Built by the Agency
Behind the Tools
We don't just ship CLI toys. The same team that maintains Contra Swarm, ShellShade, and Switchboard architects production-grade agentic systems for brands processing millions in revenue.
Every tool on this site was forged in agency delivery — extracted, hardened, and open-sourced after proving itself in enterprise production. When you use our software, you're running infrastructure the same team trusts for Shopify Plus launches, SFCC replatforms, and Fortune-500 AI rollouts.
Contra Swarm powers autonomous multi-agent dashboards we deliver for enterprise operations teams.
Switchboard and Linear CLI run the internal delivery loop on every agency engagement.
ShellShade and GChat CLI are the terminal-first tools our engineers use daily on client work.
Independent studio,
uncompromised tools.
We're not backed by VC money. We're developers making the tools we want to use ourselves, with a focus on quality, privacy, and developer experience.
Every project gets the attention and polish it deserves. We'd rather ship one excellent tool than ten mediocre ones.
CLI First
The terminal is the most powerful interface. We build tools that respect that philosophy and enhance your command-line workflow.
Privacy Focused
Your data stays on your machine. We don't track, we don't collect, we don't sell. Privacy isn't a feature; it's a requirement.
Quality Over Quantity
We'd rather ship one excellent tool than ten mediocre ones. Every project gets the attention and polish it deserves.
