Our Philosophy

Apps worth keeping.

We build desktop apps we'd use ourselves. Here's what that means for you.

Privacy First

No tracking, no analytics, no telemetry. We verify your license and that's it. Your data stays on your machine.

Free to Start

Every app has a free tier. Upgrades unlock more when you're ready. No pressure, no trials that expire.

Cross-Platform

macOS today. Windows and Linux on the way. Same app, same quality, every platform you work on.

Designed for Focus

Small apps with a clear purpose. No feature bloat, no settings maze. Install it, use it, get on with your day.

Privacy-first. Free to start. No accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions you'll forget about.
