Profolio
Live on Upthink
Professional identity in one tap: a smart business card, QR code, and company profile that can be shared without asking the recipient to install an app.
Apps by Nikhil Pahwa
Small tools for people with unfinished work.
Upthink is a portfolio of focused apps built around identity, information, and decision workflows. The work is practical, opinionated, and designed to be useful before it becomes big.
Three live products
Profolio for identity. Inbox for intent. ChartNama for publication-ready charts.
Apps with a clear job.
Each app starts with a narrow problem: what needs to be shared, finished, found, or decided next?
Inbox
Android file manager
An intent-first file manager for downloads and saved links. Inbox treats files as unfinished decisions, then gives them a place to wait, move, and come back.
ChartNama
Editorial charts
Strict charts for editorial-grade output. Load structured data, map axes explicitly, choose a chart family, and export publication-ready PNGs with no styling drift.
Working principles
Useful before it is ambitious.
01
Start with the repeated annoyance.
The apps are built around small moments that keep returning: sharing who you are, dealing with downloads, organizing what still needs attention.
02
Design for action, not storage.
Information becomes valuable when it can be shared, finished, recovered, or moved into the right context.
03
Keep the surface small.
Each product should have a sharp first screen and a reason to exist without needing a long explanation.
Upthink is the home for Nikhil Pahwa's app experiments.
More products will be added here as they move from idea to usable software.
