Bantamweight tools that punch above their weight: zero dependencies, zero network calls, one small binary that starts before you blink and phones no one — ever.
★ Main event ★
Shattercut, our video player, against a typical Electron app doing the same job.
★ Fighting weight ★
The entire player weighs less than one photo from your phone. Every byte in the binary earns its seat, or it doesn't ship.
Shattercut plays a full movie in less memory than a browser tab spends showing you a login page.
There is no network code in the binary. Nothing can send telemetry, because nothing can send anything. Your files never leave your machine.
★ How we train ★
Four rules, no exceptions. They're why the numbers above are possible.
Every library is somebody else's supply chain. We compile against the operating system and nothing else — what you audit is what you run.
If a tool doesn't need the internet, it doesn't get the internet. Nothing is sent anywhere, because nothing can be.
No installer, no background services, no registry sprawl. Copy it to run it. Delete it and it's gone without a trace.
We don't build in features nobody cares about. We build in speed. Cold start is measured in milliseconds — the best splash screen is none.
★ Tonight's lineup ★
The video player. Opens anything, starts instantly, tracks nothing. Undefeated against bloat.
The next tool is sparring now. Same rules: no dependencies, no network, one small file.
