01 — LIVING WORLD
Firstlight
A small band of early humans in a valley that runs entirely on its own. One real day is about one year there. No goals, no script. You just watch history happen.

Small apps. Living worlds.
We design and build calm, playful software: a Mac cleaner that never surprises you, a valley of early humans that never stops running, and something new for families, coming soon.
Broadcasting 24/7
On air. Always.
Firstlight is a valley of early humans living entirely on their own. Nobody is playing. Weather, fire, hunger, birth and death follow the same physical rules, and it keeps going whether anyone is watching or not.

02 — FOR YOUR MAC
MacTidy
Find out what's filling your Mac. MacTidy sorts what it finds into clear piles, explains each one in a plain sentence, and only ever moves what you tick to the Trash.
In the workshop
Something for families.
A calm new app for parents and kids, made to make everyday home life a little lighter, and a little more fun. We're polishing it now, and we'll share more when it's ready.

How we build
Calm software, made with care.
A small independent studio. No growth hacks, no dark patterns. Just a few things we care about, built slowly and shipped to every screen.
01
Calm by design
No guilt loops or endless feeds. Apps that do their job and let you get back to your day.
02
Families first
Anything we make for kids stays clean, calm and safe, with grown-ups in control.
03
Everywhere
Shipped to Android, iPhone, Mac and the web. Works offline where it matters, and private by default.
"We want apps that feel calm in your hand, and a world that keeps on living even when the laptop is closed."
