Creator apps & case studies

Creators turning what they know into apps they own.

Each of these follows the same arc: a creator kept hearing the same problem from their audience, Built by Foundry turned it into an app, we launched it together, and we’ve kept running it since.

Every study links to the creator, the live product page, and the public App Store listing, so nothing here asks you to take our word for it. We last checked everything on July 14, 2026.

Ellie Fausett is an epidemiologist who spent years researching vector-borne disease, and a science creator with an audience interested in exactly that. She worked with us at Built by Foundry to turn that research into Vector Guard: an iOS app that identifies ticks, mosquitoes, and other vectors from a photo, shows what's active where you are, and walks you through prevention.
