The Web Used To Be Simple.
Somewhere along the way, the internet turned into a maze of cookie banners, fake download buttons, and subscription traps.
We're building the tools we missed using.
Why we are doing this
You know the feeling. You search for a simple file converter, and the first five results are filled with ads that look like download buttons. You finally find the real button, and it asks you to sign up for a "free trial."
We are developers who got tired of that.
Lyonite isn't a venture-backed startup trying to become a unicorn. It's a digital workshop. We build utilities because we need them ourselves, and we polish them because we respect the craft.
The "Anti-Pattern" List
- No fake download buttons
- No 'Subscribe to unlock' mid-task
- No selling user data
- No 10-page slideshows for one answer
- No notifications asking for permission
The Code We Live By
Principles over profits.
Craftsmanship
We'd rather have 5 tools that work perfectly than 50 that break randomly. Every line of code is written with intent.
Privacy is Default
We don't want your data. We don't track you across the web. Files are processed and deleted immediately.
Speed Matters
Tools should be instant. We invest in high-performance serverless infrastructure to ensure zero lag.
Sustainable
We are honest about money. We use light ads and optional one-time payments to cover server costs. No hidden agendas.
User Respect
We treat you like an intelligent human being, not a metric to be optimized or a lead to be captured.
Automation
We automate the boring stuff so you can focus on the creative stuff. That's the promise of computers, isn't it?
Built In Public
We believe in radical transparency. Here is exactly how Lyonite is built and run.
