Small tools, well bound.

Seven quiet programs for people who work for themselves, each one finished like a book.

Foldwork

Documents that fold to their outline

A writing tool for long documents. Every section folds down to a single line, so a hundred pages can be rearranged like index cards.

Method

Everything we ship follows the same three habits. They are why a tool from 2018 still opens exactly as you left it.

01
Bind it, then leave it alone
Rule 01
Every tool ships as a finished volume. We add chapters, not features, and we never rewrite a page you already rely on.
02
Small enough to read in an evening
Rule 02
If the manual takes longer than a night to read, the tool is too big. We cut until it fits on one shelf.
03
Printed to be reread
Rule 03
Plain type, honest names, no dark corners. You should be able to pick a tool up after a year and know where everything is.

Journal

Plugins turn a tool into a platform, and platforms turn into maintenance. We would rather keep Kiln small enough to read in full, and give it three well-chosen hooks instead of a marketplace.
