Our Approach

Built for the moments
that matter most

ACEL Apps builds focused, single-purpose tools that solve real problems for real people. No bloat, no data harvesting. Just well-crafted software that earns its place on your home screen.

Single Purpose

Each app solves one problem exceptionally well. We'd rather build three sharp tools than one dull Swiss army knife.

Privacy First

Your data stays on your device. We don't track, profile, or sell. Our business model is simple: build great apps, charge fairly for them.

Fair Pricing

Honest pricing that fits the product. One-time purchases where it makes sense, subscriptions only when ongoing value justifies it. Free tier to allow for trials, upgrades are transparent.

The Portfolio

Apps built for
the moments that count.

Every ACEL app starts the same way: someone standing in the middle of a moment, wishing there were a better tool for it.

RaceChase Launching Soon

RaceChase

Capture Every Finish

Born poolside at a swim meet. One parent, one phone, trying to film the race and time it — doing neither well. RaceChase fuses video recording with a professional stopwatch, baking live lap times directly into every frame. The result is a broadcast-quality keepsake with timing overlay and a beautiful summary card. No editing. No spreadsheets. Just the race, the times, and the memory.

Live stopwatch overlay composited into video
One-thumb lap button
Auto-generated end card with times and averages
Five premium themes
Saved straight to Photos — no export, no editing
Free · 3 recordings $9.99 · one-time unlock iOS · Photo & Video
TripSlice Coming Soon

TripSlice

Split trip costs. One bank. Zero stress.

Born from the chaos of a group golf trip spreadsheet. TripSlice is the only expense-splitting app built for finite group trips with a trusted bank model. One person manages the ledger, everyone sees where they stand, and settlement is automatic. Premium, trustworthy, effortless — because splitting costs shouldn't split the group.

Trusted bank model — one person approves expenses
Real-time balance visibility for every member
Auto-settlement with trip close dates
Built-in group chat per trip
No app download required for passive users
Free · with in-app purchases iOS & Android · Finance
TalkFeel In Development

TalkFeel

Structured communication, deeper connection.

Research shows that thriving relationships maintain at least five positive interactions for every negative one. TalkFeel gives you the structure to make that happen. Share what your partner, child, or business partner did that mattered. Express how it made you feel. Build a bank of positive capital — then when harder conversations need to happen, the foundation is already there.

Positive capital tracking with the 5:1 ratio model
Structured "When you... I felt..." message framework
Persona-based communication (companion, parent, partner)
Gentle nudges that encourage, never guilt
Concerns held until positive capital unlocks them
iOS & Android · Lifestyle Pricing · TBD

About ACEL Apps

ACEL Apps is an independent software studio focused on building purposeful mobile applications. Every app we ship starts with a real frustration and ends with a focused solution — nothing more, nothing less.

We believe the best apps disappear into the moment. A parent filming a race shouldn't be thinking about their tools. Friends splitting a dinner bill shouldn't need a spreadsheet. Partners building a life together shouldn't need a therapist just to say "thank you." We're just getting started.
