Manifesto
- 01 Make music.
- 02 Not folder structures.
- 03 Local, always.
- 04 No cloud surprise charges.
- 05 Show the work, not a score.
- 06 Built like an instrument.
Most music software is built to sell features. We are building a rig.
The rig is the place between writing the next track. It holds the catalog you flip through. The masters you bounce. The references you A/B against. The samples you clear. The splits you sort. The deliverables you stage.
It should be one window, not eleven tabs. It should run on your machine, not someone else's. It should make the boring half of releasing fast, so the other half stays fun.
Run your studio. Not your folders.
