The Workbench app
Our first app, built the way we build for our clients: fast, private and a pleasure to use. Launching soon on iOS and Android.
Built to be used every day
Small on your phone, big on care
We started Workbench Software to make the kind of apps we wanted on our own phones: quick, quiet and honest about what they do with your data. This is the first one.
It is written natively for each platform, so it feels like it belongs on an iPhone and on an Android phone alike, and it is tested on the cheap handsets as carefully as the expensive ones.
- Works offline, syncs when you are back online
- No account needed to get started
- Supports larger text sizes and screen readers
- No adverts, and no selling of your data
What you can expect
Six things we would not launch without
The standards every Workbench app is held to, starting with this one.
Fast
Opens instantly and stays responsive, however long you have been using it.
Private
Your information stays on your device unless you choose to sync or share it.
Accessible
Works with VoiceOver and TalkBack, larger text and reduced motion.
Offline first
Everything works on a train or in a basement. Changes sync when you are back in range.
Easy on the battery
No background tracking and no busy work while the app is closed.
Updated often
Regular free updates through the stores, with release notes written for people.
