Technology for the most human things.
Your music became a feed.
Your files became someone else's business.
Your gestures became transactions.
Egress is a software studio. We make small, sharp tools that hand the most human parts of life back to the people living it — the music you keep, the software you own, the gifts you give together, the journeys you take, the notes you make.
Each one is built the same way: no ads, no tracking, and respect for your files and data — with engineering that treats your attention as something to protect, not to harvest.
Your server. Your music.
A self-hosted music player for your own library — Navidrome, Jellyfin, or any OpenSubsonic server. Gapless playback, EQ, offline listening. No ads, no tracking, no subscription: the player is quiet so the music isn't.
A house made of Windows.
They say people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Fine — throw Windows apps in instead. Native on Apple Silicon, powered by Wine, no virtual machine, and the tools you already paid for keep working.
Gifts, given together.
Share a wishlist. Friends chip in a little each until the gift is real. Dibsy turns gifting back into what it always was — a group of people who care, doing one kind thing together.
Pair with a pear.
Your phone and your car should get along. PearPlay is exploring a direct connection from Android to your car's wireless CarPlay display — with the goal of bringing your music and navigation along, without extra hardware or rooting your phone.
Your Obsidian notes. Your computer.
Your notes belong close to home. Helenite is an independent sync companion for Obsidian, built around your own computer. Keep a local copy on each device and send changes encrypted between desktop and mobile — your vault stays yours.
Your files and data belong to you. A service may help move them between devices, but it should never stand between you and the things you make and keep.
No ads, no tracking, no engagement bait. Software should end the interaction, not extend it.
One tool, one job, finished properly. We'd rather ship a scalpel than a platform.
Gapless audio paths, native toolkits, real engineering under plain surfaces. The care is the feature.
