Sharpingknives — est. 2024, Italy

Indie iOS apps, built by one person in Italy.

Sharpingknives is the studio name behind a small collection of apps in fitness, productivity, and daily routines. Every app is designed, coded, and shipped by Mario Gabriele Sabbatini.

A one-person studio. No team, no investors, no roadmap deck.

Sharpingknives is a small independent software studio based in Italy. The focus is narrow on purpose: iOS only, a handful of apps at any given time, each one carried end-to-end by a single developer — from the first sketch to the review submission.

Mario is a former software engineer who left consulting to ship his own products full-time. The aim isn't to grow a team or chase a category leader; it's to keep the surface area small enough that each app stays well-built, calmly maintained, and answerable to actual users instead of a backlog.
