Independent app studio
BufferPoint LLC designs, builds and publishes apps for TVs, phones and the web — our own, and our clients'.
buf·fer point /ˈbʌf.ər pɔɪnt/ n.
We design, build and publish apps for the screen across the room, the one in your hand and the browser, plus the backends behind them. Our speciality is media and video: players, remote-first TV interfaces, big catalogs that stay fast, subtitles and multilingual interfaces.

Backends and APIs are shared across platforms, for example serverless APIs on Cloudflare. Store publishing covers submission, listings, privacy disclosures, content ratings and release management.
Six stages, from the first conversation to life after launch. The buffer point comes after testing: the build is ready to ship.
We agree what the app must do, which screens it runs on and what done looks like.
Interfaces shaped for each screen: remote-first on TV, touch on phones, keyboard on the web.
The app itself, plus the backend and APIs it needs to run.
On the TVs, remotes, phones and tablets people actually use, not only emulators.
Store submission and review: listings, privacy disclosures, content ratings and reviewer access.
Updates for new OS versions and store policies, fixes and new releases.
Alongside client work, we build and publish apps of our own. Each one gets its own website and its own policies.
Our app Media player
A media player for smart TVs.
A calm, remote-first player with fast libraries, profiles, styled subtitles and eight interface languages.
More apps in development.
Four rules we hold to on every project, ours or a client's.
Every project starts with a written scope and timeline. Clients own their code, their store accounts and their data.
No ads, trackers or third-party scripts on this site. The apps we build collect only what their features need.
We test on the TVs, remotes, phones and tablets people actually use, before anything reaches a store.
Store policies, privacy disclosures, accessibility and localization are handled from the first build, not the week before launch.
