Usefuldaydreams.

Some ideas are
too good to walk past.

sunworks turns small everyday discoveries into apps and web services people actually want to use.

From the tip of a pencil
to the tip of your finger.

Nosy about annoyances.
Stubborn about good ideas.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if…”
For us, that’s a serious place to start.

A tool that’s oddly fiddly to use. A lesson that suddenly stops being fun. We could shrug those moments off, but that’s exactly where our minds start to wander.

We build something small, use it ourselves, then fix it. One at a time, we put out things we’d use and think you might, too.

We didn’t stop
at thinking.

What we’re making right now:
the first product from sunworks.

The Eoheung! Hanja tiger holding a brush and a scroll

When “aha!” turns into a roar.

어흥!한자 Eoheung! Hanja

Trade the cramming frown
for a got-it grin!

Meet unfamiliar Hanja, the Chinese characters behind many Korean words, through friendly illustrated guides, and see each one again right before you’d forget it. It’s learning where “one more?” comes before “I should study.”

  • Learn with illustrated guides
  • Reviews timed to your memory

Full launch in the works · Web beta now open

First up: learning. The next daydream could come from anywhere.

Easy on the hands.
Firm on the standards.

So a fun idea grows into a product that lasts.

Get it in front of us, fast.

We’d rather have a small start we can actually tap than a perfect idea that lives only in our heads. AI helps us explore and build faster, but we decide what stays only after trying each version ourselves.

Rapid experiments · Prototyping · AI-assisted

Solid behind the screen, too.

We design what happens after the button press. When apps, web, data and APIs connect cleanly, the fun you feel on day one actually lasts.

Apps & web · Data · API design

Made to be picked up again.

Buttons that explain themselves, spacing that suits your thumb, waits that feel shorter. We don’t let small details slide. People are the ones using it, after all.

Interaction · Accessibility · Responsive design

Grab a
daydream
to go.

Not products yet, just beginnings for someday.
We like ideas even before they find a use.

If a question sticks, save the card
and take your time with the answer.

Turning what we love
into something useful.

The next daydream, the sunworks way.
