Independent product studio

Useful things, made in-house.

APV Studio designs, builds, and ships its own apps and physical goods. No clients, no handoffs—just products we'd want ourselves, taken from first sketch all the way to the customer.

Pick My Drink

AI that reads the menu and picks your pour.

Tell it how you like your cocktails, point it at a bar menu, and get a recommendation that actually fits—no guessing, no pressure. Built for dim bars, and it gets sharper every time you rate a drink.

Sala

A pool towel that stays put.

Sala towels are cut for lounge chairs: an elastic back pocket and drawstring ties hold them in place, generous sizing covers the whole chaise, and the plush weave feels like a good hotel. Sold direct at salatowels.com.

About

One studio, start to finish.

APV Studio is the studio behind WantJar, Pick My Drink, and Sala. We aren't an agency—we build and own what we make, so every product here has been through the same hands from concept and design to engineering, launch, and support.

We work across whatever the idea needs: native iOS, the web, AI features that earn their place, and physical goods with real supply chains behind them. The common thread is a preference for finished, considered products over prototypes.

  1. 01

    Own it end to end

    Design, code, packaging, support. Nothing gets handed off, so nothing gets lost in translation.

  2. 02

    Ship, then refine

    We'd rather improve something real than polish something imaginary. Everything on this page is out in the world.

  3. 03

    Bits and atoms

    The same care goes into a tap target as a hem stitch. Good products are good regardless of what they're made of.
