We build small, sharp tools that make computers feel like yours again. Fast to open, honest about what they do, and a little bit delightful. PiFiles was the first. It won't be the last.
We believe the best tools disappear into your workflow. They open instantly, respect your data, and solve one problem beautifully. Our mission is to build a family of those tools, each one born from a simple question: what if this were easier?
Every feature has to earn its pixel. We'd rather ship one thing that feels perfect than ten that feel fine.
Local-first by default. No dark patterns, no surprise accounts, no tracking you didn't ask for.
We prototype in the open, listen to the people using our tools, and follow the questions wherever they lead.
A fast, private file manager for Windows, built for people with large photo and media libraries. Instant search, previews for almost every file, a built-in video player, and photos organised by people, date and camera, all on your own computer.
A local index returns results as you type, across every drive, no waiting on Windows Search.
Camera RAW, PDFs, Office and OpenDocument, spreadsheets, ZIP/7z/RAR and code. HTML, Markdown and SVG preview live as you edit.
MKV, HEVC, AC-3/DTS audio, multiple audio tracks, subtitles and full-screen playback, built in.
Grouped by people, date and camera. Name someone once and every photo is labelled, with face recognition running entirely on-device.
Crop, rotate, exposure, colour, auto enhance, portrait lighting and smart crop, with undo and file history.
Tabs, details and preview panes, tags, network locations, custom shortcuts, light and dark themes with Mica.
Private by design · No account · No ads · No telemetry · Your files and face data never leave your computer
If a tool doesn't give you minutes back, it doesn't ship.
Undo everywhere. Nothing destructive without a safety net.
Fit naturally next to everything else you already use.
Small, steady improvements over big, risky rewrites.
Early users, collaborators, investors, or just fellow tinkerers: we'd love to hear from you.
