Independent software studio

We make weird,
useful software.

Thoughtful tools for everyday problems, and a few strange ideas we can’t leave alone.

The people behind the apps

Small team.
Long attention span.

Khaos Studios is a small, self-funded team of engineers building the tools we wish existed.

We follow our curiosity, sweat the small details, and make software we use ourselves. Useful comes first. A little weird is welcome.

What we stand for

Care, in the details.

It starts with an itch.

Synthscape started because one of us wanted to watch a playlist on a second monitor. Delve started because disk tools kept counting shared files twice. If a problem won’t leave us alone, we tend to build something about it.

We notice the 4 ms.

We spent a week on a 300 ms transition. Then we rewrote an audio pipeline because it was 4 ms too slow to feel right. Most people wouldn’t notice. We use these apps every day, so we do.

Nobody signs off.

No investors, no quarterly targets, no committee deciding an app about your remaining weeks is too strange. We cover the costs and choose what to build. When we get something wrong, we fix it.

Reach the team. We answer.

Questions, bugs, or something you wish existed.
