Bodge Job — fun, simple apps for everyday life

Independent app developer

Small apps. Big ideas.
Zero corporate nonsense.

We make playful, straightforward apps for families, friends and everyday life — the sort of apps you can open and understand without a training course.

Simple to use Made for real people Fun first Questionable engineering*

*The engineering is less questionable than the name suggests.

Available apps

Things we’ve bodged together.

No giant ecosystems. No “revolutionary platforms”. Just focused apps built around ideas we genuinely thought would be fun.

Findsy app icon Available

Photo challenge game

Findsy

See it. Find it. Snap it.

Turn walks, holidays and ordinary afternoons into a race. One player sets the challenge, everyone else goes hunting, and the quickest successful finder takes the glory.

Built for families and friends who like a little competition with their fresh air.

Just Three Words app icon Available

Fast party word game

Just Three Words

Three words. That’s all you’ve got.

Just Three Words is a quick-fire game of clues, guesses and very limited vocabulary. Describe the answer, explain the idea or get your team onto the right track — but every clue has to fit into just three words.

The rules take seconds to learn. Finding three genuinely useful words is the difficult bit. Perfect for families, friends, parties and those moments when someone says, “What shall we do?”

About us

Apps without the boardroom.

Bodge Job Apps is a small independent developer building straightforward apps around ideas we actually want to use ourselves.

We’re not trying to build the next enormous social network, invent a new form of subscription, or add seventeen features nobody asked for. The goal is simpler: make something enjoyable, make it easy to understand and make sure it works.

Most of our ideas start with games, challenges and little experiences that are better when other people are involved. We build, test, discover what we’ve accidentally broken, fix it, then keep improving from real feedback.

The Bodge Job method

  1. 01Have an idea.Usually at an inconvenient time.
  2. 02Build it.Try not to break anything important.
  3. 03Test it.Discover the things we definitely broke.
  4. 04Fix it.Properly. Mostly.
  5. 05Release it.Surprisingly functional.

Our philosophy

Does this really need to be complicated?

Usually, no. We like apps that make sense when you open them. Simple idea. Clear purpose. Good fun. No need to turn your fridge into a social network.

What’s next?

More bodges are inevitable.

Findsy and Just Three Words are only the start. More games, family apps and useful little creations are already finding their way onto the workbench.
