A software studio · Singapore
Alderloft is a small software studio in Singapore. We build useful, well-made apps for everyday life, and we keep them running for the long haul.
The name
What alder trees do, and what a loft was for. Together they say how we like to make things.
/ˈɔl.dɚ/ n. a pioneer tree
Alder is often the first thing to grow on bare or disturbed ground, near rivers and coastlines. It enriches the soil so other trees can take root after it. Its wood holds up in water, which is why boatbuilders have long used it.
Grows first on new ground. Makes room for what comes after.
/lɔft/ n. the room upstairs where the work happens
In old harbors, the sail loft was a long open floor where sails were cut and sewn by hand, one at a time, for boats that would go a long way.
Made by hand, one at a time. Built for the long voyage.
How we work
Like the alder on open ground, we begin with one useful thing and do it well. Small is how new ground gets broken.
Every app is cut and stitched with care, one at a time. We sweat the details you notice and the ones you never will.
We keep our products running for the long haul: maintained, improved, and there when you need them, years from now.
From the loft
Each product carries its own name. Alderloft is the quiet line underneath.
by Alderloft
A lifetime record of where you've been. Plan the next trip, keep every one you've taken, and split the costs with the people who came along.
The next app is on the floor. It'll launch when it's ready, not before.
Questions, feedback on one of our apps, or just want to say hello? We read every note.
