# Mado Digital

> Mado Digital is an independent app studio. We make Gomi Guide, the trash sorting app for life in Japan, and Brainrot Dash, a meme endless runner. We build apps that solve real problems for real people, not lookalike software.

## Apps

- [Gomi Guide](https://madodigital.net/gomi-guide.html): The app for understanding the Japanese garbage system. Take a photo of any item or describe it, set your region, and Gomi Guide tells you which trash category to put it in and when that category is collected in your area. Available in 8 languages (English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, German, Russian, Spanish). Free on the App Store with optional Pro subscription.
- [Brainrot Dash](https://madodigital.net/): Endless runner game with meme characters, power-ups, and leaderboards. Live on the App Store.
