About

The Dolce Way

An independent iOS app studio. 19 apps on the App Store, built and published by one small operation in Finland.

Who publishes this

The Dolce Way is the trading name of DT Nova Tmi, a registered Finnish sole trader, business ID 3595452-5. Everything here — the apps and the writing — comes from that one operation. There is no content team and no outside contributors.

What we make

Small, single-purpose iPhone apps: hydration and fasting tracking, habit streaks, focus timers, workout and recovery tools, and a set of everyday utilities. Each one is built to do one thing well. No bloat, no dark patterns, and nothing tracking you across apps.

Apps ship when they are genuinely useful, not on a schedule. Some of them started as something we needed and could not find a decent version of.

How the blog works

The blog covers the same ground as the apps — hydration, fasting, habits, focus, training — plus notes from building and running the studio.

Two things are worth being explicit about, because plenty of app blogs are not:

  • We disclose our own apps. When an article mentions or links an app we publish, a disclosure box appears at the top of that article saying so. We have a commercial interest in those apps and you should read the piece with that in mind.
  • We do not claim tests we did not run. Where we compare other apps, we describe what they publicly offer. If we have not personally put an app through its paces, we do not say we have.

Health and nutrition articles are general information, not medical advice. For anything that affects your health, talk to a qualified professional.
