Every detail has a reason.
Every tap, sound and animation is there because it makes the experience better.
Meet the studio
A small studio with
a restless streak.
Judder Studio is an independent app and game studio based in Lawrenceville, Georgia. We build things that are useful, playful and made to last.
Our story
Judder Studio started with a simple frustration: most apps are either well engineered or delightful, and rarely both.
Our founder, Ammar Nassri, has spent his career on both sides of that line. He studied communication and computer engineering, then earned an MFA in Animation from SCAD. He's worked as a senior software engineer building products used every day, and he teaches web development at Gwinnett Technical College and Lanier Technical College.
Judder Studio is where those two halves meet. Every app we make gets an engineer's care for how it works and an animator's care for how it feels.
Why “Judder”?
A judder is a rattle
nobody expects.
It's the shake you feel when something won't sit still. We like that. We want our work to rattle the familiar a little, to be the thing that makes people look twice. Look closely at our logo: one letter never quite sits still.
What we believe
Kids deserve better apps.
No manipulative ads, no dark patterns, no endless upsells aimed at children.
Respect people’s attention.
We’d rather you love an app for ten minutes than feel stuck in it for an hour.
Small team, big care.
We’re independent, so we answer to the people who use our apps, not to a growth chart.
Made with kids in mind
Many of our apps are made for children, so we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Our kids' apps don't show third-party ads, don't push purchases at children, and are designed to be played with a parent nearby. Any purchase sits behind a parent gate.

Different ideas. Same approach.
Learning for kids.
Gentle, playful apps that help children learn real skills, from early math to reading Arabic. Built to be safe, calm and ad-free.
Games worth coming back to.
Satisfying puzzles with simple rules and clever depth. Easy to pick up, hard to put down for the right reasons.
Tools for everyday life.
Practical apps that take small stresses off your plate, like keeping a household on the same page.
“I spent years as an engineer and an animator, and I kept wanting both halves in the same product. Judder Studio is where they finally meet.”
