Most "privacy-focused" apps look terrible. Clunky buttons, weird fonts, UI from 2010. The assumption seems to be: if you care about security, you don't care about design.
Meanwhile, mainstream apps with gorgeous interfaces are surveillance machines—tracking your every tap, selling your data, stuffing ads into every corner.
We've spent over a decade proving that's a false choice. Beautiful design works better with local-first architecture and zero tracking. Here's what we've built.

Learn More →The Philosophy
Good design isn't decoration—it's clarity. Every pixel serves a purpose. We obsess over typography, spacing, and interaction design because simple things should feel simple.
When you combine that with privacy-first architecture—local processing, zero tracking, no cloud dependencies—you get something rare: software that's both gorgeous and trustworthy.
What Makes These Different
Local-First Architecture
Everything runs on your device. No analytics. No ad SDKs. No telemetry.
Modern SwiftUI
Built with Apple's latest frameworks for smooth performance and native feel.
No Dark Patterns
No rating prompts. No notification spam. No manipulative design. Just software that does what you want.
Open Source (When Possible)
Many apps are publicly auditable on GitHub. You can verify our claims yourself.
Beautiful software that respects you isn't rare because it's hard to build—it's rare because most companies don't care enough to try.
