Vato Apps

Small, focused apps for the parts of life that deserve less friction.

Vato Camera

Photos that look like you took them.

A camera that steps around iPhone’s heavy processing, keeping texture, contrast, and color closer to a compact point-and-shoot. No UI is the best UI.

Minimal capture controls · Natural detail · Point-and-shoot character

STRIDE

Every walk leaves something worth keeping.

A pedometer for iPhone and Apple Watch that turns movement into clear routes, useful records, and Walk Cards worth sharing without turning the day into a dashboard.

GPS route maps · Shareable Walk Cards · Editorial complications

Country Days

Know exactly where the year went.

Count the days spent in each country, keep travel records in one place, and check visa or tax thresholds without rebuilding the calendar from memory.

Automatic day counts · Threshold reminders · Clear travel history

Solo Shoot

Be in the frame without rushing back.

Set an interval, put the phone down, and walk into position. Capture stills at your pace, with optional video running alongside them when movement matters too.

Flexible intervals · Stills and video · Hands-free sessions

Details that earn their place.

A complication that reads like a good headline.

A photo recipe with fewer decisions.

A country count with the dates behind it.

One house. A few useful things.

Vato Apps starts with a specific annoyance and removes everything that does not help. Each app is designed for Apple platforms, built in small loops, and revised until the interface feels obvious.
