One job
Everything that lasts does one job so well you forget it's there. That's the bar for every app we make.

Most apps on your phone won't outlive your phone. We're building the ones your kids will inherit.

[01 / Thesis]
Your grandfather's watch still keeps time. The song your mother played in the car still gets played. Almost nothing on your phone will last that long. Software can be made the way a good chair is made: used every day for thirty years, then handed down. That's the only kind we make.
[02 / Principles]
How a thing lasts thirty years
02
Outlive the trend
Trends move in seasons. We design for the person you'll be in twenty years, and the phone you haven't bought yet.
03
Tended by machines
Software rots when nobody looks after it. Ours is looked after by machines that never get tired of it.
04
Signed by hand
Machines can draft endless versions. A person chooses the one worth keeping and puts their name on it.
[03 / Horizon]
The long way to 2056
Between now and then, phones will change shape and most of the apps on them will vanish. These are the checkpoints we're building toward.
