The AppMill (also written "The App Mill") is a small software studio operating at theappmill.com, whose homepage tagline is "Turning ideas into powerful applications." It runs a hybrid business model: it takes on custom client work (iOS app development, startup MVPs, web platforms, and website design), and it also builds and sells its own software products. Its own products include a family of WordPress plugins for monetizing and tracking video content — Pay-To-View (paid video rentals), Unlock To View, VidLog (video analytics), and VidVix — plus a set of standalone iOS apps (Auto Media Resizer, Streamer Studio & Viewer Studio, HotelMate, WaiterMate for Restaurants, ZeeZome, Dress Nutty, TagPix) and an Adobe Premiere Pro plugin called Wiggler. The Pay-To-View plugin is the most fully documented product, with a free "Lite" tier and a $29 one-time-payment "Pro" tier, and integrates with YouTube, HTML5 video, Presto Player, and FV Player.
Key Features
Video paywall & rentals — Pay-To-View and Unlock To View let WordPress site owners sell or gate time-limited access to video content, with shortcode integration and rental logging (CSV export).
Video analytics — VidLog adds video analytics for WordPress sites, tracking how video content is viewed.
Broad video-player compatibility — The plugin suite works with YouTube, HTML5 video, Presto Player, and FV Player.
Own iOS app portfolio — The studio ships and maintains its own iOS apps, including Auto Media Resizer, Streamer Studio & Viewer Studio, HotelMate, WaiterMate, ZeeZome, Dress Nutty, and TagPix.
Adobe Premiere Pro plugin — Wiggler is an Adobe Premiere Pro plugin for camera movement effects, sold alongside the studio's other products.
Custom app & website development — The AppMill also takes on custom client work: iOS app development, startup MVPs, web platforms, and website design/development.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Builds and maintains its own shipped products (WordPress plugins, iOS apps), not just client work, showing hands-on product experience
Pay-To-View offers a free Lite tier so site owners can try video monetization before paying for the $29 Pro version
Covers multiple platforms — WordPress, iOS, and an Adobe Premiere Pro plugin — rather than a single narrow product
Cons
No public pricing is listed for the custom app/website development services
The product lineup is spread across many small, narrowly-scoped tools rather than one flagship SaaS product
Little public information about company size, history, or support commitments
