We build mobile apps
people actually
want to use.
ControlLab is an indie company shipping thoughtful apps. Our first release is Flixzend — a free movie database for iOS and Android.
Built by ControlLab
Apps published from our studio.
A small studio with a clear focus
ControlLab is built around a few principles — not a feature list for one app.
Quality over quantity
We ship fewer apps on purpose. Every ControlLab release is polished, tested, and built to last.
Mobile-native
Our products are designed for phones and tablets first — fast, tactile, and respectful of your time.
Accessible by default
No surprise paywalls. Our apps are free to use so great software can reach everyone.
Indie & independent
A small studio with full creative control — no corporate bloat, just focused product work.
Built in the open
We listen to users, iterate quickly, and share what we're working on through our newsletter.
More on the way
Flixzend is just the start. We're prototyping new ideas under the ControlLab name.
An indie company
making mobile apps.
ControlLab is an independent app studio. We design, build, and publish our own products — starting with Flixzend, a free movie database. We're not a single-app landing page; we're building a portfolio of useful software under one brand.
- Independent app studio — we design, build, and ship our own products
- Mobile-first apps for iOS and Android, with more platforms in mind
- Flixzend is our first release; more ControlLab apps are on the roadmap
What people say about our apps
Early reviews from Flixzend — the first app we released as ControlLab.
“Flixzend is the cleanest movie database app I've used. Finding cast details and full filmographies is so intuitive.”
“Love how fast it loads. Detailed actor profiles and completely free — exactly what I wanted from a movie app.”
“As a cinema blogger, Flixzend is my go-to reference. Director and producer pages are really well structured.”
“Finally a movie app with no paywall for basic info. Ratings, cast, trailers — all there, all free.”
