Independent software studio

Software worth keeping.

We build private, durable Mac apps — the kind that earn a permanent place on your machine, and never sell you out to do it.

Made for Mac

A small studio that makes a few things, and makes them well.

Keepers Code is an independent software company. We don’t chase feature counts or user numbers — we build tools people keep using for years.

Every app we ship is private by design: your data stays on your device, encrypted and untracked. No accounts you don’t need, no surveillance, no selling you to anyone.

The apps

Three keepers, so far

Each app lives at its own home and brings its own personality. We’re the studio behind them.

TackNote

Keep your notes where they belong.

Sticky notes that bind to the thing they’re about — a page, a file, a project — and stay put. Encrypted end to end.

Live

GetFerret

Find any file — even when the drive’s unplugged.

An everyday file finder that catalogs every drive you own, including the externals sitting in a drawer. Offline-aware.

Case Log

Field documentation that holds up.

Capture it in the field, file it at your desk, and hand over a record that proves itself. Local-first, no cloud.

The manifesto

Our Code

The name is also a promise — four principles we keep.

01

Keepable

Useful enough to keep, polished enough to love. We ship few things, made well.

02

Private by design

Local-first, encrypted at rest, no tracking, no data brokering. Your data stays yours.

03

Independent

Answerable to the people who use our apps — not to investors or advertisers.

04

Built to last

Maintained, updated, supported. We make keepers, not abandonware.
