outcare them.

One job, done well

Every ship has one mission. No feature lists that need a tour. If a thing doesn't serve the job, it doesn't ship.

Your data is yours

Servers in the EU. Nothing sold, nothing tracked. Export everything in one tap, delete everything in one tap, and we mean delete.

Honest pricing

A fair yearly price, said up front. No fake countdowns, no dark patterns, no "limited time". If it isn't worth it, don't pay.

Hangar log

Building in public, plainly. The numbers, the fixes, and what got scrapped.

  • Red Three has a name: Sunward. First ship outside the hangar — a closed beta on Google Play, eight builds in a week, every one of them tested on the founder's own numbers first. The icon is two suns on a horizon; the name was checked against both stores and the EU trade-mark register before anyone typed it into a listing.
  • End-to-end encryption shipped in Red Three. The server now holds one scrambled blob per person and cannot open it; history is written on the phone. Three days of build, one bug found by having two accounts on one handset. The founder's own numbers went first.
  • Red Three's maiden flight is in daily field test. End-to-end encryption is being built in before anyone else gets a login.
  • Two-factor sign-in shipped. The founder's own bank statement became the test case for the mortgage maths.
  • Five ideas validated, two scrapped. A calorie-counting app was killed before a line of code: that market closed in 2025.
  • Outer Rim Labs founded. First ship scaffolded from a spreadsheet that had been doing the job for years.
