Digital tools for the
spaces in between.

We are Liminal HQ, an independent software studio building local-first applications. We prioritize user agency, privacy, and calm computing.

Our Approach

๐Ÿ’พ
Local First

The cloud is a convenience, not a landlord. Our software works offline, forever. Your data resides on your device.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
Sovereignty

You own your thoughts. We use open formats (Markdown, JSON, SQL) to ensure you are never locked in.

๐Ÿงถ
Craftsmanship

We reject "move fast and break things." We build robust, calm tools designed to last for decades.
