What every Ametrine project promises

These aren't features we add later. They're the rules we build to from the first line of code.

  • No telemetry

    Our software never phones home. What you do with it stays on your machine.

  • Local-first

    Everything works offline, on your own hardware, without an account or a cloud service.

  • Small and portable

    Minimal dependencies, so our tools build quickly and run almost anywhere.

  • Free for everyone

    GPL and LGPL licensed. Anyone can use it, read the code and make it better.
