& studio.
Kavak Bureau is a design bureau and studio based in İzmir, Türkiye. We bring direction, design, code, and craft together to make thoughtful work for people, organisations, and ideas.
Our current focus is designing and developing apps—from product direction and user journeys to clear UI/UX, prototyping, and production-ready software.
Hestoria and Object are developed by Kavak Bureau, alongside the apps, websites, and digital experiences we create with clients and collaborators—from early direction to launch.
Our wider practice includes brand identity, graphic design, typography, editorial, and print, bringing a considered visual language across screens and physical materials.

A connected workspace for work, time, and knowledgeKeep work in context.
Keep work in context.
Make room to think.
Object brings tasks, notes, calendar, projects, people, goals, and ideas into one connected system—designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
CONNECTED WORKSPACE / 02ProjectNoteTaskPersonOBJECTONE SYSTEM.
CONNECTED BY CONTEXT.
CONNECTED BY CONTEXT.
Object treats work as a network of connected objects. A project can link to its notes, tasks, dates, and people, so context stays with the work instead of relying on memory.
Quick Capture turns a line such as “Meeting tomorrow at 14:30” into a dated item as you type. Today brings tasks and events together; the planner adds time blocking, recurring events, and a calendar density view.
Projects, notes, people, goals, ideas, and areas each have a place. Typing [[a title]] links one item to another; a live graph makes those relationships visible. Projects include progress views and ready-made smart lists.
Today brings tasks and events together, with overdue work easy to reschedule and attention-needed items kept visible. The inbox gathers quick captures; Open Loops surfaces blocked or waiting work. A daily journal includes a look back at this date in past years. The guided weekly review combines prompts with an automatic week summary, while full-screen Focus Mode clears the screen around one task.
Quick Capture opens with + or ⌘N and recognises dates, priorities, tags, and links as you type. The planner combines a daily timeline and time blocking with recurring events and a monthly dot view that shows how full each day is.
On iPhone, quick capture stays close in the bottom navigation, with swipe gestures and haptic feedback. iPad adapts between a single column and side-by-side panels; Mac adds a sidebar, list-and-detail views, context menus, hover states, and keyboard shortcuts. Shared workspaces support real-time collaboration, owner, editor, and viewer roles, invite links, multiple workspaces, and offline work that syncs when you reconnect. Deleted items stay deleted across devices.
Siri and Shortcuts, widgets, reminders, Face ID, and keyboard commands make Object available throughout the day. Search and section shortcuts use ⌘K and ⌘1–4. The interface is planned in Turkish, English, German, and Serbian. Users can export their data or delete their account.
Warm cream and deep-black themes share a single orange accent. Open surfaces, generous spacing, one typeface, and subtle spring motion keep the interface calm; the calendar’s dot grid makes busy and open days legible at a glance.
$4.99 monthly or $39.99 annually, with Family Sharing. Object is currently in development; availability and final plans will be announced at launch.
Object is not yet available. For studio or product enquiries, contact Kavak Bureau.
