Small studio. Broad curiosity.

Useful starts with understanding.

Founded by George Martinez, Project Alien Studio is an independent software studio building tools around everyday questions.

Our projects span AI, entertainment, market research, personal journaling, and civic information. The common thread is clarity: helping people understand what they're looking at and what they can do next.

Project Alien Studio LLC is a Wyoming limited liability company developing software for Apple devices and the web. Meet the team.

Focused by design

A clear purpose for every product, without unnecessary complexity.

Honest about the details

Make sources, estimates, and development status understandable.

Tested before release

Hands-on review is part of how we refine every app before it ships.
