We build apps we would trust
A small independent studio in England. Every app we make is ad-free and keeps only what it needs to work, with no investors to please and no growth targets to hit.
Why we started
We are a small independent studio in England. We started Lydex because the apps we wanted did not seem to exist: a proper board game that did not interrupt itself with adverts, and spelling practice that did not quietly file a child's progress on somebody else's server.
So we built them. Nine Men's Morris Through Time and SpellStar are on the App Store and Google Play, and SpellStar is still tested weekly against the only benchmark that matters, which is whether a child asks to play it again. More are on the way: see all our apps.
Four rules we will not bend
- Privacy first
-
Data that stays on the device cannot be leaked, sold or subpoenaed. So it stays on the device.
- No adverts
-
Our apps are funded by the people who use them, in plain sight: one fair unlock for Morris, clear plans for SpellStar. Attention is not a currency here.
- Useful for free
-
Free tiers are genuinely playable, not demos with the fun sawn off.
- Small and slow
-
A small team, taking the time to get details right, answering our own support email.
