About

Small studio, long memory.

Aipple started in 2002 as a college project: an online service that streamed live events so family members who couldn't be there could still watch.

The first apps went on the App Store in 2011: Banksy, then Talking Scotsman and Tour Scotland. All three have been rebuilt from the ground up in 2026, and London Eye and New York Cloud are back on the App Store, rebuilt too. Paris Eye and the After Hours stories are on the way.
