Our secret to creating exceptional apps: be the user. As software developers, it’s tempting to create flashy, elaborate apps. But as users, we know that a familiar interface and carefully crafted features will make our apps a pleasure to use. We use our own apps every day and constantly refine them based on feedback from our users and our own high standards for great apps. Contrast was founded in 2008 as App Cubby. Since before there was an App Store, we’ve been building apps that feel like they’re made for human hands, just like Apple devices themselves. Our apps have been featured by Apple and just about every tech and lifestyle site, including MacStories, The Loop, CNN, Wired, GQ, Macworld, Lifehacker, The Verge, MacRumors, iMore, 9to5Mac, TechCrunch, ReadWrite, TUAW, The Next Web, Daring Fireball, and more.
