Independent App Studio

Modern creative apps,
built with care.

Paper Astronaut is an independent studio that ships thoughtful Mac and iPhone applications—tight in scope, strong on clarity, and respectful of your time and privacy.

Who we are

We approach product development as a craft: one clear problem at a time, interfaces that stay out of the way, and features that earn their place on your home screen. Whether you are managing health data you need to trust or rebuilding focus in a distracting day, we aim for tools that feel calm, direct, and honest.

Our work sits at the intersection of utility and care—software that supports real routines without turning your life into a leaderboard.

Products

Two apps, each purpose-built
for a specific kind of everyday need.

NeuroHalt app icon

NeuroHalt

When your mind wanders, you still get to come back—on purpose.

NeuroHalt is an iPhone app that helps you notice when attention has drifted, ground yourself for a moment, then check in honestly: are you back on your task? It is built around a simple interrupt → hold → yes/no flow—not streaks or scores, just a clear path back to focus.

Why people use it. You are not broken when you lose focus; that is normal. NeuroHalt gives you a gentle but definite way to pause, reset, and choose again—so "I'm fine" becomes "I'm actually here," on your terms.
  • One-tap reset — start the sequence whenever you need a real pause.
  • Remind yourself — optional timer and notification for a rhythm that fits your day.
  • Your task, your list — tie resets to a focus task and simple action items.
  • Sound and feel you pick — themes, ambient sounds, and haptics for a physical anchor.
  • Yours alone — session data stays on your device.
  • No gamification — honest counters, no streaks, no scores.

BP-VYTALS

Blood pressure tracking, built for real life.

Log fast, see trends clearly, and share clean reports—all on your iPhone, with your data staying on your device.

BP-VYTALS is a dedicated blood pressure journal for iPhone: one place to record readings, spot patterns over time, and walk into appointments with something your clinician can actually use. The name blends vitals with vigilance—because small, consistent habits around BP matter more than a single number on a screen.

  • Multi-person profiles — track the whole household without mixing histories.
  • Quick, detailed logging — systolic, diastolic, pulse, posture, arm, context, and notes.
  • Trends at a glance — native charts to visualize readings over time.
  • Doctor-ready export — PDF and CSV for visits, referrals, or your records.
  • Daily reminders — scheduled nudges so logging becomes routine.
  • Privacy-first — data stays local on your device.
  • Simple ownership — lifetime license, one purchase, no subscription.

BP-VYTALS is a personal tracking tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat. Always follow advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
