People ask about the name more than they ask about the apps. Fair enough: it isn’t obvious. Here’s the short version.
Eleven, six
Say it quickly and you get 116. Element 116 is livermorium, a superheavy element first made in a lab in 2000. Its symbol is Lv, and that tile is our logo.
elevensix is the table the apps sit on, not a badge stamped on top.
A table, not a badge
Each app gets its own tile beside ours, numbered in the order we started them:
- KTL, where you can only level up when your partner boosts you.
- Flaggish, feature flags for the release that isn’t ready on a Friday.
- Kaptr, the wedding photo app your guests don’t have to download.
Each one keeps its own name, colours and voice. You can use KTL without ever knowing elevensix exists, and that’s the point.
Why it stuck
A periodic table has room for more. There are 118 cells and we’re using four. That felt like the right amount of ambition for two people in Scotland.
