Local first

Your data lives on your machine. The network is an enhancement, never a requirement.

where it showsReqTone opens with the network cable out. Nothing on its startup path waits on a network call.

Privacy first →

Privacy first

No tracking, no profiling, no quiet collection. What happens on your device stays there.

where it showsPilPod has no remote backend at all. Its desktop app and browser extension only ever talk to each other, on 127.0.0.1.

← Local first Fast by design →

Fast by design

Performance is a design decision made early, not an optimisation pass added late.

where it showsReqTone uses the webview the operating system already has and does its networking in Rust, instead of shipping a browser engine.

← Privacy first Minimal dependencies →

Minimal dependencies

Every dependency is a liability we inherit. We take on very few, and we choose them slowly.

where it showsThis website has no runtime dependencies. Its contact form is a single request, not a 100 kB SDK.

← Fast by design Long-term maintainability →

Long-term maintainability

Written to be understood years from now, by whoever opens the file next.

where it showsReqTone sends every request down one streaming code path, so there is no second implementation to drift.

← Minimal dependencies User ownership →

User ownership

Open formats, easy export, no lock-in. You should be able to leave at any moment.

where it showsReqTone keeps collections, environments and history in an ordinary SQLite file. Copy it, back it up, or export to JSON.

← Long-term maintainability Simplicity over complexity →

Simplicity over complexity

The hard work is deciding what not to build. We do that work before writing code.

where it showsPilPod Companion works on its own. Linking it to PilPod Desktop is optional, and off by default.
