Hardbound Studio
Well-made software you own.
Hardbound Studio is an independent software studio. We make private, local-first apps, on Windows first: bought once at a fair price, no subscriptions, and built so that anything that ever leaves your machine is named in plain words on that product's privacy page.

Custom builds
Need something that does not exist yet?
We build bespoke micro-SaaS tools for clients, made the same way as our own, and you own the result: the finished product and its full source code.
Local-first.
Our apps run on your machine and are built to work offline. If a product ever needs the network for anything, its privacy page says exactly what and why.
Bought once.
Pay once, own it, and there is no subscription meter running. On our apps, major-version updates are included.
Built to last.
Small, serious, and finished. We ship tools that do their job well and stay out of your way.
