03 / What makes a tool good?

Good isn’t decoration.
It’s how the tool behaves.

01

Purpose, immediately.

You should know what a tool does and how to begin without needing a tour.

02

Calm by design.

Fewer distractions, friendly language, and thoughtful defaults that respect your attention.

03

Works for real.

Polish matters, but only after the menus open, the buttons work, and the job gets done.

04

Human underneath.

Clear privacy choices, honest limits, and a real person who cares about what was made.
