Independent app studio

What you record today is worth more later.

Downgate Labs builds ad-free apps on one bet: what takes a second to capture now — a daily photo, a weekly check-in, a medical receipt — is exactly what you cannot reconstruct later.

The apps

Worth writing down.

Each app takes one input that is easy to capture and easy to lose, then makes it useful months or years from now. Pick the one that matches what you are trying to keep.

Lapser Daily photo timelapse

One photo a day becomes a video worth watching.

Shoot a face, a physique, a child, a garden, or a renovation. Lapser aligns every frame on your device so the subject stays put, then compiles the series into a video you can actually share.

  • Automatic on-device alignment tuned per subject, plus a ghost overlay while you shoot
  • Attach weight, measurements, and milestones, then burn them in as video overlays
  • Optional backup to your own Google Drive or iCloud — never to our servers
  • Free to download
  • No account needed
  • Android · iPhone

The mirror can't tell you if it's working. Prevyu can.

Progress hides in plain sight — one photo a week feels like nothing until six months of them are lined up side by side. But lighting, bloat, and a bad angle make any single photo lie, which is why eyeballing a mirror or a camera roll leaves you guessing. Prevyu smooths past that noise into a Progress Score you can actually trust, tracks measurements a mirror never could, and tells you the one thing to change next instead of leaving you to figure it out.

  • A smoothed Progress Score and body composition trend that filters out week-to-week noise
  • Shoulder-to-waist, chest-to-waist, waist-to-hip, and waist-to-height
  • Coach and Bulk-or-Cut guidance that turns a check-in into one focused next step
  • Free to check in
  • Photos never train AI models

Prevyu features and pricing

Prevyu is a general wellness app for adults. Photo-based readings are estimates, not clinical measurements.

HSA Hoard HSA receipt vault

Every HSA receipt, filed and ready to reimburse years from now.

The HSA shoebox strategy only works if you can still find the receipt. HSA Hoard scans medical receipts, pulls out the provider, date, and amount, and keeps a running total of what you have not reimbursed yet.

  • AI receipt capture that fills in provider, date, and amount from a photo
  • A running unreimbursed total, so you always know what you could withdraw
  • CSV and PDF exports, plus backup to your own Google Drive
  • First 10 receipts free
  • Local-first storage
  • Android

How we build

Three rules we hold ourselves to.

If we are asking you to record something for years, the software has to be worth trusting for years. These are the commitments that follow from that.

01

Simple enough to actually use

One job per app means no settings screen to dig through and no features you didn't ask for — just the thing you opened it for.

02

Your data is never trapped

Export a timelapse as video, receipts as CSV or PDF, and back everything up to your own Google Drive or iCloud. Stop using the app and you still keep everything you put into it.

03

No surprises about where data goes

Work stays on your device unless there's a real reason to send it out — and when we do, we name the provider and say why. No ads, ever, on any plan.
