One person.
Every departure.
JGApps is a UK software company with one purpose: build software that genuinely helps people, while respecting their privacy, time and money. Today, every app, every pixel, and every line of the privacy policy comes from the same pair of hands. Here's why it exists.
Three words. Every decision.
The whole company runs on one sentence. Here's what each word actually means.
If a feature needs a manual, it isn't finished. Everything should make sense the second you open it — no onboarding maze, no settings labyrinth, no learning curve standing between you and the thing you came to do.
Good enough isn't. The animation, the detail, the feel — an app should be something you want to show someone. A passport that actually flips. A board that actually departs. Craft is the feature.
No accounts. No setup. No friction. Download it and it just works — and keeps working, offline where possible, without asking anything of you in return.
Software has picked the wrong side.
Somewhere along the way, most apps stopped working for the people using them. Attention became inventory to sell. Personal data became a product. Features you already paid for got moved behind a monthly fee.
JGApps exists to be the other thing. No ads — your attention isn't for sale. No tracking — your life isn't a dataset. No subscriptions — buy once, keep forever, or pay nothing at all. Where a feature needs data to work, it stays on your device; where it doesn't, we simply don't collect it.
These aren't marketing slogans — they're the standards every JGApps product is expected to meet, whatever the company grows into. It's just the way software should have been built all along.
The journey so far.
Every gate number is a chapter. The board reads in launch order — it's the company's history.

The first departure. Built because London deserved a Tube app that doesn't track its passengers — and proved the whole promise works.

Where this is heading.
The board gets longer. More apps, more categories — transport beyond London, tools beyond travel — and, in time, perhaps more names on the crew manifest. JGApps is built to last, and built to grow.
Profit is part of that. It's what funds better software, longer support, and a company that answers to the people using its products rather than to advertisers. But profit is the fuel, not the destination.
What won't change is why anything departs. Every JGApps product exists to make life a little easier, to respect the person using it — their privacy, their time, their money — and to be something we're genuinely proud to put our name on. Whatever JGApps grows into, growth never gets a vote against the promise.
Hi, I'm James.
I started JGApps because I want to make software that people enjoy to use.
I don't like unnecessary subscriptions. I don't like invasive tracking. I like building products that are simple, enjoyable and respectful of the people using them.
Every app I make follows one idea: Simple. Sick. Easy.
If one of my apps saves you a missed train, or helps you remember a trip that mattered — that's the whole point. Everything else is just the departures board doing its job.
