We craft digital products people actually use
Onywave is a small creative tech studio. Today that means Pintej — an iOS app that turns your photos into coloring pages, then lets you compose, color, and print them.
A small studio, shipping real products
Onywave is an independent creative tech studio based in France. We design and build digital products with a bias for craft — calm interfaces, solid engineering, and features people can feel.
We are not a high-volume agency. Our first product is Pintej: a coloring app that turns photos into pages you can compose in Studio Mode, color offline, and print at home. Selected collaborations are welcome when the fit is right.
The craft behind the products we ship
These are the skills we use on Pintej — and the ones we bring to a collaboration when the project is a good fit.
Product design
We shape the product itself — flows, visual language, and the details that make an app feel considered rather than assembled.
iOS applications
Native-feeling mobile experiences. Pintej is our current focus: photo-to-coloring, Studio Mode, and offline coloring on iPhone.
Web experiences
Marketing sites, waitlists, and community surfaces that match the product — not a generic landing page bolted on at the end.
Creative tools
Interfaces for making things: coloring, composition, print. Tools that stay out of the way and still feel powerful.
Crafted engineering
Solid web and app engineering with attention to performance, offline use, and interactions that hold up in real life.
From idea to launch
We ship. Design, build, iterate with early testers, and take the product to the store — without a twenty-person team.
One product, built with care
Pintej is the product we are shipping today. More will follow — we would rather show one real app than a gallery of placeholders.
Principles that guide everything we do
A small studio needs a short list of values. These are the ones that shape Pintej — and any project we take on.
Quality over quantity
We ship our own products and take on a limited number of collaborations. Every line of code, every pixel, every interaction is there on purpose.
Transparent partnership
You talk to the person building the thing. Open communication, honest feedback, and a clear view of where the work stands.
Built to last
We build with tomorrow in mind — maintainable, offline-friendly when it matters, and ready to evolve without a rewrite every year.
User-centric approach
Every decision is guided by the people who will actually use it. Beautiful design means nothing if it gets in the way of coloring a photo with your kids.
