Code. Pixels. Play.

We are an independent software studio. We build local-first, open-source desktop software, creative tools, and games — and we build them for other companies too.

How we build

Software that keeps working when we stop

Local-first

Your data lives on your machine and works offline. Sync is a feature you turn on, not a condition of using the thing.

Open source

Most of what we build is public. You can read it, fork it, and keep running it if we disappear.

No telemetry

Our apps do not phone home. There is no asterisk on that — and this site carries no analytics script either. Even the fonts are ours.

Native speed

Desktop software should start instantly and stay out of the way. We ship small binaries, not browsers in a trench coat.

The services arm

We also build other people's software

The same team, the same standards, on your roadmap instead of ours. We keep the client list short on purpose.

Full-stack development

React, Node, Python, Three.js, Cloudflare Workers, Postgres, D1.

Product design

Design systems, Figma-to-code production builds, accessible by default.

AI integration

Model routing, agentic workflows, image and video pipelines.
