PRTCL10 — Protocol Ten
BuildDifferent.
A solo app studio building software that feels intentional, enduring and quietly powerful. Fast, local, private and beautiful by default.
01 — The protocol
Good software should disappear when it isn't needed — and feel inevitable when it is.
Fast
Opens instantly, does its job, gets out of the way. Your time is the budget.
Local
Runs on your device. No cloud dependency unless there's a real reason for it.
Private
Your data is yours. No trackers, no dark patterns, no behavioural profiling.
Beautiful
Considered down to the pixel. Craft is the default, not a premium feature.
02 — The catalogue
Eight apps.
Each does one thing well.
Small, modular tools built in-house — from code to copy, pixels to packaging. Most ship on the App Store; a couple are still in the workshop.

03 — The process
Seasons,
not sprints.
No roadmaps released to the public. No buzzword bingo. Only rigorously self-imposed constraints, tested ideas, and long walks between commits.
Some projects take days. Others take years. Some are polished; others are experiments left half-finished on purpose. Every product is a response to something broken, bloated, or forgotten in modern software — and every build is an attempt to do it differently, and better.
PRTCL10 — Protocol Ten — is a nod to simplicity, autonomy, and systems that resist entropy. A quiet protocol for making things that matter. Especially if they're small.
