DocMaker Studio
A small software studio

Small, sharp apps for the paperwork of ordinary life.

DocMaker Studio makes tools for the jobs that sit between real work and real life — the PDF that has to be signed by five, the week that two people are trying to plan at once. Two are out now. More are on the way.

How the studio works

Four rules that decide what gets built and what does not.

One job, done properly

Every app here exists because something ordinary was more annoying than it needed to be. None of them try to be a platform. You should be able to learn one in a minute and never think about it again.

Your files stay yours

MyDocMaker runs entirely on your own machine — nothing is uploaded to build a PDF. Where an app has to sync, like the calendar, it stores the least it can and shows you exactly who can see what.

No subscription reflex

Personal use is free where it can be. When something costs money it is because it costs money to run, and the price is on the page rather than behind a form.

Built to be finished

A small app that is done is better than a big one that is perpetually almost ready. Things ship when they work, and then they get left alone.

On the drawing board

These have a name, a sketch and a reason to exist — and nothing more than that yet. They are here so you can see where the studio is heading, not because they are nearly ready. When one starts being built, it moves up the page.

Want a nudge when one of these turns real? Say which, and you will get one email — the day it launches.

Got something that ought to be easier than it is?

That is where most of these came from. Tell me the annoying part — it might turn into the next one.
