Does the one thing
Does everything else
One thing, well
Each app solves one small problem. If it needs a tutorial, it’s doing too much.

Small apps.
Good enough, on purpose.really
Good Enough Labs makes small apps that do one thing well. We ship at 80%, fix the rest in public, and turn things off when nobody uses them.

What makes us differentsort of
Three rules. We break them less than we’d like to admit.
v0.8 · shipped
Ship at 80%
Nothing here is ever filled to 100%. We release when it works, not when it’s perfect.

Cut features, not corners
We drop scope all the time. We don’t drop quality, privacy or support.
Things we shippedso far
Small, useful, a bit unfinished. On purpose.

The next one. We don’t talk about it until it works.
Things we say a lotto ourselves
No testimonials yet. These are from the founder, rated honestly.
If it takes more than a weekend, it’s two apps.
A feature nobody asked for is a bug we wrote on purpose.
Done is a feature. Probably the best one.
The dealno fine print
How our apps make money, and what we won’t do to make more.
$0 to try
Every app works before you pay. Pay only if it earns it.
- Free to try, always
- Subscriptions you cancel in the store, in one tap
- No dark patterns. We’d notice.
- A real person answers support
1 founder
Staying small is what lets us stay honest.
- No investors to please
- No growth hacks
- Apps that don’t work out get turned off, openly
- Profit, eventually. Ideally.
Graveyard
When we turn an app off, it gets a line here and an honest reason.
Empty. For now.
Is “good enough” an excuse?
No. It’s a scope. We decide what enough means before we start, then we stop there and make that part solid.
Why 80%?
The last 20% takes most of the time and most people never notice it. We’d rather ship the next useful thing.
Who’s behind this?
One person and a laptop. The “we” is aspirational.
Can I suggest an app?
Yes. Email hi@goodenoughlabs.com. If it’s small and useful, we might build it. Badly at first, then well enough.
Are you hiring?
No. We’ll let you know.
got a small problem?
We might build a good-enough fix.
Tell us what annoys you. If it’s small and useful, it could be our next app.
