Built by a dad, for his family.

Tektrify is a one-person indie shop run by Ky Vu from Puyallup, Washington. Dad of 4 kids, ages 2, 7, 10, and 12. Every app starts as a solution to a real problem at home.

Ky and the family

KidLock was born out of frustration with the kids sneaking onto Roblox at midnight. I needed a way to set real boundaries that actually worked on both WiFi and cellular. Nothing out there did exactly what I needed, so I built it.

SnapStudy came from late-night homework battles. I wanted an AI tutor that would guide them through problems step-by-step instead of just giving answers. Something that actually teaches.

BlockBlitz? That one started as a fun family game night option. A fast-paced puzzle game we could all enjoy together. It ended up being the first app to ship.

How we work

Ship fast

Get it into people's hands quickly and iterate based on real feedback.

Keep it simple

No bloat. No feature creep. Every app does one thing well.

Solve real problems

If it doesn't fix something real in our daily life, we don't build it.
