New Release Mycotopia
Now on the App Store · Ages 13+

Mycotopia

Calm enough to unwind with. Deep enough to obsess over.

You are a living mycelium network with one goal: take over the world. Grow your colony across procedurally generated worlds, outcompete rival AI networks, survive wild random events, and spread through eight distinct biomes. Climb the leaderboards, unlock roguelite upgrades, and see how far your spores can reach.

Coming Soon 86'd — pixel-art horde survival game icon
Coming Soon · Ages 16+

86'd

Twelve minutes. One thumb. The worst dinner rush of your life.

You're a line cook on the last hour of the night shift when the dinner rush turns into something much worse. A pixel-art horde survival roguelike: auto-attack keeps swinging while you handle the movement, the build, and the split-second calls. Turn kitchen tools into an absurd arsenal, fight through four restaurants, and take down the org chart — one suit at a time. Or run the shift with a friend in two-cook online co-op.

iPhone Free with ads · $4.99 unlock Horde survival 12-minute runs
In Development

Something new is taking shape.

Our most ambitious project yet is in the works — and that's about all we're ready to say. No name, no genre, no screenshots… not yet. Just the quiet certainty that it'll be worth the wait.

Professional Software

Serious tools for serious work.

Field software for working professionals — offline-first, private by design, and honestly priced.

New Release Rafter — home-inspection report writer app icon
Now on the App Store · For Home Inspectors

Rafter

Home-inspection reports, finished in the driveway.

A focused, offline-first report writer for professional home inspectors. Rate each item as you walk, drop photos into the right finding, and dictate what you see — on-device AI drafts polished narratives that you review and approve before they enter the report. One tap builds a branded PDF and HTML report, ready to hand over on the spot.

iPhone Offline-first On-device AI Data Not Collected Three free inspections
You approve every word — Rafter never auto-publishes. No servers, no accounts — your data stays on your iPhone and your own iCloud.
🔒 Your data stays on your phone

No servers, no accounts. Inspections, photos, and client details live on your iPhone and your own iCloud — Rafter's App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected."

📄 No ads in client reports, ever

The report you hand over carries your branding and nothing else — no ads, no badges, no upsells in your deliverable.

🤝 Try it on three real inspections

Three full-featured inspections free, no credit card. Then $399.99 once for the first 100 inspectors — or $249.99/yr once the founder licenses are gone.

New Release Realform — 3D scanner app icon
Now on the App Store · Graphics & Design

Realform

Scan anything in 3D — right on your iPhone.

Turn the world around you into 3D. Scan a small object, a person, a single room with an automatic floor plan, or an entire building room-by-room — all processed on your iPhone, nothing uploaded. Clean it up in a full built-in editor, then export to USDZ, GLB, OBJ, STL, and PLY, plus floor plans as PDF, PNG, SVG, and DXF. Full-body scans even export ready for Mixamo, Adobe's free online auto-rigger.

Who We Are

We build software worth your time.

Big Ridge Studios is an independent software studio based in Tennessee, chasing one idea: that great software can be wholesome, powerful, and genuinely fun — simple to pick up yet impossible to put down. We build in two worlds: games for every kind of player, and professional field software for people whose workday depends on their tools.

🎮 Range & Depth

From gentle adventures for the youngest players to field software professional home inspectors rely on — we don't box ourselves into one kind of project.

❤️ Player-First

No dark patterns, ever. Our kids' titles carry zero ads, purchases, or data collection — and our bigger games respect your time and attention.

Independent

We answer to the people who use our software, not to shareholders. That freedom lets us take our time and get things right.

Let's talk.
