Small things worth building.
An independent software studio that uses spare time to build useful, interesting things that deserve to exist.
01 / Field Notes
A notebook-inspired watch face for Wear OS.
Time, calendar information and useful watch data in a hand-drawn design made to be understood at a glance.
Hand-drawn
Notebook-inspired visuals with a deliberately imperfect feel.
Useful at a glance
Important watch information stays easy to scan.
Wear OS
Designed specifically for the wrist.
On the wrist
One face, a few different pens.
02 / Tiny World
A pixel-art world that changes with your day.
Four automatic scenes frame a large pixel clock, date, steps and battery, with a static ambient display for quieter moments.
Four scenes
Morning, day, evening and night change automatically.
Pixel essentials
Large time, date, steps and battery stay easy to scan.
Wear OS 4+
Made for compatible Wear OS watches.
Small by choice
Useful software does not need to become a platform.
Spare Hours builds narrow, thoughtful products that do one useful job well.
Useful
One clear job is more credible than a pile of adjacent features.
Respectful
Battery, privacy, permissions and attention are product constraints, not afterthoughts.
Independent
A product can be narrow, unusual or delightful without needing a venture-scale story.
