The Little Bakery — independent app studio, Germany
The Little Bakery is an independent app studio in Germany building native macOS, iOS and iPadOS apps for developers, photographers and creators — three are on the App Store today, each one free or a single one-time purchase.
No account, no newsletter wall, no tracking — straight to the App Store.
Three apps you can download today — Reel Brand runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac from one App Store listing, so it has a page for each. All of them are free to start using.
Stop pasting private API responses into a random website just to find the one broken bracket.
Put your logo in exactly the same spot on every clip, without opening a video editor.
Watermark a whole folder of client videos in one pass instead of one clip at a time.
Pick the keepers from a 900-shot card without importing anything into a photo library first.
Every app is distributed only through the App Store — reviewed by Apple, sandboxed, and updated through the same channel. There are no downloads from anywhere else.
Featured app
Reel Brand places your logo on a video exactly where you want it, remembers that position, and reuses it on every clip you export afterwards. 4K and HDR are processed entirely on your device, so client footage never leaves it.
Free download · ReelBrand Pro Lifetime is a one-time €7.99 — never a subscription.
Every app here is built exclusively for the Apple platforms — Swift and the current macOS, iOS and iPadOS frameworks, not a web view in a wrapper. That is what makes them start instantly, stay small in memory, and behave the way the rest of the system does.
Each one solves a specific problem for developers, photographers or creators, and stops there. Missing something you need? Write to the developer — that mail goes to a person, not a ticket queue.
The Little Bakery is run by Alex, a Senior Software Engineer in Germany who builds, ships and supports every app here personally. No growth team, no investor — which is why there is no subscription to renew and nothing to track.
Not downloadable yet. Pick one below and we will send a single email on release day.
Plan and track practice sessions without a subscription or a cloud account.
Adapt YouTube titles and descriptions to how each market actually searches.
Mount, monitor and safely eject external and network drives from the menu bar.

The Little Bakery is an independent app studio in Germany that builds native macOS, iOS and iPadOS apps with no subscriptions and no tracking. It is run by Alexander Marquardt, who writes and supports every app personally. Three apps are on the App Store today and three more are in development.
Three apps are available now: Json Xml Editor, Reel Brand and Imagario. Json Xml Editor is a free macOS JSON and XML editor with a REST client and code generators; Reel Brand adds your logo to videos and ships as one App Store listing covering iPhone, iPad and Mac, so it has a page for each platform; Imagario is a free Mac photo browser for culling shoots with EXIF and GPS inspection. Prax, TubeLocalizer and Volume Keeper are in development.
Json Xml Editor and Imagario are free, and Reel Brand is a free download with one optional one-time purchase. That purchase is ReelBrand Pro Lifetime at €7.99, which unlocks 4K and 1080p exports, Split for Shorts, multi-clip concatenation and iCloud sync. There are no subscriptions and no recurring charges anywhere in the catalogue.
No — none of the apps require a subscription, now or later. The only paid upgrade in the entire catalogue is ReelBrand Pro Lifetime, a single one-time €7.99 in-app purchase; everything else works without any ongoing payment.
No — the apps contain no third-party trackers and no analytics SDKs, and none of them require an account. Your files are opened and processed on your own Mac or iPhone and are never uploaded to us. Where an app offers iCloud sync it uses your own private iCloud container, which we cannot read.
All three released apps are on the App Store and nowhere else — there are no downloads outside it. Json Xml Editor and Imagario are on the Mac App Store; Reel Brand is one universal listing covering iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Email development@thelittlebakery.org and the developer answers within 2 business days. There is no ticket system and no first-line agent in between — the person who wrote the app reads the mail, in any of the 14 languages this site is published in.
