We build things people actually use.

Pottery Group is a startup studio crafting iOS apps, AI-powered SaaS, and open source tools. Small team. Real products. No fluff.

See what we're building

A small studio with big output.

We're Pottery Group — an indie product studio based in Europe. We design, build, and ship our own products from zero to launch. No clients, no outsourcing — everything we release is something we believe in.

Our stack spans iOS apps for health and wellness, an AI-native recruiting CRM, and developer tools we open source for the community.

We move fast, care about craft, and measure success by how many people's days we make a little better.

Three lanes. One mission.

AI-native recruiting, built from scratch.

Recrudoc CRM is a recruiting ATS we built after watching recruiters waste 3–5 hours daily copy-pasting between LinkedIn and ChatGPT. Every AI feature is embedded at the exact point in the workflow where it’s needed — no context switching, no workarounds.

  • JD parsing and smart CV import in seconds
  • AI scorecards — drag a candidate to a job, get a match score in 5 sec
  • AI message writer — outreach, rejections, follow-ups in one click
  • Rust backend, PostgreSQL + pgvector, Anthropic Claude under the hood
  • GDPR-compliant, EU data residency, zero AI data retention
  • On-premise deployment available

How we think about building.

01

Ship, then iterate.

We'd rather put a real product in people's hands than polish a prototype forever. Every app we've launched started as a weekend idea.

02

Privacy is a feature, not a checkbox.

We don't sell data. We don't track what we don't need. Our apps work offline where possible, and encryption is default, not premium.

03

Tools should be honest.

No dark patterns. No fake urgency. If our quit-smoking app shows you've saved $200, that's a real number. If our AI scores a candidate 72%, we show you why.

04

Small team, full ownership.

No layers, no handoffs. The person who designs the feature also ships it and reads the reviews.

The people behind Pottery.
