Introducing Polycorp
Creating your future favourite app
Polycorp is an after-hours product studio turning ambitious side projects into real products.
After hours
After hours is where the useful ideas survive.
On method
No board deck. No growth theatre. Just careful products, built properly.
Not a VC-backed studio. Not an agency. A focused product workshop built around taste, independence, and technology that earns its place.

Basefund
Most money apps want to judge you. This one just shows you.
Basefund is a shared financial surface for your household - a clear, neutral view of income, bills and what is left, planned from one place and rolled forward month to month.
- Months are snapshots.
- The plan rolls forward. Adjust when life changes.
- One household, one view.
- Invite a partner. Plan from the same surface.
- Income, committed, flex.
- What comes in, what is fixed, and what can move.
- Adjust, don’t judge.
- Plans change. That is the point.
Operating principles
- Own the stack.From silicon to interface. No rented foundations.
- Make it legible.If it can’t be read, it can’t be trusted.
- No rented memories.Your photos and files should outlive any company.
- Beautiful is a feature.Care is visible - and it is also functional.
- Quiet software wins.The best tools disappear into the work.
