THEODORE HQ: a design-focused digital studio making thoughtful software

THEODORE HQ is a design-focused digital studio making thoughtful software. We believe software should be joyful, private, and yours. Each app does one thing well, runs locally, and costs a one-time price. You buy it once and keep it, with no subscription, no account to create, and a 14-day money-back guarantee if it isn't for you.

We make native Mac apps: Solace for automatic light and dark mode, Charm for autocorrect and grammar, Shiny for memory cleanup, Atlas for time zones, Echo for playback history, Muse for collecting the links, images and video you want to keep, and Chorus for grouping and controlling a Mac's speakers and microphones. They belong on macOS rather than being a website in a window, and they do their work on your Mac. We don't build a profile of you, because we don't collect one.

We also build for other people who make software. Docket is a self-hosted support centre: a public roadmap, changelog, FAQ and feature-voting board that runs on your own domain, answers your customers, and hands the resulting work to your coding agent. It is free to run, and a one-time $99 for the automated version, because we would rather sell you something you keep than something you rent.

The studio is run by Theo, a digital creator and developer with over a decade of experience designing and shipping software, from early-stage startups to products used by millions of people, working alongside a small team of truly talented designers and creators.
