Eleven tools. One bench.
Four tools for the people who design and check control systems; seven for the Mac you use all day — plus a digital-twin service for controller work. All local-first, all free during launch, all built by one engineer.

Explore02The rules
Every line, same rules.
These are product constraints, not slogans: they decide what gets built and what gets cut.
01
Local-first
Files stay on the disk. There is no server we run, so there is nowhere for them to be uploaded.
02
No accounts
No sign-up, no login, no licence key. Nothing to cancel when the launch period ends.
03
Status stated plainly
ShadowFS is labelled early access. Cable-tray design is in NWD Studio's repository but not in the shipping build. Gaps are listed, not padded over.
04
One engineer, direct line
Mail reaches the person who writes the software. There is no support tier in between.
05
Free during launch
Every build is free for now. Paid editions come later; the feature split will be published before anything is charged.
03Talk to us
Take one for a week.
Everything is free, so the useful question is which one you would keep. Ask for a build and we will send the installer and any notes it needs.
