Small studio.
Careful software.
FrogWood Labs builds the kind of apps you actually want on your phone — quiet, fast, and finished. No ads. No accounts you didn’t ask for. No dark patterns dressed up as features.
Out in the world
GiftFlow
Every gift. Every occasion. One calm list. A year-round gift planner that follows a gift from idea to given — including the part every other app forgets: the week it’s in transit.
- A real Arrived stage, so you know what’s actually in the house
- Budgets per person and per occasion, with the math done for you
- Photos and links that stick around instead of vanishing
- Christmas mode and a year-round Occasions mode — birthdays, weddings, anniversaries
In the workshop
The next one is being built the same way this one was: slowly, in public, and only shipped when it stops annoying us.

Three rules we don’t break
Most apps are built to capture you. These are built to get out of your way.
Works offline, works alone
Your data lives on your device. No mandatory account, no sync you didn’t ask for, nothing that stops working when a server goes down.
No ads, ever
Free tiers are generous because they’re meant to be used, not endured. Paid features are a one-time unlock, not a subscription treadmill.
Fixed, not shipped
Every feature starts as somebody’s complaint about an app they already use. We read the one-star reviews so you don’t have to write another one.
A one-person workshop with good taste
FrogWood Labs is the software arm of Brain Spanking Media, LLC — a small Minnesota company that has spent the better part of a decade making things for an audience rather than for a pitch deck.
That background shows up in the apps. They’re made the way a good video gets made: obsess over the details nobody will consciously notice, cut everything that doesn’t earn its place, and ship something that respects the person on the other end.
Say something useful
Bug reports, feature requests, partnership ideas, or a note that something is broken — all of it goes to the same inbox, and it’s read by the person who wrote the code.
