About the studio

Focused tools that add up to more.

We design focused Software Tools & Services engineered for the people who depend on them. The majority operate entirely on the user's own hardware, offline-first, while a select group are delivered as online services — all developed on a common platform, so that each integrates cleanly with the next and the portfolio delivers considerably more in combination than any single component in isolation.

Local-first

Software operates on your own hardware, with no telemetry.

Engineered consistency

A unified design system across the portfolio.

Interoperable

Each component is built to extend the others.

Rail Navigation — ride the line in 3D.

A 3D navigation system that traverses any rail corridor at operating speed, presenting live telemetry, upcoming-station estimates, and a route overview (JR Tōkaidō Main Line shown). An online, mobile and desktop friendly service, currently in private beta.

Your tools, combined

Individually focused. Collectively complete.

Each component is engineered to interoperate with the next, so a focused set of Software Tools & Services composes into complete, end-to-end workflows that exceed the sum of their parts.

A spotless drive, start to finish
lin-filesearchlin-filecopylin-deduplin-drivespace

Track down any file, move it exactly where it belongs, clear out the duplicates, and watch the free space climb — one connected toolkit for a drive that stays clean on its own terms.

A complete document desk
