One pair of hands,
sketch to release
Planning, screen design, engineering, store submission and post-launch operation are handled by the same people. Nothing is handed over, so no decision loses its reason.
Developing what the heart desires
We make apps the way a craftsman makes one piece in a workshop: start to finish. From a screen sketched on paper to each line of code, the store release and everything after it, the same hands do the work. Android and iOS are held to the same standard.
The name gongbang — workshop — describes the method, not the mood. Our material is code, not wood or metal.
Planning, screen design, engineering, store submission and post-launch operation are handled by the same people. Nothing is handed over, so no decision loses its reason.
Every feature ships with automated tests. The whole suite runs before each release, so behaviour that used to be correct does not quietly break.
Small screens, enlarged system fonts, no network at all. We verify those before submitting. Working only on a developer's machine does not count as finished.
Craftsmanship
A workshop is not a production line. We cap the number of projects open at once, build only as much as our hands can reach, and finish one before starting the next.
Screens begin as sketches on paper. Every element on a screen, the size of a button, the length of a sentence — each is chosen deliberately, which is why we remove features more often than we add them. The code is written the same way: not assembled from borrowed parts, but only what is needed. Years from now the people reopening it will be us, so we leave code that reads clearly.
Platforms
Google Play and the App Store differ in review criteria, privacy disclosure and advertising policy. Satisfying one does not satisfy the other, so we track both separately.

A role-play call app: a parent dials, and a character such as 이놈아저씨 or Santa answers and talks to the child. Parents can create their own character with their voice and a photo.
A calculator that turns multipack beer prices at Korean convenience stores and supermarkets into a price per 100ml. It counts coupon discounts and can fill in the fields from a photo of the price tag.
An endless runner: a boy who slept through his alarm races to school before the bell rings. Dodge obstacles, resist the distractions along the way and collect coins to see how far you can go.
A Korean word puzzle: every consonant and vowel is hidden behind a number, and the same number always means the same letter. Use that one clue to complete 1,000 Korean sentences. The puzzles are in Korean.
