A cooperative of makers
Software that empowers everyday life
We build single-focus software that helps real people do real things. Made by a collective of product people and engineers who contribute their skills to work that matters.
Why we exist
Empowering individuals in everything we do
Every product we make shares one aim: to be a focused solution that gives people more capability, independence and confidence. No bloat, no lock-in — just software that does one thing genuinely well for the people who need it.
Where we focus
The kinds of software we build
Accessibility & inclusion
Software built with and for people with disabilities, so everyday tasks become easier and more independent.
Everyday independence
Focused tools that help people manage the practical parts of life with clarity and confidence.
Connection & care
Software that links people to the support and services they need, when they need them.
Everyday AI
Practical AI assistants that lend a hand with the ordinary tasks of everyday life.
These are examples of the kinds of single-focus software we build. As we release specific apps, you'll find them on our Projects page.
How the collective works
A cooperative built around contribution
Makers bring their skills
Product people and engineers join the collective and contribute their skills to projects they care about.
We build together
Members work on their own ideas and on each other's — sharing craft, feedback and momentum.
We ship to the world
Finished, single-focus software goes out to the people it's meant to empower.
Have an idea, or skills to contribute?
Whether you want a focused app built or you want to join a collective of makers doing meaningful work, we'd love to hear from you.
