Small, private apps that take your work seriously.
Tiny Serious makes focused iPhone and iPad apps with no ads, no tracking, and no cloud lock-in. The tools are small on purpose — and your data stays on your device.
The apps
Two focused tools for the iPhone and iPad. Both stay local, both stay quiet.
Serious Scanner
Private offline PDF scannerScan documents into clean PDFs in color or black & white. Files stay on your device unless you choose to share them. No ads, no tracking, no subscription.

Serious Notebook
Private offline handwriting notebookWrite with Apple Pencil, import PDFs and scanned pages, and personalize notebook covers. Every stroke stays in the app sandbox — never used to train AI.
notebook.tinyserious.comHow we build.
Three principles shape every Tiny Serious app.
No surveillance
No analytics, no telemetry, no ad networks, no AI training. Apps that mind their own business.
No subscriptions for utilities
A scanner or a notebook should not require an ongoing plan. Buy once, keep using it.
