About BackPocket Apps
Small studio. Big ideas. Apps that are always within reach.
Born from game night
It started with a simple problem: keeping score during board games was always a mess. Scraps of paper, calculator apps, or that one person doing mental math and definitely getting it wrong.
We wanted something better — a scorekeeping app that actually understood how each game works. Not a generic counter, but a tailored experience for every game on the shelf.
That idea became House Rules, and BackPocket Apps was born to bring it to life. It's the first of many apps we're building — each one designed to solve a specific problem with care and craft.
Where game night meets great software.
Apps should feel like they were made for you
We'd rather build one great experience for a specific need than a mediocre tool that tries to do everything.
Purpose-Built
Every app we make solves a real problem in a specific way. No bloat, no feature creep.
Crafted with Care
Smooth animations, thoughtful interactions, and details that make the experience feel right.
Honest Pricing
Free to start, fair to upgrade. No ads, no tracking, no dark patterns. Ever.
Always Growing
House Rules is just the beginning. We have a pocket full of ideas and we're just getting started.
