We build software
the way you build
a wall.

Some of it runs on your phone. Some of it does not.

Any application built on a model has to answer one question before it deserves your attention: where does what you typed actually go. The honest answer is not the same for every feature, so we answer it feature by feature rather than with a slogan on a home page.

It never leaves the phone

Where a feature can run its model locally, it does. What you give it is processed on your device, it keeps working without a connection, and it never becomes a line in a log somewhere else.

It leaves, and we say so

Some features need a model too large to carry around, so they call one over the network. That is a transfer to another company. We name the provider, how long it keeps what you send, and whether it may train on it.

Which features do which will be set out, one by one, in the privacy notice — published before the first release rather than after somebody asks.

What we will not compromise on.

Nothing has been released yet, so there is no product for you to judge us on. There is this website — and every one of these is true of it right now, verifiably, or a build fails.

  • Accessibility is checked, not claimed

    Colour contrast is computed against the real composited surface, including translucent panels. Target size, focus order and reflow are measured on every build. The accessibility statement names what has not been tested, which is the part usually left out.
  • Strict types, no escape hatches

    TypeScript strict mode with the full set of checks. No any, no type assertions, no suppression comments — enforced by the linter rather than by review, so it cannot erode under deadline.
  • Tests ship with the code

    Not afterwards, and not as a separate line item to be cut. If a rule matters enough to write down, it matters enough to fail a build.
  • Nothing here is fabricated

    No invented product names, no testimonials, no metrics. Company details we do not yet have are marked in the interface rather than filled in with something plausible — you will see them as you read.
  • You can take your data and leave

    Every application we release will let you export what you put into it, in a format something else can read, and delete your account without writing to ask us. A product that is hard to leave has stopped competing on whether it is any good.

Upcoming Releases

We are currently developing our first generation of applications. While nothing is available on the App Store or Google Play just yet, we are actively building the foundation for our upcoming portfolio. Below are a few details about what you can expect when our products officially launch.

  • We are hard at work building our first set of applications, getting them ready for their official launch.
  • Across our upcoming portfolio, we plan to offer options on both the App Store and Google Play, including subscriptions, in-app purchases, and business licenses — tailored to each product.
  • While we do not have download figures or named customers to showcase just yet, we are fully focused on laying a strong foundation for the future.
  • What exists today is our active work in progress, our standards, and the platform you are currently reading.

What we are building is described, without embellishment, on the portfolio.

Nothing to download. Still plenty to talk about.

If you run a business and want to hear what we are building for one, or you have a question about how any of this works, write to us. There is no mailing list and no launch countdown — a person reads it and a person replies.
