Shape the idea
Clarify the user, the problem and the clearest useful first version before committing to a large build.
Independent product studio · Hong Kong
Thoughtful software, shaped around your business.
Bucket Apps helps founders and growing businesses turn early ideas and complex workflows into dependable web apps, mobile apps and internal systems.
What we do
From a complex workflow to software people can rely on.
Build the product
Design and develop a focused web or mobile app, with decisions kept close to the people doing the work.
Improve what exists
Untangle a difficult workflow, refine an interface or add a well-defined capability to an existing product.
From our workshop
Products we’re building ourselves.
These are works in progress, shared openly. Building our own products keeps our advice practical and our standards close to home.
Anymonth
An iPhone calendar widget you can browse through without opening the app.
Move through as many months as you need from the Home Screen, jump to a date by typing and create an event from a calendar tap. It works entirely on-device, without accounts, tracking or analytics.
MemeShelf
A private, account-free library for the memes and reaction images scattered across your devices.
MemeShelf stores originals on your device and recognises text inside images, making the right reaction easier to find when you need it. Optional encrypted nearby sync moves the library between your own devices without relying on a cloud account.
How we work
A clear process with practical checkpoints.
-

Understand
Start with the problem, the people affected and what a useful outcome would look like.
-
02
Shape
Turn the idea into a focused plan, prototype or first release that can be evaluated honestly.
-
03
Build
Work in visible increments, keeping trade-offs and progress understandable throughout.
-
04
Learn
Put it in front of real users, then improve what matters instead of guessing at everything upfront.
