Independent app studio · Stockholm
Hira Projects is an independent studio building iOS apps where old wisdom meets modern craft. Sidereal astrology, Ayurvedic forecasting, the science of space, plus a few very modern detours.
The studio
Hira Projects is one builder and a rotating cast of collaborators, working out of Stockholm. We are pulled in two directions at once: toward knowledge systems that have survived for millennia, and toward the craft of making them feel weightless on a modern phone.
Half of what we make reaches back into Vedic science, read from the source texts rather than the pop versions. The other half is just good consumer software: where to eat tonight, what colors suit you, why a video worked. Both halves get the same obsessive care.
Grounded
Built from primary sources, not vibes. If a Sanskrit term is on screen, it is load-bearing.
Crafted
Native, fast, and designed to the pixel. The detail is the product.
Useful
Every app answers one real question a person actually asks.
The work
Apps read from the original texts, not the pop versions. Sidereal, not vague.
Jyotish · iOS
Daily forecasts read from the real sky, not sun-sign clichés.
Sidereal Jyotish in your pocket: the 27 nakshatras, the five-limb Panchang, and your Vimshottari dasha, translated into a clear daily reading that adapts to how much you already know.
Wellness · iOS
What today's weather is doing to your doshas, and how to respond.
Reads temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, AQI and the moon, then interprets them through your prakriti to give a daily Ayurvedic forecast with practices to favor, move, or mind.
Vastu Shastra · iOS
Read your home through the Vedic science of space.
Vastu Shastra grounded in classical texts. Map your rooms, directions and elements against the Vastu Purusha Mandala, with camera room-scanning and cited readings on the way.
Practice · iOS
The Vedic discipline of retention, tracked with dignity.
A quiet, classical companion for the practice of brahmacharya: daily check-ins, urge logs, stage progression and wisdom teachings, with none of the pop-spirituality.
Consumer software for the small daily questions, made with the same care.
Dining · iOS · Expo
“What do I eat tonight?” solved in one tap.
Open it and land on a place to eat. Shuffle (or shake the phone) for somewhere new, save what you love, and spin the intersection of two people's tastes with Friend Mode. Stockholm first.
Marketplace · Web · iOS
Blocket for home cooks, not Wolt for homemade food.
A Stockholm-first directory where independent home cooks list what they love to make and eaters discover and message them directly. Hosting and discovery only, the food stays between people.
Color · iOS
Your skin's undertone and seasonal palette, in 30 seconds.
Point the camera and on-device vision reads your undertone and seasonal color palette, then helps you match clothing, makeup and accessories with a live garment scanner. No photos leave your phone.
A web tool that pays for itself, and one venture that isn't software at all.
Creator tools · Web
Why your TikToks go viral, analyzed by AI.
Enter a TikTok handle and it pulls your recent posts, sends the best and worst to Claude, and returns a clear breakdown of what your viral videos actually have in common.
Brand venture · Brand
Oil-based attars that outlast eau de parfum, at a tenth of the price.
Not an app, but a brand: European-grade packaging and story around long-wearing oil-based attars from established makers. Currently at thesis and supplier stage.

I am always up for a conversation, about a project, a collaboration, or an old text worth turning into software.
