We’re building the next-generation of mobile first photography tools to enable full creative freedom.
Founded in 2014, we are a small team proud to be fully independent, self funded, profitable, growing, and 2020 Apple Design Award winning. We are distributed across the world.
Our primary aim is to bridge the gap between what people envision in their mind, and what they see on screen. The tools we build are the conduit to achieve people's vision, to help them be more creative and efficient. To that end we build principled, opinionated solutions that solve real challenges for creative photographers. We believe the photo & video editing market deserves much higher quality creative tools that are not just functional, but are also efficient, easy to use, innovative, inspiring, and liberating.
You don’t take a photograph, you make it.– Ansel Adams
To reach our goals, we weigh our intuitions and data as much as expert and our customer's feedback, and decide with confidence. We work hard to keep a steady momentum on progress and iteration. Constantly re-balancing our attention between investing in innovative new features and technology, revisiting our previous creations, correcting unintended mistakes, and growing our business.
