Experienced engineers who put AI agents to work where they count, so a small team ships like a much larger one. We build our own products, software for clients and ventures with founders, with privacy and local-first in mind.

01How we work

Agents for speed. Engineers for judgement.

We put AI agents to work where they make us faster: implementing, testing and reviewing. Architecture, product decisions and responsibility stay with us.

  1. 01 · Spec

    Think first, then build.

    Every feature starts with a spec: the goal, the limits, the acceptance criteria. An experienced engineer signs it off before any code is written.

  2. 02 · Build

    Built in parallel.

    Agents work through the tasks in parallel, each in its own branch: interface, data layer, tests, documentation. We steer the architecture and the interfaces between them.

  3. 03 · Tests

    Proven by tests.

    Done is what passes the tests. Even this website checks itself with automated tests, many of them in a real browser.

  4. 04 · Review

    Owned by people.

    Every change goes through a review before an engineer merges it. The agents bring the pace; the responsibility for the result is ours.

02Products

Products we use every day.

We build the tools we need, then use them every day. When something annoys us, it gets fixed, because it annoys us first.

  • Shipping · v1.2TermSplit

    Your tools. Your machines. One terminal workspace.

    Terminals, editor, Git review and worktrees in one desktop app, made for working alongside coding agents. Sessions keep running on your machine.

  • LiveClipMark

    Find what you copied.

    A native clipboard manager for Mac. Text, images, files and code stay findable with search, tags and text recognition, and Quick Recall puts them back.

  • Public previewLeani

    Ethereum data, shaped for your app.

    An Ethereum indexing node you run yourself. It backfills from public datasets, follows the chain peer-to-peer and keeps only what your app needs. Built for blobs.money.

  • Beta · v0.5Voilà

    See your files, not just their names.

    A visual file browser for macOS: waterfall, justified, flow and list layouts, split panes and tabs, search through Spotlight. Collections gather folders without copying a single file.

03Principles

Private by design.

Privacy and local-first are how we build, not features we bolt on: as little data as possible, encrypted wherever we can, apps that keep working offline, and code you can read where it counts.

Privacy, built in.

We build privacy into the architecture, not into the privacy policy afterwards: as little data as possible, encrypted wherever we can. This page shows how: the network log lists every request it makes.

Compare

This website: anonymous visit counting with Umami on our own server, no tracking cookies. The network log shows every byte of it.

This page so far: … requests, … of them to other servers.

Local-first where it fits.

We build apps that work offline: they start without a connection, keep running when the Wi-Fi drops and sync devices directly, peer-to-peer over WebRTC. No server has to say yes.

Online. The cloud is optional.

Open where it counts.

Leani, our Ethereum node, is open source under the MIT licence. Read it, run it, change it, and keep it running even if we stop. More of our code is on its way to GitHub.

04Studio

Three ways to work with us.

The same standard for all three: experienced engineering, AI-accelerated, privacy built in.

Our own products

We build the tools we need, then use them every day. When something annoys us, it gets fixed, because it annoys us first.

Client work

From the first idea to running in production: products people like to use, delivered fast, engineered properly, with privacy from the first commit.

Ventures

Build together. Grow together.

Web, mobile and desktop apps

From the first sketch to the store release, cross-platform and maintainable.

Prototypes and MVPs

From idea to first users, fast enough to learn something.

AI-native development for your team

We set your team up to work with coding agents: specs, worktrees, reviews and tests that keep the quality up.

Local-first, peer-to-peer and encryption

Apps that work offline, sync directly between devices over WebRTC and keep data end-to-end encrypted.

Self-hosting and sovereign infrastructure

Your servers, your keys, no lock-in. We set it up and hand it over.

Games and interactive 3D
