About the studio
A small studio, three quiet apps,
one shared rule.
LaunchRoom is run by Onur Cagan and a tiny crew of collaborators. Every app we ship has to clear the same bar: it must respect your attention more than it asks for it. MindRot reduces screen time. Await lets you sit with anticipation. Today I Am gives you a single calm affirmation, every day.
No engagement loops to game you. No streaks to shame you. No behavioural data sold to anyone. We succeed when you use the apps less, not more.
