What is Apps 4 lifes?
A one-person app studio in Norway. Sixteen small, paid apps for everyday life, one in each store category, plus custom apps built for small trade and property businesses.
Sixteen apps. No ads. One maker.
Small, sharp tools for ordinary days — each one designed on its own terms, paid for once, and left alone to do its job.
Most apps are free because you are the product. These cost $9.99 because you are the customer.
No advertising. No tracking for resale. No subscription that quietly renews for years after you stopped opening the thing. You pay once, the app works, and that is the whole arrangement.
The exceptions, stated plainly: Tilbudsappen is a tool a trade business earns money with, and it is sold as a subscription. BabyBloom and Riverfishing are free, with optional Plus and Pro upgrades. Everything else on this page is $9.99, once.
It is a smaller business than the alternative. That is the point — sixteen apps is what one person can build properly, and building them properly is the only advantage a one-person studio has.
The sixteen
One app in each store category. Point at any of them and the page takes on its colours.

Sixteen identities, not one template
A meal planner and a wedding-speech writer have nothing in common except me. Giving them a shared typeface and palette would have been faster, and it would have made all sixteen look mass-produced — which is exactly what a store full of free apps already looks like.
So each one gets its own colour, its own type, its own temperament. The only thing they share is a single line at the bottom of the first screen.
Build one with me
The same work, for your business. One project at a time, two weeks a month.
If you run a small trade or property business, you already know which part of the job wastes your evenings. Quoting from the van. Photographing work nobody logs. Invoicing from a kitchen table at nine at night.
I build the app that removes it — designed, tested, and published to both stores under your own name.

Good to know
What is the idea behind it?
Most apps are free because you are the product. These cost $9.99 once because you are the customer. No advertising, no tracking for resale, and no subscription that quietly renews after you stopped using the app. You pay once, the app does its job, and that is the whole arrangement.
What does “connecting people” mean?
It is our motto: apps4lifes.com — connecting people. The apps are made for the moments people share: a wedding speech, a new baby, a trip, a household’s week of dinners, a small firm and its customers. A good tool makes those moments easier and never gets in between the people in them.
Who answers when I get in touch?
I do: Per-vidar Johansen, founder, designer and developer. Every message through the form above and every phone call reaches the person who built the app, so you never have to explain yourself twice.
How quickly will I hear back?
Within two working days, and usually sooner, on weekdays, Norwegian time. The Chataptor answers straight away, at any hour.
What do the apps cost?
Most are $9.99, paid once. I AM Wealthy is $9.99 plus VAT. BabyBloom is free, with an optional Plus upgrade from $5.99 a month. Tilbudsappen is kr 129 a month for trade businesses.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. Buy directly from us and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, no reason needed: choose Refund in the form. Bought in the App Store or on Google Play? Then the store handles refunds under its own rules. Full details are on the Refunds page.
When can I get the apps?
Seven can be used in your browser today. I Do Speeches, PackRight, Carefit Pro and BabyBloom arrive in the App Store and on Google Play on 1 November 2026, Riverfishing on Google Play after Google's testing period, and the other nine on 1 January 2027.
What happens to my data?
No advertising, and nothing about you is sold on. Most of the apps keep your data on your own device. Each app explains what it stores and where.
Can you build an app for my business?
Yes, one client at a time. A typical project is around $6,000 excluding VAT, delivered in about two weeks and published under your own brand. Send a project brief to start.
