About Santaris

We're a small team
with a worldwide
home screen.

Build products that travel — made on one street corner, loved on every continent.

Santaris Lab was founded on a simple belief: a great mobile app doesn't care where it was made. Since 2017, we've operated at the intersection of human need and technological possibility — shipping products from our studio in Ho Chi Minh City to users in more than 100 countries.

We're a product-first studio. Most of our energy goes into our own apps — we pick our own problems, build with small empowered teams, and measure success by the people who keep them on their home screens year after year. And we bring that same craft to the founders we partner with.

The journey

From a first release to a
global portfolio.

2017

The first release

A few engineers, one utility app, and a stubborn belief that local talent could ship for a global audience. It found users on three continents within months.

2019

A real portfolio

We learned to repeat the playbook — spotting needs, shipping fast, growing what worked. By the end of the year, a dozen apps were live across the stores.

2022

10 million downloads

Our utilities and entertainment apps crossed eight figures combined, and we doubled down on craft, performance, and store optimization.

2024

The AI inflection

We wove frontier AI into the products people already loved — and launched a new generation of assistants and creative tools used worldwide.

Today

40+ apps, 100+ countries

A diversified portfolio with 120M+ downloads — and a team that still ships like it's day one.

What we stand for

Values that actually
show up in the work.

01

Think bigger

Local roots, global ambition. We never cap an idea by where it started.

02

Ship, then learn

Real users beat opinions. We launch lean and let the data lead the way.

03

Craft is the moat

Performance and polish are features. The details are why people stay.

04

Own the outcome

Empowered teams with real autonomy — and real accountability for results.

05

Curiosity compounds

We stay students of technology, users, and the markets we serve.

06

Better living

Every app should leave someone's day a little easier or a little brighter.

Where we are

Proudly local.
Built for everywhere.

Our studio sits in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City — close to the talent, energy, and culture that shape how we build. From here, our products reach home screens around the world.
