What we're insistnt about

Resistnt to enshittification. Insistnt on your privacy. Persistnt about shipping useful apps at reasonable prices.

You know the pattern. A free app gets popular, introduces ads, launches premium tiers, starts selling your data. What began as useful becomes unbearable. We feel differently. One price. No subscriptions. No data harvesting. Because the real product should be the app — not you.
