NxtDuo · an independent studio of two

Apps that look after the people you love.

We build calm, honest apps for family life: reminders that keep you on time, bedtime stories in a parent’s own voice, a brushing coach for the kids, a private place for your thoughts. Each one is made for our own family first, then shared with yours.

The studio

Two people. One studio.

NxtDuo is a small, independent studio making apps for families everywhere. We build things we want for our own family first: a reminder app because we kept missing renewals, bedtime stories for when we are away, a brushing coach for the kids.

With great power comes great responsibility.
