Start with the friction
Before thinking about features, we find an everyday task people already tackle with spreadsheets, notes, or sheer patience.
Product studio · Barcelona
Fewer tasks hanging over you. More time for yourself.
We create apps that handle mechanical work to give you back time and peace of mind. We are starting with Yavara, a more private way to understand your finances.

Why Quiova Labs exists
Technology helps when it takes work off your plate without taking away your control.
We started out making mobile games. Entertainment matters, but we wanted our work to have a more direct effect on everyday life. Today we apply what we learned to tools that solve concrete problems and leave the important decisions in your hands.
How we build
AI handles repetition. You make the important calls.
We look for tasks that take time without needing your judgment: sorting, categorizing, interpreting, or summarizing. We build a small solution, test it in real use, and only then decide what to add.
Automate without taking over
AI interprets files, categorizes, and summarizes. You review the result and choose what to do with it.
Grow after it proves useful
First we confirm that the main flow solves the problem. Then we remove friction and expand only what people need.
Development phases
Each phase answers one question
An app does not move forward because the calendar says so. It moves forward when we know the problem exists, the flow works, and people want to use it again.
Phase 0 Prototype in hand
Thesis + prototype
We define the problem, test the journey, and decide whether it deserves to become an app.
Phase 1 Internal TestFlight
Useful core loop
We build one complete journey that solves the main task from start to finish.
Phase 2 Early access
Real usage
We open access, observe where it helps, and fix what still gets in the way.
Phase 3 Stores + iteration
Growth
We improve availability, languages, and the business model around proven usefulness.
Principles
What every app must deliver
Four principles that guide what we build and how we put it in your hands.
Made for everyday use
Fast, clear, and available where you need it. The technology stays behind a simple experience.
Ask only for what is needed
Each product minimizes permissions and sensitive data by design instead of adding privacy at the end.
AI with a specific job
We use it to remove mechanical work, not to turn every screen into a chat or make decisions for you.
A few apps, made with care
We take time to understand, test, and polish each product before starting the next one.
Portfolio
Our first app: Yavara
We are starting with a task many people still do by hand: understanding where their money goes without handing over the keys to their bank.
Yavara
Phase 2 · Early accessA personal finance audit built from statements you upload. It categorizes transactions and brings subscriptions together without connecting your bank.
