// what we build

Creative tools

Software for writers and directors — one tool that supports the craft from first idea to finished work.

Personal tools

Utilities that keep your digital life organised and growing — fast, local-first, and yours. No accounts, no cloud dependency.

Business tools

Self-contained software for small businesses. Runs on your machines, keeps your records under your roof, and works without a subscription.

Self-hosted & open source

Open-source applications you can run on your own hardware — supporting the self-hosting ecosystem we build on.

// how we build

Own it outright

Buy once, keep it. Downloads and licences — no subscriptions where they don't belong.

Local-first

Your data lives on your devices by default. The cloud belongs to you.

Open hardware

The longer arc: an open ecosystem where software and hardware are built to work together.
