A one-person app studio in Incheon building short, focused utilities and games, including wage calculations, badminton-court discovery, and 16-minute-scale brain games.

Why it surfaced

TaeForge says it measures the time an app takes rather than the number of features it contains: 30 seconds for recording a shift and checking take-home pay, 40 seconds to find and call a badminton court, and one minute for a game. Four named apps are either launched or moving through App Store submission, with one unusually reassuring promise: Puzzle Town will not include random-reward loot boxes.

A File Musicians Can Argue With

August 7’s newborn domains include editable orchestral scores with up to 33 staves, 15 years of Valencia council interventions, a dementia-friendly frame with one optional button, and a memorial golf tournament whose winner wears the Meatball Jacket.
