Why we build this way

We build the software we want to use.

Respect your machine

Native code. Tight binaries. No Electron, no background services, no kitchen-sink runtimes. Your CPU is for your work, not ours.

Respect your data

Local-first by default. Everything you create stays on your drive unless you explicitly export it. No accounts. No cloud sync you didn't ask for.

Respect your time

No tutorials you have to dismiss. No feature popups. No "rate us" prompts. Open the app, use the app, close the app. That is the entire experience.
