Studio Elias is an independent software studio building creative, exploratory applications for the web and Apple platforms. We make things that are fast, focused, and a little unexpected.
A quick-reaction game that challenges you to read the room. As someone approaches, decide fast — dap or handshake? — then match the orientation of your hand. Hand detection runs entirely on a local computer vision model. No data ever leaves your device.
dapdetector.com ↗A shared, multiplayer take on the classic magnetic poetry set. Drag words around to compose poems on a virtual fridge, then leave them for others to find and rearrange. Real-time sync means the whole internet shares one fridge.
fridgepoetry.fun ↗A new way to discover and listen to internet radio on iPhone. More details soon.
Coming soonStudio Elias was founded by Jay Elias, a creative technologist based in Oakland, California. The studio exists to explore what software can feel like when it's built with genuine curiosity — not just utility.
We build for Apple platforms and the open web, with a focus on human interface design, on-device intelligence, and software that delights. Every project starts with a simple question: what would make this genuinely fun to use?
Studio Elias distributes applications through the App Store and the web.
