A small studio, still answering its own mail.
Hetko started with one app and a wrist that deserved a better watch face. It is run as Algorion OÜ in Tallinn, and it stays deliberately small.
We build what we use. Hetko Reader came out of wanting a reader that respected typography. Every watch face spends a week on our own wrists before it ships.
Being small has consequences. Releases are steady rather than frequent, support mail is read by the person who wrote the code, and no feature exists to raise a number on a dashboard.
We are not trying to get big. The goal is a short catalogue that keeps working for years.
How we work
Ship, then stay
An app is not finished at launch. Hetko Reader has been updated more times after release than before it.
Pay once where we can
Core features stay free or one-time paid. Subscriptions only where there is a real running cost behind them.
Your data stays yours
Books, saves and settings live on your device. We collect only what keeps the apps working.
Say hello
Bug reports, feature requests, or a watch face idea. All of it reaches a person.
