We make tools that earn your attention, not exploit it.
ilovemeerkats is an independent software studio. We build the tools we wished existed, to solve problems we experience over and over.
Why we build
We start with problems we keep running into ourselves. For tech companies focused on scale, those frustrations get lost in the averages, so they rarely get noticed, let alone fixed. When we design something, we think of people with real things to do. Our applications aren't built to maximise engagement or to be difficult to leave. We use everything we publish. If it isn't good enough for us, it doesn't leave the drawing board.
Software that hands you control. Open it when you need it, close it when you're done.
Independent on purpose
Being independent means we aren't funded by venture capital, so we keep control over our direction. It gives us room to step back and ask if what we're building is solving the real problems. We can put security and ease of use first, instead of whatever sells fastest.
We're building for the long term, so keep an eye out for more tools and ideas.
