Your tools shouldn't feel like a trap.
Off-Leash makes software for creatives and small teams who are tired of renting access to their own work. Your files stay yours. Your workflow stays private. And leaving never costs you anything.
You already know something is wrong.
Your notes are indexed. Your files sync to servers you don't control. Your workflow is rented, not owned. And leaving costs you something — which is not an accident. It's the business model.
You've felt it before you had words for it. Here are the words: your tools are working for someone else.
Off-Leash builds the exit.
What getting free actually means.
Your files stay on your machine. Data lives locally by default. Cloud sync is optional, never required. No account needed to use your own tools.
Leaving costs you nothing. Standard formats throughout. Your work doesn't need us to open it. You can go any time and take everything.
Nothing to sell, because nothing's collected. No behavioral analytics. No usage profiling. No engagement metrics. We can't sell your data to advertisers — we don't have it.
What we make.
Building a site for a theatre, a venue, a studio, or your own work? Goose has a door for each.
This site is the demo.
Built with Goose. Open your dev tools — there's no tracker to find. No analytics, no cookies, no scripts following you around. Not because we promise. Because we didn't build it.
I spent time inside a company where trust was weaponized. The engineering was real. The promises weren't. I left understanding that a promise is just words — and that the only privacy guarantee worth anything is one the architecture enforces.
