Independent iOS studio

Apps for people in motion.

Orion Studios designs and builds native iOS apps with the patience of a navigator and the precision of an engineer. Our first star, TripCache, is live on the App Store — with more in flight.

TripCache

Every trip has a budget, and every budget has a story. TripCache keeps travel expenses effortless to capture and beautiful to read — offline, on-device, in any currency.

  • Capture in seconds

    Log an expense in two taps at the gate, on the train, or mid-tapas. Categories, receipts, and split costs included.

  • Multi-currency, zero math

    Spend in yen, kroner, and pesos on the same trip. TripCache converts everything back to your home currency automatically.

  • Reports worth keeping

    One tap turns a trip into a clean, shareable report — for reimbursements, tax season, or the group chat.

  • Private by design

    Your spending lives on your device and your iCloud — never on our servers. Works fully offline, syncs when you land.

In flight

Every project at Orion carries the name of a star until it ships. Two are on the launch pad now — here's what we can share.

Rigel · β Orionis

Travel expense tracking that feels effortless. Our first app, and the standard everything after it has to meet.

Codename Alnitak

A companion for the journey itself. It shares TripCache's DNA — quick capture, quiet design — aimed at a new corner of travel.

Mintaka · δ Orionis

Codename Mintaka

Earlier on the runway, and further from home. A utility we've wanted on our own phones for years. More at the right moment.

The studio · how we work

Small studio. High standards.

Orion Studios is an independent shop that builds a few apps and builds them properly. Sailors once crossed oceans by this constellation; we hold our software to the same idea — something you can rely on, wherever you are.

SWIFT Native or nothing

Every app is written in Swift and SwiftUI, tuned for the platform it lives on. No wrappers, no lowest common denominator — iOS apps that feel like iOS.

DETAIL Sweat the last 10%

Haptics, animation curves, empty states, the weight of a tap target. The parts most teams cut are the parts people feel every day.

TRUST Privacy as a feature

We build products, not audiences. Your data stays yours — on your device, in your iCloud, out of our hands. That's a promise across every app we ship.

Portrait of Srinivas Founder · Orion Studios

Srinivas

Founder & Developer

Srinivas works across the full arc of an app — product thinking, interface and visual design, Swift development, and the server-side plumbing that holds it all together. What ties it together is a care for products that feel clear, considered, and polished, from the shape of an icon down to the timing of an animation.

He is an active member of the Apple developer community, sharing work in progress and trading notes with other indie builders. Outside of work, he's' usually planning the next trip — which is exactly how TripCache came to exist.

Fun fact Srinivas has traveled to 25+ countries and lived in 3.
