About
A small studio building quiet tools.
Glassy is built by a small, independent studio. We make tools we wish existed — quiet, private, and kind to the brains that use them.
What we commit to.
-
Files stay yours.
Markdown in, Markdown out. Export anytime, paid or not. Your notes outlive any one app — including ours.
-
No tracking. No ads. No training on your notes.
Local AI is the default. Cloud AI is opt-in and explicit. We do not sell, share, or train on your data. Ever.
-
Open source by 2027.
BSL 1.1 today. The core app transitions to AGPL-3.0 once the Kickstarter goals are met. The Companion extension is AGPL-3.0 already.
-
Designed for real brains.
No streaks weaponized against you. No red overdue badges. Reduced motion respected. Archive over delete. Built by neurodivergent people, in the open.
We don't take VC money. We don't sell ads. We don't train models on your notes. The business is simple: people pay us a fair price for software that respects them.
Our team is neurodivergent. That's not a tagline — it's the lens that shapes every design decision, from the empty inbox on first launch to the gentle keyboard shortcuts you'll discover three weeks in.
We believe your knowledge should outlive any one app. That's why Glassy is built around Markdown, open standards, and a real MCP server — so your Second Brain stays readable by AI agents long after the current web framework is retired.
