Our point of view

Useful software should feel less like operating a machine and more like finally having the right place to put something.

01 / Current work

Built from real friction.

In development

Tuck

A capture-first home for the thoughts, tasks, and loose ends you need out of your head before they disappear.

Coming soon
♧

Small experiments

We start with a specific problem, put something useful in people’s hands, and learn.

↳

Human defaults

Technology should adapt to people—not require people to become system administrators.

◎

Built to last

Clear decisions, durable foundations, and a healthy suspicion of novelty for novelty’s sake.

Behind the name

What’s a day boil?

Our name comes from Newfoundland, where a day boil is an afternoon set aside to enjoy good weather, good company, and perhaps a drink outdoors before evening arrives.

The phrase stayed with our founder after a visit—not only for the idea, but for the warmth and generosity of the people he met. It is a small reminder that time is worth using well, and that the best things are often made to be shared.
