It’s been another busy year at Uptech Studio, and we’re excited about what we’ve been able to accomplish with our clients. Not because we shipped a bunch of code (although we did). And not because we hit some arbitrary growth targets or won awards we can hang on the wall (although we did). We're feeling good because the software we built in partnership with our clients actually did things in the real world.
Working with Prism Labs, we helped launch a Mobile SDK that companies like Noom, Tanita, Fit3D, and Tempo have integrated into their customer experience. In 2025, well over half a million people used Prism’s tech to create 3d bodymaps, helping them get an accurate picture of not just how much weight they’ve lost, but how their bodies have transformed. That’s not some abstract engagement metric—that's people feeling better, looking better, and leading healthier lives. The app didn't do the hard work for them, but it made that hard work visible.
KQED listeners used the mobile app we helped create to stream over 4.5 million live broadcasts and read over 800,000 articles this year. That's public radio reaching people wherever they are—in the car, on a walk, or at home. We're talking about countless hours of reporting, music, and storytelling that wouldn't have happened without reliable mobile streaming. The San Francisco Press Club was impressed enough with the KQED Mobile App that it won first place for Overall Excellence for a large news website.
With Phillips Connect, we helped launch a new version of the TechAssist app that's keeping commercial trailers on the road instead of sitting idle in the yard. When you're managing a fleet, every hour of downtime is money burning. The app helps fleet managers spot issues before they become breakdowns and get maintenance done efficiently. More uptime, less headache—exactly what logistics software should do.
With Digital Diagnostic Imaging, we launched a new monitoring tool that ensures hospital patients experiencing acute cardiac episodes get immediate attention. When someone's heart is in crisis, seconds matter. The right alert to the right person at the right time isn't just good software—it's the difference between a close call and a tragedy.
We helped FlipperForce build a mobile app, because flipping houses isn't something you do from behind a desk. Contractors, inspectors, contractors who didn't show up, surprise plumbing disasters... none of that waits until you're back at your computer. The app puts project management, budgets, and team coordination in your pocket, right where it needs to be when you're standing in a half-gutted kitchen making decisions.
We aren't too interested in vanity metrics. We're more interested in the downstream effects of obsessing over the details that most people never see: reliable sync logic, thoughtful UX flows, backends that don't fall over under load, and designs that get out of the user's way.
As the whole software industry grapples with the impact of AI on what we do, the big lesson this year? The most valuable thing we deliver isn't code—it's execution.
As we look back at the work we’ve done, it’s not the impressive architecture, the quantity or quality of code, or the slick design work that our clients will remember. It’s that we’ve worked to deeply understand problems and engaged in a true partnership with our clients to meet the needs of their customers.
The tech industry has gotten really good at predicting the future and really bad at being right about it, so we won’t make predictions for 2026.
What we will say: we're focused on the same things we've always been focused on. Building software that solves real problems for real people. Partnering with teams who care about outcomes, not just outputs.
If you're working on something interesting and need a team that can actually execute on it—not just talk about it in meetings—you know where to find us.
Thanks for a solid year. Here's to the next one.
Thanks,
Adam Korman
Partner, Uptech Studio
P.S. — If you're reading this and thinking "we could use their help in 2026," let's talk. Our Q1 calendar is pretty full, but we're always up for an interesting challenge.
