57 Monkeys

Small, sharp software. Built to last.

57 Monkeys is an independent software studio in California. In-house products first, select client work alongside — thoughtfully crafted, precisely shipped.

The work

Software first. Monkeys always.

A small studio shipping its own products — and building yours with the same care.

In-house products

Apps designed, built, and run under one roof. Small, focused, thoughtfully crafted — and built to last.

Custom Engineering

Select contract work: product engineering, prototypes, and technical advisory — from builders who ship their own software.

Monkey Business

The studio's own lab: developer tools, experiments, and ideas that have to be built to be judged. Occasionally a game escapes the lab.

Principles

How the work gets done

Skill shows in the work, not the talk. Small team, sharp tools, deliberate changes.

Craft

Depth over spectacle. Study the problem until the solution is obvious, then build only what's needed.

Precision

Small, deliberate releases — reviewed, tested, delivered. Nothing ships that wouldn't stand up to scrutiny.

Adaptability

Resourceful by habit, strategic by choice. When the facts change, the plan changes — quickly and without drama.

Say hello

Got a project? Curious about the monkeys?

Email's the fastest banana. Every message gets read by an actual monkey — and answered.
