HOW WE BUILD

Principles

Local-first

Your data stays on your device unless you explicitly export it. No developer telemetry, no advertising SDKs.

Small & focused

Each app does one thing carefully. No feature bloat. No pivot toward whatever is trending this quarter.

Honest pricing

Free tier when it makes sense. Subscription only when there is ongoing cost to justify. No dark patterns.
