# Arcadia: Independent iOS Studio for Mental Health & Journaling Apps

> Arcadia (byArcadia) is an independent iOS studio from Krakow, Poland, founded by Dominik Wozniak. We build private, offline-first apps for mental health and self-reflection. All data stays on-device — no cloud sync, no accounts, no tracking. Our apps include Umbra (shadow work journal) and GratefulMe (gratitude journal). Built with React Native, Expo, TypeScript, and expo-sqlite.
