About Spark & Anvil

We build educational iOS apps for kids ages 9–14. 131 apps across STEM, STEAM, Academics, DIR/FEDC, and Special Interest verticals. All Swift 6 + SwiftUI, all on-device AI, all built with care.

The name

A spark is the moment of ignition — the "aha" when an idea takes hold. An anvil is the patient surface where raw material gets shaped through effort and craft.

Together they describe how we think about learning: not as passive consumption, but as ideas forged through curiosity, repetition, and real work. Every app in the portfolio is built on that philosophy.

How we work

iOS-native. Swift 6 with strict concurrency, SwiftUI for UI, SpriteKit for gameplay, SwiftData for storage, FoundationModels for on-device AI.
Open-source ForgeKit. A shared Swift Package Manager framework (50+ modules) powers the portfolio. Every app inherits the same accessibility, COPPA, and craftsmanship baseline.
One codebase per app. Each app is a focused, single-purpose tool — not bloated by trying to be everything at once.
No cross-platform compromises. We're iOS-only by choice. The platform's capabilities are part of the product.
