About Deep Dark Abyss
Creating Apps with Soul
Deep Dark Abyss Productions is a small, independent development studio focused on creating high-quality educational, puzzle, and creative apps with soul. We believe technology can be a tool for exploration — both intellectual and spiritual — and our work reflects that philosophy.
Our current releases — SFSymView, Sextet, and Riɣi — showcase our commitment to empowering users and challenging minds. Whether you're an iOS developer working with SF Symbols, testing your vocabulary skills in word puzzles, or finding peace through meditative orb-popping, our goal is to make every interaction meaningful.
Our Approach to Software
We believe in software that respects you. That's why our apps are fully functional from day one — no ads cluttering your experience, no artificial limitations or "premium" features locked behind paywalls, and no subscription treadmills.
Instead, we use a donation-based model. If you find value in our apps and want to support continued development, you can make a voluntary contribution through in-app purchases. This keeps our apps clean, focused, and user-first while allowing those who appreciate our work to help us keep creating.
We're inspired by the philosophy of shareware and ethical software development — give users the full experience, trust them to support what they value, and never compromise the user experience for monetization.
Looking ahead, we have exciting projects in development including Hebrew Flash for Biblical Hebrew learning, Abyss Sudoku for puzzle enthusiasts, and several other innovative apps that blend productivity, wellness, and creative expression.
Our Values
Quality Over Quantity
We focus on creating fewer, better apps rather than flooding the market with mediocre experiences.
Privacy Over Tracking
Your data stays on your device. We don't track, collect, or sell your personal information.
Creativity Over Conformity
We dare to be different, creating unique experiences that stand out from the crowd.
Donation Over Exploitation
We trust users to support what they value rather than manipulating them with ads or subscriptions.
Mindfulness Over Speed
We take time to craft thoughtful, meaningful experiences rather than rushing to market.
Community Over Competition
We believe in building connections and fostering learning communities around our apps.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we're exploring the depths of wisdom, wonder, and the world within.
