Independent open technology studio
We develop technology
that helps people
live better.
Individually and together.
Starting with software, we build with respect for your privacy, attention, and freedom.
From Tijuana, Mexico. For people everywhere.
Our philosophy
Technology should strengthen our lives.
Our relationships. Our shared knowledge. Our independence. A healthy life beyond screens.
- Start with people.
- Build around real needs, with care for each person’s dignity and for the people and shared resources affected by our work.
- Make freedom practical.
- All released product features will be open source, with usable documentation and a path to inspect, modify, and run the software.
- Respect privacy and control.
- Collect only what a function needs. No surveillance advertising or personal-data sales. Make export, deletion, and migration understandable.
- Give attention back.
- Help people accomplish their intentions. Avoid manipulative engagement and unnecessary interruptions. A good experience can end with putting the device away.
- Care about the craft.
- Engineering and artistry belong together. Pursue accessible, beautiful, dependable experiences, explain limitations, and improve through use.
- Build something sustainable.
- Earn through useful work, support the people doing it, and fund maintenance. Credit the projects we depend on and contribute when we can sustain it.
Read our full philosophy
A commitment to collective human flourishing
Agape means love expressed through responsibility for another person’s time, information, freedom, relationships, and experience. Collective benefit must respect individual dignity and rights. We choose whether to build, contribute, or collaborate according to what best serves that purpose.
Worldwide impact is the ambition. Size, recognition, and revenue serve that purpose. Open software does not promise unlimited free hosting or support, and it does not by itself guarantee security. We will explain dependencies, data handling, maintenance status, and limitations as each product is released.
A sustainable studio
Use it yourself, or pay us to run it for you.
Our intended model is simple: open software, supported by reliable services. Paid operation, infrastructure, compute, support, and expertise can fund the work and its care. Released product features remain open source.
- Hosting & infrastructure
- Compute & support
- Integration & expertise
Paid services are not available yet. Each release will explain its requirements, limits, and available support.
