A tiny software studio · Toronto

Quiet software
for a noisy world.

We make small, free tools that handle life's boring parts in the background — so you can forget they exist.

Two tools, live today. Free to use. No account needed to look around.

Why quiet

Everything you install wants something from you.

Your attention. Your data. A subscription. A streak. One more red badge that never quite hits zero. Somewhere along the way, software stopped being a tool and started behaving like a slot machine.

Quietware is a small rebellion against that. Every tool we make does one genuinely useful thing, then leaves you alone. No feeds to scroll. No upsells mid-task. No reason to open it just to check. It works in the background and earns its keep by saving you attention, not stealing it.

The work

Two tools, quietly working.

Each does a single useful thing, costs nothing to use, and keeps running so you don't have to think about it.

Made differently

Four rules everything follows.

Not features — constraints. They're what make a Quietware tool feel like a Quietware tool.

🤫

Quiet by design

It shows up exactly when it's useful and not a second more. No attention-farming, no dark patterns, no badge begging to be tapped.

🎁

Free to use

Everything runs on the free tiers of the services it uses, so the core stays genuinely free — not free-trial free.

⚙️

Runs itself

Set it up once. It works in the background every day — no dashboard to babysit, no check-ins, no maintenance.

🔒

Yours, not ours

Read-only access where we can manage it, encrypted where we can't, and never sold. Privacy is the starting point, not a setting.

The manifesto

Software should be a good houseguest. It helps when asked, stays out of the way when it's not, and never rifles through your things.

It shouldn't cost money you don't have or attention you can't spare. And it should be finishable — you set it up, it works, you get on with your life. Every tool we build has to pass one test: does it make your day quieter?

Who's behind it

Made by a team of ten who got tired of apps that nag, upsell, and hoard.

Quietware is a ten-person studio in Toronto — no investors, no growth team, no roadmap meetings. Just small tools, shipped when they're ready and kept free because they're genuinely cheap to run. If a tool ever stops being useful or honest, it doesn't ship.

Straight answers

The obvious questions.

Is it really free?+
Yes. Each tool runs on the free tiers of the services it uses, so there's almost nothing to pay for — and nothing we need to charge you for. Homeground has optional paid tiers for power-user features, but its core digest stays free forever, and Nagmail is fully free.
What's the catch?+
There isn't one, and here's why we can say that: no ads, no selling your data, no bait-and-switch trial that quietly starts billing. The tools are cheap to run and built by a small team, so "free" is actually sustainable instead of a growth tactic.
Will it stay free?+
The free core, yes — that's the whole point. If a tool ever needs paid tiers to cover real costs, those are for extras, and the useful core stays free.
Is my data safe?+
Read-only access wherever we can manage it (Nagmail only ever reads deadline-shaped emails, for example), encrypted tokens at rest, and your data is never sold or shared with advertisers. Privacy isn't a feature here; it's the design.
Who makes this?+
A ten-person studio in Toronto, building the opposite of the software that annoyed us. No VC, no growth team. Say hi anytime at hi@quietware.bond.

Small tools. Big quiet.

Pick one, connect it in a couple of minutes, and let it get to work. That's the whole pitch.
