Approach

How we build

A few rules we hold every app to, from the first sketch to the hundredth release.

  1. 01

    Private by default

    No ads, no trackers in the apps, no accounts unless they're truly needed. What you put in stays with you.

  2. 02

    Native to every screen

    Each app is designed for the device it runs on โ€” a phone, a tablet, a TV remote or a desktop.

  3. 03

    Small and focused

    Every app does one thing well, then keeps getting better at it. No bloat, no dark patterns.
