Indie apps from New Zealand

Building thoughtful apps for busy humans.

Risa Apps is the one‑woman indie studio of Heloisa Balzaretti — creating calm, purposeful tools crafted for real life. Starting with VeggieMate, designed for effortless vegetarian meal planning.

Indie studio, small scope, thoughtful details.

Risa Apps focuses on calm, purposeful tools instead of noisy, all‑in‑one products. I care about clean design, accessibility, and building things that respect your time and attention.

01 · Crafted by one person
From idea to App Store listing

Every app is designed, coded, and shipped by one person – from SwiftUI screens to Firebase wiring, marketing copy, and screenshots. No big team, just focused indie energy.

02 · Built around real life
Optimised for busy days

My apps are made for people juggling work, family, and everything else – quick to use, easy to understand, and friendly on low‑energy days.

03 · Privacy‑respecting
Your data stays yours

Clear privacy policies, no creepy tracking. I only collect what I need to keep things running and to improve the experience.

Introducing MoodMints

A gentle daily mood journal crafted to bring calm, clarity, and a moment of reflection to your busy day. Built with the same thoughtful care behind VeggieMate — but focused on wellbeing.
