Apps by Nikki is a two-person studio. We build our own apps, and we build them for other people too.
OUR APP iPhone Android
Sip. Tap. Done.
Parched is a simple water tracker. Log a glass with one tap and watch the water rise toward your daily goal, from the app, a Home Screen widget or your Apple Watch.
Gentle reminders fit your day, short articles cite published research, and groups let friends see each other's progress and nudge whoever's falling behind. It works offline, on iPhone and Android.
OUR APP iPhone
Don't rely on one AI. Ask the panel.
One AI can be fluent, persuasive, and wrong. Asking several by hand is tedious, and lining up four chat windows just hands the comparing back to you.
The Panel does the comparing. Each AI answers your question on its own, then you get one verdict: the points they share, where they split, the minority view, and every original answer in full.
CLIENT WORK Website
An online gallery for ELLE and Esquire's Hollywood exhibition.
Built for Osmos.
Hearst Galleries put on a joint exhibition at the Hearst Tower in New York: Hollywood photography from the ELLE and Esquire archives.
The site takes it online. Photographs drift in around the title, then you pick a gallery, browse its wall, and open any picture for its issue, photographer and story.
Nikki has an eye for apps that look great and feel even better, and always wanted a studio of her own. Romeo builds things. The name was her idea, and he's fine with it.
We design and build mobile apps and websites. Some are our own ideas, some are for clients. Either way they get the same fuss over how they look and how they feel.
Between our own apps, we take on freelance and consulting work. If you need one of these built properly, get in touch.
iPhone and Android apps, from the first screen to the app stores.
Websites and web apps, from the first sketch to the day they go live.

Parched
Effective date: 1 November 2026
Last updated: 2 November 2026
Policy version: 2026-11-01
This policy covers "consumer health data" as Washington's My Health My Data Act, Nevada's consumer health data law (NRS 603A.400 to 603A.550) and Connecticut's Data Privacy Act define it. Parched is operated by an individual developer based in the Philippines, who publishes it through an Apple Developer Program individual account and a Google Play developer account (support@appsbynikki.com); the developer's legal name is the Seller shown on Parched's App Store page and the name in the developer contact details on Parched's Google Play page. Our full Privacy Policy is at https://www.appsbynikki.com/parched/privacy.
We treat the following as consumer health data:
We use it only to:
(a) record your drinks and show your progress, History, badges, widgets and watch apps;
(b) run the groups you choose to join or own: showing members your progress, sending them drink alerts, and running nudges and challenges;
(c) write your drinks to Apple Health or Health Connect on your phone, if you turn sync on;
(d) keep Parched secure and working; and
(e) comply with the law.
We don't use it for advertising, we don't sell it, and we don't use it to train AI models.
Goal calculator. If you use Personalise your goal, your answers (sex, age, weight, pregnancy or breastfeeding, activity and climate) are used on your phone and are never sent to us. Only the goal you choose to save reaches our servers, and that goal may reflect your answers.
From you, through the Parched app, its widgets and the Parched apps for Apple Watch and Wear OS. Parched never reads data from Apple Health or Health Connect.
A drink is saved to your account when you log it, in the app, on a widget or on a watch. Your daily goal is saved when your account is created, because the app can't work without a goal. We treat both as consumer health data from the start (Privacy Policy §5).
Sharing with a group is a separate agreement. Before you join a group, the Join with a code sheet says: "Joining is always free. By sending a code you agree to share your name, avatar, goal and time zone with the group's owner and, once you're in, today's total and last drink with its members." Sending the code is your agreement to that sharing. Turning on Apple Health or Health Connect sync is a separate choice too.
We have no affiliates. We do not sell consumer health data. If you ask, we give you a list of every third party and affiliate with whom we've shared your consumer health data, with their contact details.
It is stored and processed in the United States (Google's us-west1 region, Oregon), and accessed by the operator from the Philippines only to run, secure and support Parched. Crash reports are stored in Germany. Access is restricted to the operator and to our service providers' systems, as the Privacy Policy describes. Parched doesn't collect your precise location and doesn't use geofencing.
No other company collects consumer health data about you over time or across other apps or websites through Parched.
You can:
To make a request, email support@appsbynikki.com from the email address of the Apple or Google account you use with Parched (we confirm requests through that address), or use the tools in the app. We respond within 45 days of receiving your request; if we need up to 45 more days, we tell you why within the first 45. Requests are free.
Appeals. If we refuse your request, you can appeal by emailing support@appsbynikki.com with "Appeal" in the subject line. We decide within 45 days and explain our decision in writing. If we still refuse, you can complain to the Washington Attorney General (https://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint), the Nevada Attorney General (https://ag.nv.gov/Complaints/File_Complaint/) or the Connecticut Attorney General (https://portal.ct.gov/ag).
If we change this policy, we update the "Last updated" date and tell you in the app or by email before a material change takes effect. We ask for your consent before collecting new kinds of consumer health data or using it for a new purpose.
