Kertive Studio designs and ships native iOS apps focused on everyday utility and quiet, considered design. We build small, intentional products, and refine them closely with the people who use them.
A small studio, focused on the craft.
Kertive Studio is an independent app studio building thoughtful, beautifully crafted mobile products. We work on things we would want to use ourselves: small, calm, and built with care.
Our work spans consumer travel tools and AI-powered business intelligence for small merchants. Different audiences, same commitment to clarity, restraint, and a design language that respects the reader.
Not a manifesto, just how we make decisions. Each principle costs us something, usually speed or scope. That's the point.
We'd rather ship one feature that reads like a finished sentence than five that feel like a draft. Fewer surfaces, better decisions on each.
Restraint over ornament. Type, hierarchy, and rhythm do most of the work before any color, motion, or effect enters the room.
We build on Apple platforms because the details compound. Haptics, focus, live activities, on-device intelligence, all of it adding up into an experience the user can feel.
Every product ships alongside a small group of real users. Their language, not ours, ends up in the interface.
Two products, live and in development. Different audiences, travelers and small merchants, bound by the same standard of craft.
A smart trip planner for people who plan with intention. Day-by-day itineraries, outfit planning, and packing lists in one beautifully designed app.
An AI business-intelligence tool for Indonesian SME traders. It turns everyday sales data into clear, actionable insight owners can act on the same day.
Kertive is a one-person studio, by design. Fewer hand-offs, tighter feedback, and a single point of accountability for the work.
Solo founder · iOS engineer · Product designer
Apple Developer Academy alum based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Rudi founded Kertive Studio to design and ship the kinds of apps he wanted to use himself: small, calm, and built with care.
Before Kertive, he moved between design and engineering roles. That mix still shapes how the studio works today: one person carrying an idea from first sketch to shipped release, without translation loss along the way.
Questions, partnerships, press, or just curious about what we're building. We read every message.
