Austin Frankel is a student entrepreneur and iOS developer based in New York. He designs and builds apps that solve real problems, from preserving memories to helping students study smarter to organizing classrooms.
Austin built Time Capsule: Memory Vault because he wanted to create something personal in a world full of apps designed to keep you scrolling. Every screen, animation, and interaction was designed and coded by him, from the AES-256 encryption layer to the six hand-crafted themes.
Beyond Time Capsule, Austin is the founder of Study Share, an AI-driven platform that helps students study and predict the SAT and ACT exams, and Seat Maker, a drag-and-drop seating chart app that reached #4 on Apple’s U.S. Paid Lifestyle charts within 24 hours of launch, with over 10,000 installs and 150,000 impressions.
He also founded CodeLab, a coding education program where he taught 72 students to build 95 mobile apps, and co-founded Homework Helpers, a peer-to-peer tutoring program that now serves 35% of his school district’s students.
Austin is passionate about entrepreneurship, product design, and building things that make a real difference. He manages every part of the product lifecycle, from UI design and Swift development to App Store Optimization and user acquisition.
