Digital Doctor Ltd — independent iOS studio
We diagnose bloated apps.
Then we build the cure.
Subscriptions have crept into corners of the App Store that never needed them. Digital Doctor builds small, focused iOS apps that do one job well — priced fairly, built natively, and free of the bloat that's become the industry default.
From subscription fatigue to a steady, fair price
Diagnosis
The App Store has a pricing problem.
A growing share of well-loved apps now charge recurring, often weekly, fees for features that used to be a single purchase — or that cost the developer almost nothing to keep running. The result is a quiet tax on apps people already like, billed monthly whether they remember it or not.
Treatment plan
Lean apps. Fair pricing. No dark patterns.
Digital Doctor builds natively for iOS, one focused app at a time. Where a feature genuinely costs us to run, we charge a fair, transparent price for it. Where it doesn't, we don't put a subscription wall in front of it just because the market will bear one.
In development
What we're building right now.
Both apps below are in active development. We'll share release details as they're ready.
Productivity
A focused writing assistant
Genre-specific editing help for iOS — built for the writing Apple's own tools don't cover, without a subscription for something this lightweight.
Utility
A fast scan & PDF tool
On-device scanning, OCR, and simple PDF handling — the everyday utility work that shouldn't need a monthly fee to use.
