est. 2026 · Hong Kong

I Love Working is a small, independent app studio based in Hong Kong. We started in 2026 with a stubborn belief: the tools working people use every day should be calm, honest, and genuinely useful — not another stream of notifications fighting for your attention.

We build a small number of apps, and we build them by hand. No growth hacks, no dark patterns, no selling your data. Every feature has to earn its place — or it does not ship. If that sounds slow, it is, on purpose.

We are called I Love Working because we think work deserves better software. We are starting with money — that is Ching — and we are just getting going.
