Independent app studio
Apps built on an iron frame.
Ironframe Studio makes mobile apps for iOS and Android: useful every day, careful with your data and built to last.
Our first app
Ironleaf
A private notes app with a hidden, encrypted vault. Capture ideas by text, voice or scan, and keep the things that matter locked away on your device.
Hidden vault
Encrypted on-device storage for private notes, photos and files.
Quick capture
Get a thought down in seconds, from anywhere.
Voice notes
Record ideas when typing isn’t an option.
Document scanner
Turn paper into clean, searchable scans.
How we build
Made to be used every day.
Private by default
Your data stays on your device unless you choose otherwise. No ads, and we never sell your information.
Built to last
Solid engineering underneath, so the app stays fast and reliable as it grows.
Simple to use
Clean design that gets out of the way, so you can get things done in seconds.
About the founder
From building people to building apps.
I’m Don O’Neal. I spent years coaching people on discipline, resilience and following through when it gets hard. Ironframe Studio brings that same mindset to the apps we make.
Every app we make gets a strong frame underneath: thoughtful design, careful engineering and real respect for the people using it.
