About ElasticKarma

ElasticKarma Labs is a small, independent software studio building iOS products at the intersection of learning, attention, and digital behavior. We care about clear UX, useful AI, and products that feel modern without being noisy or gimmicky.

Thoughtful UX

We design interfaces that feel fast, calm, and intuitive while still being engaging enough to create real habit change.

Useful AI

We use AI where it creates genuine leverage for users, especially around learning, summarization, and personalized workflows.

Digital Wellbeing

We build tools that help people take control of attention instead of letting attention be controlled by their devices.

Our Mission

Most apps are built to capture attention. We’re interested in the opposite.

ElasticKarma Labs creates tools that help users redirect moments of distraction into moments of progress. Whether that means learning from your own notes, building healthier habits, or creating more intentional friction before mindless behavior, our goal is the same: make technology serve the user.

We believe software should strengthen focus, learning, and agency — not just maximize engagement.

Our Apps

We build products that combine practical utility with strong product taste. Our current app in development is ScrollScholar.

ScrollScholar

ScrollScholar helps students reduce distraction from social media while studying. Users can add their own study notes, generate AI-powered flashcards, and optionally require a short brain challenge before selected apps unlock. The goal is to turn moments of distraction into moments of learning.
