The device does the work
Most mobile "pro" tools answer that question by streaming a real computer from somewhere else. We'd rather the phone did the work: real toolchains compiled for the device, not emulated ones.
Independent software studio
Software for the device in your pocket.
We build native mobile software that takes the phone seriously as a computer — not as a thin client for something else. One product is live today; more are in the workshop.

The studio
The work started from a stubborn question: phones carry desktop-class silicon, so why does serious software still assume you're sitting at a desk?
It keeps working offline
Work that stops when the network does isn't really yours. Where a feature can run without a connection, it does — and where it genuinely can't, we say so plainly rather than let you find out on a train.
Nothing is watching
No telemetry in the products, and no analytics on this website either — see the privacy policy, which says so because it is true, not because it is a nice thing to write.
