Uptime Ventures

Independent app studio — New York

Apps that earn their place on your phone.

Uptime Ventures LLC is a New York-based independent studio. We design, build, and ship our own consumer apps for iOS and Android — a small team with high craft, zero bloat, and no dark patterns.

The studio

A small studio with a simple model.

Uptime Ventures is the independent app studio of founder Sol Hedaya. We take apps from idea to the App Store ourselves — design, engineering, and release under one roof — and we only ship things we’d use every day.

No agency layers, no outsourced roadmaps. Every app we make starts from a real annoyance in our own lives — jet lag that ruins the first two days of a trip, or standing in front of the closet wondering what to wear for a run in 40-degree wind — and gets built until it genuinely solves it.

We keep the portfolio deliberately small so each app gets our full attention: thoughtful design, careful engineering, and updates driven by the people who actually use them.

What we’re building

Two apps. Zero filler.

Each one exists because we wanted it to exist. Here’s what’s on the bench right now.

JetLagKiller

Your flight lands at 6 AM local. Your body thinks it’s midnight. JetLagKiller builds a personalized adaptation plan from your actual flight details — easing you into the new time zone before you even board, with guidance that follows you through the journey.

  • Personalized shift schedules built around your itinerary
  • Light-exposure timing grounded in sleep science
  • In-flight guidance for the journey itself

RunWear

Check the weather, then check your closet. RunWear recommends exactly what to wear for your run based on live weather, temperature, and time of day — with personalized outfit imagery so you can see the kit before you lace up.

  • Outfit picks driven by live weather conditions
  • Temperature and time-of-day aware recommendations
  • Personalized imagery — see your kit before you run

How we work

Shipped, not slideware.

Four principles run every app we make — from the first sketch to the store listing.

01

Small by design

One focused team takes every app from sketch to store. No handoffs, no telephone game, no diffusion of responsibility.

02

Design-led

If an interaction doesn’t feel inevitable, it doesn’t ship. Craft isn’t a phase — it’s the whole process.

03

No dark patterns

No bloat, no manipulative upsells, no data harvesting. We earn a spot on your phone — we don’t trick our way there.

04

Built to be used

We dogfood everything. If we wouldn’t open it daily ourselves, it goes back to the bench until we would.
