How we build

Our four principles.

We don’t ship features nobody asked for. We ship tools that do exactly one thing, very well.

01

Privacy-first.

Your data never leaves your machine unless you explicitly send it. No telemetry, no analytics pings, no cloud sync unless that's the whole product.

02

Local-first.

The app works offline, always. No subscription required to open your own files. Your data exists on your device, not on a server somewhere.

03

Crafted in Switzerland.

Precision, reliability, restraint. We build software the way Swiss engineers build instruments — nothing unnecessary, nothing missing.

04

Open by default.

Standard formats, no vendor lock-in. You can export your data, delete your account, and move on. We have no interest in trapping you.

Twoapps.Bothready.

RetroDot Timer for focus. Zenden for sending files. Both available now on macOS.
