LILYPADLABS · WHERE THINGS GROW.
A small, independent studio building intentional, privacy-first tools for organizing the parts of life that matter most. No ads. No data sales. Just useful software, made with care.
Read onWHAT WE BELIEVE
We’re not building a platform, a network, or another feed. We’re making small, durable tools for the things in your life that don’t belong to anyone else.
No ads, no data sales, no surprise integrations. Your address book is yours. Export your data any time, in plain formats.
Indie. Bootstrapped. Designed to still work in ten years. We pick durable patterns over trends, and we ship slowly on purpose.
OUR PRODUCTS
We’d rather make one thing well than five things in a hurry. Here’s what we’re making.
A contact book for people who are intentional about maintaining relationships — your people, your places, your moments, and how they all connect.
We’re noodling on a second tool — a quiet companion for the parts of life YourPond doesn’t cover yet. Want a heads-up when it lands?
