We make software we wish existed - calm, private, and built to stay out of your way. Our work is guided by three core pillars: - **Local-first & Privacy-first**: Your data belongs to you. We build tools that work offline and keep your information on your device. - **Designing for Quiet**: We believe software should respect your focus and invite deep work, not compete for your attention. - **Independence & Accessibility**: We are self-funded and stay small on purpose. Our goal is to make our products accessible to as many people as possible through fair, sustainable pricing. ## Products ### DoublOne Email that feels like texting a friend.
