Remote-flexible. Our main office is a Paris, France, but we are remote-flexible and have a global DNA. Our current team members are in Paris, the UK and Poland. We will hire the world's best talent, wherever they are located geographically. We can relocate new hires. We meet regularly in Paris and every trimester for a week-long company meetup.

Ownership. We are experienced contributors and we take ownership. We thrive on documenting of decisions, accountability and individual goals. We value full transparency and empathy.

Weekly Release. We release an app version every Monday. We released 250+ App versions on the App Store, with a streak of 240 releases every consecutive Monday. We run multiple AB tests. We test features and ideas in production. Most ideas come from our community board, customer support, surveys and direct feedback.

Practical Impact. Everyone believes technology should be used to help people, rather than harm them. But we focus on practical solutions people can use right now, day to day. We are aligned with Humane Tech principles and need for change in regulation, but we focus on building a product today for everyday use. We track hours saved and so far, we saved over 50 Million hours of human time.
