Products that make life a little better and people a little happier.

Not by shouting louder than everyone else, but by doing a few things properly: helping a person understand themselves, make good decisions every day and enjoy the simple things — food, movement, rest.

We’re named after Ptah, the Egyptian god of craftsmen, architects and creators. In the old stories he made the world by thinking it up and saying it out loud. That’s how we like to work.

Think clearly, then build.

How we work

Evidence over hype.

Everything we build stands on science and data, not on trends. When we don’t know something, we say so.

Craft in the details.

We care about the things nobody notices until they’re missing: a number that’s right, an edit that takes one tap, a screen that loads before you wonder.

The person is in charge.

Your data and your decisions are yours. No dark patterns, no manipulation, no selling your attention.

Our products

Available on the web

ZOYASmart Food Diary

A Russian-language food diary with AI assistance. Add meals by photo or voice, explore ingredients and nutrition, and ask an AI companion about your eating patterns. Tracking calories is optional.

iOS release pending.

Coming in 2027

Viklia

An AI food diary with a voice — for people who find diaries hard to keep.

Photograph a meal, or just tell Vee what you ate. She answers in words, not numbers: what was good, what to add next time. Seven-day challenges instead of endless streaks. Launching early 2027 in the UK, Australia and Canada.
