Studio · est. 2014 · Open for new orbits

We build fun
software for
real people.

Exosphere is a small, joyful studio shipping personal, exciting software — automation, design and experiences that put a smile on the face of whoever opens them.

01 · What we do

Four disciplines, one studio.

We don’t divide design from engineering — every project ships with the same hands that drew it. The result is software with a heartbeat.

— 01

Automation

Internal tools, integrations and quietly-running services that take the boring out of your day.

— 02

Design

Interfaces, identity systems and motion — drawn with the care of someone who is going to use them every day.

— 03

Software

Web apps, desktop tools and the odd CLI. Boringly reliable on the inside, delightful on the outside.

— 04

Experiences

Installations, microsites, weird little websites — the kind of work people screenshot and send to a friend.

02 · Mantra
We build fun, personal and exciting software, with many years behind us in automation, design and a drive for joyful experiences. Software exists to put smiles on people’s faces.
The studio, in one breath
03 · Services

Engagements we like.

From a one-week sprint to a multi-year build. Each engagement starts with a conversation and a clear scope — never a 40-page proposal.

/ 001 Product design End-to-end design from kickoff to launch. Research, IA, UI, motion and a built prototype. 6–14 weeks
/ 002 Automation systems Internal tooling, scripts and integrations that quietly run your operation in the background. 2–8 weeks
/ 003 Build & ship A small team building your product. Full-stack, native or web — staying through launch and beyond. Ongoing
/ 004 Studio residency Embed with us for a sprint. We pair, we ship, your team leaves with the keys and the muscle memory. 2 weeks
/ 005 Joyful experiments A weird microsite, a launch toy, an interactive press kit. We love these. Bring us yours. 1–3 weeks
04 · Selected work

A few things we’re proud of.

Real projects, anonymised where they need to be. Ask us for the long version over coffee — we have stories.

Helios Control

A monitoring console for a fleet of off-grid power stations. We turned a 14-tab dashboard into a single, calm room you can run from your phone.
