Slow Technology Manifesto

We believe technology should serve humans, not extract value from them. Here's how we build software differently.

🌱 Slow by Design, Not by Accident

We reject the "move fast and break things" mentality. Instead, we build slowly, deliberately, and with intention.

Your data belongs to you. We don't sell it, mine it, or use it to manipulate your behavior.

Subscriptions should give you access to something you keep, not rent forever.

We design apps that don't demand your attention. No FOMO, no dark patterns, no psychological manipulation.

We're not chasing unicorn valuations. We're building for the long term with a community of like-minded people.

Inspired by Cal Newport's philosophy: Be selective about which technologies you use, and use them intentionally.

We stand on the shoulders of giants. These ideas and movements inspire how we build:

Pay once, own forever. Software as a product, not a service.

Cal Newport's philosophy of intentional technology use.

Own your content, control your platform, connect authentically.

Quality over quantity, presence over productivity theater.

It's equally important to be clear about what we're NOT doing:

❌

We measure success by user satisfaction, not engagement metrics.

❌

You can export everything at any time. No lock-in, ever.

❌

We build tools that reduce cognitive load, not increase it.

❌

We're building a sustainable business, not an exit strategy.

"Your time and attention are valuable. We design features that add value, not demand it."

If this resonates with you, we'd love to have you join our community of intentional technology users.
