Crack the feed. Keep the users.

TIO STUDIOS is an app studio. We make our own apps, then run what sells them: launches, posts, creators, AI videos, ads.

How we work

  1. No sign-off

    Ideas ship the week we have them. Real users get a working build within days, and their taps, shares and payments decide what stays.

  2. Pick the mark

    We pick one person before we pick a feature: what they scroll, what they would pay for, what they would screenshot. Every build and every post goes after that person until we have them.

  3. The feature is the ad

    Whatever people share inside the app becomes the first frame of the campaign. The ad that converts tells us what to build next. One team runs both sides, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Processes

Every app moves through four stages, one light each. Six processes run inside them, each with its own tools.

  1. 01

    Aim

    Product and marketing

    We pick the target customer, the promise and the one feature worth talking about. One page, one customer, one promise.

    Runs: Product thinking

  2. 02

    Build

    Product

    We build in short cycles and ship a working version every week. The shareable moment goes in first.
