About ZippyBytes

Two people. Small apps. Built with care.

ZippyBytes is an independent product studio in Islamabad, started by Shayaan and Hibba. We build focused apps for everyday problems, and we answer our own email.

Our story

We build the apps we wanted for ourselves.

An engineer and a marketer, married and working side by side. Shayaan builds the product; Hibba makes sure people hear about it. Our first app, My Budget Tracker, answers a question every household asks: how much do we actually have left? It’s live on the App Store and Google Play, and it’s only the start.

Mission

Build small, honest apps that make everyday life a little lighter.

Vision

A family of byte-sized apps people trust with money, plans and the people they share them with.

One job, done well

Every feature has to earn its place.

Private by default

No bank logins. We never sell your data.

Calm, not clever

Plain words, quiet design, no guilt.

Listen, then ship

User feedback shapes every release.
