Three tools in one private orbit.

Each chapter solves a different everyday problem. Your content remains yours.

01 Documents, protected

OnlyScans: PDF Scanner & OCR

Productivity · Android & iOS · Free to download

A PDF scanner with nothing to hide — because it never uploads anything.

  • Single, batch and ID-card scan modes
  • On-device OCR and searchable PDF export
  • Save signatures and drop them onto any document
  • Organised library for every scan and PDF
  • 100% on-device processing — no cloud, no account required

02 Money, under your control

BudgetVault: Expense Tracker & Budget Planner

Finance · Android · Free to download

A private budget planner that keeps your financial records on your device.

  • Track income, expenses and balance at a glance
  • Monthly budgets with live progress and category breakdowns
  • Subscription tracking so recurring costs never surprise you
  • Planning & reports — charts that make spending obvious
  • Core budgeting works offline; no sign-up, bank sync or BudgetVault cloud

03 Creativity, in motion

GifLab: GIF Maker & Editor

Creativity · Android · 500+ downloads · Free to download

Every path to a perfect loop — video, screen, camera or photos.

  • Convert any video clip to a GIF with a precision trim scrubber
  • Record your screen or camera and jump straight into the editor
  • Sequence up to 30 photos into a loop, including boomerang mode
  • Captions, speed control, loop modes and canvas presets for Reels & Stories
  • Edit existing GIFs — re-time, re-caption, re-export

04 How we build

Independent by design. Private by default.

One compact studio, three focused products, and a clear standard for what software should ask of you.

Private by default

Core app data stays on your device. Accounts and sync servers are not required for your documents, budgets or creations.

Offline-first

Aeroplane mode is not an edge case. Core scanning, budgeting and GIF workflows remain available with zero connectivity.

Light on your phone

Fast launches, small installs and interfaces that follow modern platform design instead of fighting it.

Spoken in your language

Our apps ship localised into dozens of languages, from Afrikaans to isiZulu, because good tools shouldn't need translation.
