Local-first product design
Testing how desktop apps keep data readable and useful with no cloud account required.
Tenra
Small, sharp software. Desktop and web tools that do one job well, keep your data on your machine, and don’t need an account to be useful.
Work is underway across five areas. None of it ships publicly yet. Every listing says where it actually stands.
Tenra is part of JAMARQ Digital and develops focused software products alongside its client-facing digital work.
