The Dolce Way is an independent iOS app studio based in Helsinki, Finland. It is the trading name of DT Nova Tmi, a registered Finnish sole trader (business ID 3595452-5), founded in 2025 by Mustafa Tarabya. The studio designs, builds and publishes small, single-purpose iPhone apps across health, fitness, productivity, mindfulness and lifestyle, with 19 apps live on the App Store today.
The shelf includes WaterDrop (hydration reminders and daily intake tracking), FastTrack (fasting with analytics and metabolic insights), FocusTimer (Pomodoro-style focus sessions), SimpleStreaks (a habit tracker built around streaks), ZenBreath and Breathe & Relax (breathing and calm), Affirm and Daily Dose (daily affirmations and quotes), GymCoach (an AI-powered personal trainer), Tempo (interval training), Calio (calorie and nutrition numbers), Meal Planner, DayCount, Convertly and QuickConvert (unit and file conversion), Shotkeeper (photo cleanup and storage), DreamNoise (sound for focus and sleep), TripVault (a travel diary) and PaceCoach (running). More are in the workshop, among them FlexFlow, PDFast, ScanSnap, ThinkFlow, SameSide and CVBooster.
Every app is built to do one thing well: no bloat, no dark patterns, and nothing tracking you across apps. Apps ship when they are genuinely useful, not on a schedule, and several started as something the studio needed and could not find a decent version of. Alongside the apps, The Dolce Way publishes build notes and articles on hydration, fasting, habits, focus and training, with a clear disclosure whenever a piece mentions an app the studio publishes.
