The studio
We build tools for a healthier relationship with technology.
Granadilla is an independent studio. Small, deliberate, founder-led.
Why we exist
The phone was supposed to be a tool.
The phone was supposed to be a tool. For most of us it became a habit, then a reflex, then a tic. The standard advice — willpower, screen time limits, brick phones for the weekend — treats the symptom without addressing what makes the picking-up so reflexive in the first place.
We're betting on a different approach: that compulsive technology use is fundamentally a problem of attention, and that better tools — ones that intervene gently, train attention quietly, and make presence the default — can change the relationship without requiring superhuman discipline. Every app we build sits under that thesis.
How we work
Three principles.
Small bets, fully built.
We'd rather ship two apps that genuinely work than ten that almost do. Each app gets the full attention of the studio until it stands on its own.
Behavioural over technical.
Most attention apps try to win by blocking. We try to win by training. The friction we build is psychological and social, not just software.
Independent by design.
Granadilla is self-funded and intends to stay that way unless the right partner appears. We're building for decades, not for the next funding round.
Get in touch
Open to the right conversations.
We're open to conversations with press, potential partners, and investors who share the thesis. The fastest way to reach us is hello@granadilla.studio.
