Quiet apps.
Loud craft.
A small independent studio making useful software feel a little more human. We build with care, then stay to make it better.

Help Bao ship a fix.
Three small circuits, each with a new twist. Plot Bao's route, pounce on the bugs, and ship the cleanest build.
Use arrow keys or WASD when the board is focused, or tap a highlighted neighbor. Step onto a coral bug to catch it. A glowing cyan square shows where it will move next—land there to intercept. Space or Wait advances a patrol. Every non-wall neighbor is safe to enter.
No timer or contact damage. Catch every bug and patch to unlock Deploy.
Step onto the sleepy bug to patch it, then collect both green patches.
Row 1: column 1 Bao, column 2 open, column 3 open, column 4 open, column 5 patch. Row 2: column 1 open, column 2 wall, column 3 open, column 4 wall, column 5 open. Row 3: column 1 open, column 2 open, column 3 open, column 4 bug to catch, column 5 open. Row 4: column 1 open, column 2 wall, column 3 open, column 4 open, column 5 open. Row 5: column 1 patch, column 2 open, column 3 open, column 4 open, column 5 Deploy.
How we build
Useful can be beautiful.
A few principles shape every screen we make.
Clear by default
Keep the essentials close to the device. Make optional online features understandable, so people can choose what fits them.
Human-sized interfaces
Speak when that feels natural. Type when it doesn’t. The interface should meet you where you are, not ask you to learn its language.
Built to stay
We would rather make a smaller thing worth keeping than keep adding features that get in the way of using it.
