Every tool we ship runs on your machine, your servers, your hardware. No vendor lock, no surprise migrations, no telemetry we can’t explain.
No countdown timers, no fake scarcity, no engagement traps. If the tool doesn’t help you today, close the tab. Nothing on this site is trying to trick you into staying.
Every paid tool has a free .skill.md sibling. Learn the recipe
for zero. Buy the runtime when the recipe is saving you real time.
Eigenvectors. Codebooks. Compiled specs. When the calculation can be deterministic, we don’t let a language model guess.
The intro call goes on the Squatch CC company calendar — you get whichever founder’s a fit, not whichever one you Googled first.
