We build apps that put people first.
“The people who use a thing should get as much out of it as the people who built it.”
A driver should have a say in what they earn. Keeping an investment plan should not require another monthly subscription. A group of friends should be able to choose where their conversations live.
Those are the ideas behind Ryde, MoiraFinance, and Kaede Chat. We build each around the people using it, with clear costs, useful choices, and less to manage day to day.
For drivers who want control over their work and passengers who want a real choice in how they travel. Drivers set their own prices, and Ryde charges a flat fee without taking a percentage of their fares. Passengers compare car models, driver ratings, and prices to choose the ride that fits them. Fairness means both sides get a say: drivers decide what their time is worth, and passengers decide what works for their needs and budget.
In developmentFor everyday investors building a portfolio for the years ahead. MoiraFinance organises investing into pies: choose your investments, set their proportions, and let automatic rebalancing keep your portfolio in shape. There are no monthly fees or commissions, so maintaining your plan does not come with a recurring subscription. Whether you are starting small or simplifying an existing portfolio, the aim is the same: less day-to-day upkeep and more room to focus on your long-term goals.
moirafinance.comFor friend groups, gaming communities, and anyone looking to replace Discord with a private place of their own. Kaede Chat is designed to be as easy to use as email, with end-to-end encryption and federation that connects people across servers. Join a server or host your own. The goal is a community you control, with rules set by the people running it and no arbitrary platform-wide bans cutting you off from the people you came to talk to.
kaede.chatIf a business model only holds up because one side of it is underpaid, it is not really a business model. We would rather grow slowly than build on that.
Most features get added because somebody could, not because anybody asked. We take things out more often than we put them in, and the apps are better for it.
There are no quarterly numbers to hit here. That means we can make the call that will still look right in five years, even when it costs us something this month.
