Independent studio · Est. 2026

Personal software, built by hand.

We make small, useful tools, one person at a time. We build in the open and ship only when the work is good. Less slop, more craft.

No hype. Made in the open.

001 / VISION

We build for one person. You.

For forty years, software was built for the average user. That era is ending. The best tools now feel like they were made for one person, because they were. So we keep things small and hold a high bar. We keep what works and cut the rest. Less slop. More craft.

002 / FOCUS

What we explore.

Four directions. One belief: software should work for you, not the other way around.

Personal tools

Your life, remembered. A journal that actually knows you and holds onto what matters, so you don't have to.

Memory · Journaling · Wellbeing

Media with a point of view

Short films and small magazines, made with an actual opinion and a high bar. Fewer things, better made.

Film · Audio · Writing

Calm information

The internet, turned down. We take the daily firehose and hand back something quiet, edited to what's worth your time.

Reading · Feeds · Focus

Creative instruments

Instruments for people who make things. Built to get out of the way and leave only the work behind.

Music · Writing · Making
003 / THE LAB

From the bench.

Nothing has shipped yet, and that's on purpose. These are the projects on the bench right now. Each one ships when it's good, not before.

EXP-001

Marginalia

A journal that remembers. Write a line a day, and it keeps the thread of your life so you can pick it back up anytime.

004 / STUDIO

An independent studio of one, founded in 2026, building in the open.

No roadmap committee. No growth team. Just one person with strong opinions and a workbench.

The work gets shared while it's still rough, out in the open. If something isn't good, it doesn't ship. If it is, you'll see it here first.
