BrakisApps builds focused, native iOS applications designed around a simple principle: software should work for you without collecting, tracking, or monetizing your personal information.
Every app we ship is built from the ground up with privacy as a non-negotiable constraint — not an afterthought added before launch. That means no analytics SDKs, no behavioral tracking, and no third-party data sharing. What happens on your device stays on your device.
Compute-intensive features — OCR, image parsing, data extraction — run entirely on your device using Apple's native frameworks. Your content never touches an external server.
We do not embed analytics SDKs, ad networks, or crash reporters that phone home without your knowledge. If we collect anything, it is explicit, minimal, and documented.
iCloud sync is opt-in and uses your personal iCloud account exclusively. We have no access to synced data. Disable it at any time and everything stays local.
We build narrow, well-executed tools — apps that solve one problem with clarity and stay out of your way. No feature bloat. No subscription to your attention.
Scan any recipe. Scale it instantly. Keep it private.
Point your camera at any recipe — a cookbook page, a handwritten card, a screenshot, or a PDF — and RecipeCast extracts every ingredient and step automatically. Then scale the recipe to any serving size in real time, with clean fractional quantities. Save recipes to your library and optionally share collections with family via your own iCloud account.
No account required. No recipe database we own. No ads. Your kitchen, your data.
BrakisApps is an independent iOS development studio. We are not a venture-backed startup optimizing for growth metrics. We are not building platforms designed to lock you in.
We build the apps we want to use — tools that respect the intelligence of the person holding the phone.
Every app ships as a fully native SwiftUI application, built to Apple's frameworks and standards. That means better performance, better accessibility, better privacy, and software that feels at home on your device — not ported from somewhere else.
Our development approach is deliberate. We take the time to get things right before they reach the App Store. When something ships under the BrakisApps name, it is complete.
