Haplo, LLC makes native Swift apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Ten apps on the App Store since 2021.
Long
Haplo, LLC is an independent software company founded in 2021. It makes native Swift apps for Apple platforms with one consistent approach: do the work on the device wherever it can, collect only what an app needs, and offer a one-time purchase wherever possible. Its ten apps span focus (Barrier), on-device AI (Haplo AI), investing analysis (Haplo AI Investing), machine-learning tooling (Annot8), design (EasyLogo), documents (Markdown2PDF), fitness (Cinder), App Store tooling (ShipHappens), travel (Bilbo) and video (ScriptCam).

Four angles bigger than any one app. Review access and benchmarks are available for all of them.
On-device AI
Haplo AI runs open language models such as Qwen, Phi and Ministral, plus image generation and vision, on an iPhone or Mac. Turn on airplane mode and the models still work. There is no account, and no Haplo server ever receives the conversation. As Apple pushes on-device intelligence, Haplo is already shipping it.
Haplo AIGoblin Mode
Try to open a blocked app in Barrier’s Goblin Mode and a goblin roasts you by name, then makes you watch video ads before you’re allowed to “rot your brain.” The ads are the deterrent: users get friction that actually sticks.
BarrierFitness
Recovery insight and run tracking have become a stack of subscriptions. Cinder bets the Apple Watch already collects the data: workout logging, AI training chat, GPS routes and optional Strava sync, with health data that stays on the device and in Apple Health.
CinderTravel
Chatbot itineraries look great as text and fall apart on the ground: wrong neighbourhoods, closed museums, zigzag days. Bilbo plans day-by-day trips that make sense on a map, respects opening hours, and works offline mid-flight. Haplo never sees where you’re going.
BilboCinder: An Apple Watch Recovery App That Shows Its Calculations
Full-resolution icons and screenshots are on each app’s page and App Store listing.
On-device AI trip planner: builds full day-by-day itineraries on your iPhone.
Teleprompter and camera that follows your voice: it scrolls the script under the lens as you speak, and records in takes that become one video.
Screen Time and focus: blocks distracting apps with Apple’s Screen Time API. In Goblin Mode, a goblin roasts you by name and makes you watch ads before you can doomscroll.
Private AI assistant: open language models running on the iPhone and Mac.
Technical scoring for stocks: trend, momentum and volatility, with the reasoning shown.
Image annotation for machine learning at hotkey speed. Exports YOLO, TensorFlow and PyTorch.
Grid-based logo maker for people who aren’t designers.
Drag in Markdown, get a cleanly laid-out PDF.
Workout and run tracking: AI training chat, Apple Watch logging, GPS routes, Apple Health and optional Strava sync.
App Store screenshots, localization and uploads in one native Mac tool.
The Haplo logo is free to use in coverage. Please don’t alter the marks, imply endorsement, or use them for anything that isn’t about Haplo.
