About

Hi, I’m Michael.

I’m making the kinds of apps I wish existed: clear, useful, and not afraid to have a point of view.
Made by Nella is an independent studio by Michael Diffey. It’s a place for apps that respect people’s time while still having a little personality. Right now, that means building InShape—one good decision at a time.
