An independent software company.
Hiroo Studio is a software company based in Istanbul. It designs, develops and publishes its own consumer apps for iPhone, Mac and the web, and does not take on client work.
Each product is run as an independent business with its own users, roadmap and support. What the portfolio shares is a standard: a clearly defined purpose, minimal data collection and long-term maintenance.
The company takes its name from Hiroo, a quiet residential neighbourhood in Tokyo. It was founded in 2026 by Arda İpek, a full-stack software engineer.
