About
An independent software company.
Anwar Creative Studio makes software for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and the web. Our apps open on the answer you came for: what’s safe to spend, or which emails need you. We build our own products, support them for the long term, and don’t take on client work.
What we make
Artha opens on what’s safe to spend: what’s left for the month once the bills still to come are counted, and what that comes to each day. It never asks for a bank login, and it speaks 18 languages. It’s free on the web, and the app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch is in beta on TestFlight, on its way to the App Store. arthaapp.com
Corres is an email app that opens on what needs you: the emails that ask something of you, with the reason each one is there. Gmail, Outlook, iCloud Mail and other IMAP accounts share one inbox, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, in 29 languages. It’s in beta on TestFlight, on its way to the App Store. corres.app
We also make Tether, a Chrome extension for watching shows and movies in sync with someone far away. Chrome Web Store
Smaller pieces we make to try out an idea, like Doorsong, are on the Experiments page.
Why we started
The studio started with a habit: looking for an app, not loving any of the ones out there, and building the one we wanted. Artha began because budgeting apps showed every number except how much you can safely spend. Corres began because no email app answered the first question of the morning: which of these need me?
We’re independent and self-funded. There are no investors to answer to and no advertisers to please, so the apps answer only to the people who use them.
Leadership
Anwar Creative Studio was founded by Tamkin Anwar, who leads the company’s product, design and engineering. Everything we ship is designed, built and supported in-house.
Our commitments
- Your data isn’t the product. We don’t show ads, run trackers or sell what you do in our apps. They’re paid for by the people who use them, through Artha Pro and Corres Pro.
- Private where it counts. Artha never asks for a bank login, and a statement you import is read once and never kept. Corres reads your mail on your own device, so it’s never sent to us or to an AI company.
- Nothing changes behind your back. Artha’s assistant suggests changes, and only your tap saves them. Corres checks every summary against the email before you see it, and never sends a reply you haven’t approved. If something doesn’t go through, you’ll know.
- Native, down to the details. Both apps are written in SwiftUI. They follow your text size, keep working without a connection and work with VoiceOver. The everyday parts get the most care.
