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 apple logo dates from then too: it was modelled nearly 25 years ago in a trial copy of 3ds Max, and it still blinks at the top of every page.
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. London Eye and New York Cloud are back on the App Store, rebuilt too, and Paris Eye has joined them. The After Hours stories are on the way.
