01 / The toolbox

Just what you need.

Three focused apps. A familiar feel.
Pick the one that fits your day.

02 / A shared approach

Your work is complex enough.
Your tools can be simple.

01

Focused by design.

The things you reach for every day, with room to breathe. Each app has a clear job to do.

02

Feels like family.

A familiar visual language across the toolbox. Less time learning the interface, more time in your flow.

03

Built from real needs.

Tools we wanted to use ourselves, shaped by the small frustrations of everyday development.

03 / The people behind the tools

It started with Zap.
Then came “what if?”

We wanted a simpler way to work with databases. So we made Zap. Then we looked at our Git workflow. Bud followed. Notes and tasks? That became Piw.

Minimal Tools is a collaboration between two developers who share an idea: the tools we use every day should feel a little lighter. There are three in the toolbox now, with tst and gem taking shape next.
