We do code. And ship it.
XOR-A Binary Research is a small studio building apps, games and custom devices — from gear management to exam prep to original game design to build-to-order prototypes.

What we build
Apps
Mobile and server-side apps that solve real problems and make life and work easier. We scratch our own itch, then build the thing we were looking for.
Games
We build games to explore the line — how much fun it is for you, and for us.
Porting
We port between systems and platforms, so what we build reaches further than where it started.
./see our porting work →Build-to-order prototypes
Custom prototypes built to your brief, end to end: hardware, firmware, software and the server behind it. Currently focused on wearables and embedded devices. Got an idea? Let's talk.
