LOCAL-FIRST SOFTWARE STUDIO

Software belongs on your device.

We turn cloud-dependent workflows into focused, device-native software—private by default, fast by nature, and useful even when the internet is not.

Focused software. No account required for core features.

“The cloud made software accessible. It also made every click a request for permission.”

Out of Browser is exploring a different model: capable software that lives with you, responds immediately, and keeps your work under your control.
