Who we are and what we make.
River Road Labs is a small independent studio. We make iOS apps, we draw coloring books, and we write records on nights and weekends.
Eleven apps are on the App Store today. None of them carry ads, subscriptions, or tracking.
Weather Gnome · Stock Gnome · Focus Gnome · Gem Gnome. Four apps that share one hand-painted watercolor world. A forecast, a market, a timer and a puzzle game, each with a gnome who has opinions about how your day is going.
ZoneCycle · Hard Time. Interval training by heart rate zone for the air bike, and a six-week bodyweight program with two coaches who never let you slide.
100 Kanji · Times Table 400. Your first hundred Japanese kanji, and multiplication carried past where most apps stop, all the way to 20×20.
WARDIAL · QSO Globe · Softly. A retro terminal listening for something out there, a ham radio logger with a greyline globe, and a set of classic bedtime stories read softly enough to sleep through.
Three watercolor coloring books in paperback, drawn from the same gnome world as the apps: The Weather Gnome Coloring Book, Gnomes Around the World, and Santa's Hawaiian Christmas.
We also put out music. Weather Gnome: Volume I is fourteen tracks of cozy Celtic folk from the same gnome, and there are concept records under other names, including one about Chester A. Arthur that nobody asked for.
Support questions, bug reports, and everything else go to hello@riverroadlabs.app. A person reads it.
