freeroam.ai is an independent software studio. We make our own products and build native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
We design, build and run our own software. Gravity Lab is our free universe explorer, live now in open beta.
Gravity Lab is a free space simulator that runs in your browser. You start in orbit above Earth, hold W until streets appear, then pull back until the planet is a point of light and the solar system comes into view. Every body is drawn at true scale.
Click any planet or star to fly there, or drag the timeline to watch the orbits move. It needs no account and no install.
Satellite imagery from Esri, Maxar and Earthstar Geographics.
We are an independent software studio. We write our own software first, so we live with the decisions we make and fix what we get wrong.
That keeps the gap between an idea and a running build short enough to learn from. Our apps are written in Swift and SwiftUI for Apple platforms, and in WebGL where a browser serves the product better. We pick well-supported, unexciting technology on purpose, because it is cheap to maintain in year three.
Interface, motion and architecture get decided together, so what we design is what ships.
Typed, tested, readable code and clear releases, so the app survives the next OS update.
We collect the minimum a feature needs and keep data on the device wherever the product allows.
We build our own products, and we take on outside projects when the platform and timeline fit. The people who design the work are the people who build it.
Swift and SwiftUI apps that follow the platform, including gestures, widgets, notifications, Live Activities and offline-first data.
Real-time graphics in the browser, the kind that runs Gravity Lab. Large datasets, continuous zoom and smooth motion on hardware people already own.
Flows, prototypes and a shipped design system covering type, colour, motion, dark mode and Dynamic Type.
The services behind an app: authentication, sync, payments and third-party APIs, built to be observable and cheap to run.
Provisioning, TestFlight, privacy manifests, metadata, screenshots and getting through review.
VoiceOver, contrast, reduced motion and real-device testing are requirements from the first build.
The plan below runs about twelve weeks from first call to launch.
We pin down who it is for, what success looks like, and the one job the software has to do better than anything already installed.
Flows, then screens, then a clickable prototype. You react to something real before production code exists.
Two-week cycles with a working build at the end of each one, so you watch the product take shape.
Beta on real devices, accessibility and privacy passes, store assets, submission and review handled by us.
With crash and usage data in hand we ship the fixes that matter and keep the app current with each OS release.
Picked to still be supported in five years.

freeroam.ai is an independent software studio based in Clear Lake, South Dakota. We build our own apps and software, and we design and engineer native applications for Apple platforms. Gravity Lab is our interactive universe explorer. It runs in the browser and is currently in open beta.
Gravity Lab is an interactive universe explorer that runs in a web browser. You fly outward from Earth's surface to deep space at true scale, visit planets and stars, follow guided tours, and build systems in a sandbox. It uses satellite imagery from Esri, Maxar and Earthstar Geographics, and it is free to use in open beta at mygravitylab.com.
We build for iOS, iPadOS and macOS in Swift and SwiftUI, and for the web where the product calls for it. Gravity Lab is a web application built with WebGL, so it runs without an install.
