Native, not wrapped
Each app is built on its platform's own toolkits, so it launches quickly, feels at home and honors system features such as accessibility settings, dynamic text sizes and dark mode.

Principles
We build a small number of apps and hold them to a high standard: quick to open, clear to use, and respectful of the people who rely on them.
P.02
You choose where data goes
When an app needs a cloud service, it connects directly from your device to the provider you choose, using your own key. We run no servers in the middle, require no account, and never sell what passes through.
Direct connectionBring your own key
P.03
No ads, no tracking
We earn revenue from software, not attention. Our apps ship without advertising SDKs or third-party trackers, and we do not sell or share personal data.
0 ad SDKs0 data brokers
P.04
Built to be maintained
Narrow scope, careful engineering and steady updates. We would rather ship one tool that lasts for years than ten that are abandoned.

Lowline
Our first app: live, two-line subtitles for the videos and live streams you watch on your phone — the original line and its translation, as people speak.
In development · iOS, iPadOS & Android · Planned for 2027
Simulated interface · final design may differ
Open a video, in any language.
Browse to a video or live stream in Lowline's built-in browser on iPhone and iPad, or keep using your usual video app on Android.
One tap, and it's listening.
Speech is recognized and translated in real time. The original line and its translation scroll smoothly upward as people talk.
Subtitles follow you into full screen.
Go full screen and the subtitles come with you. Lock them in place and touches pass straight through to the player.
Bring your own speech-service key. Audio goes directly from your device to the provider you choose — never through Ternframe.
