An independent software studio

Software for the open internet

We build friendly apps that put you back in charge of your online life — your identity, your data, your name. Built on the open AT Protocol, so nothing stays locked to us.

Margin

A little tool that remembers the web for you.

Open Margin

Margin

Margin lets you highlight anything you read online and leave notes right where you found them. It all saves to your own account — so your reading travels with you, and never gets locked inside someone else's app.

Highlight anything

Mark the lines that matter on any page, and find them again exactly where you left them.

Leave yourself notes

Add a thought, a question, or a reminder to any page. They're always there when you come back.

Save it for later

Keep the pages you love in tidy collections you can share, or keep just for yourself.

It's yours to keep

Everything lives in your own account. Take it with you anytime — nothing is locked in.

Marque

Your name on the internet, owned by you.

Open Marque

Marque
