Small software, made properly.
CodeBakery builds focused products for families, professionals and developers — each one narrow enough to stay good, and looked after long after launch.
The products
Nine, across family life, professional work and developer tooling.

One problem per product
Every product does a narrow thing properly, instead of growing into a suite nobody asked for.
Launch is the beginning
Products stay updated and supported. The ones that stop earning their place get archived honestly, not quietly abandoned.
Every product states what it stores
Each publishes its own privacy policy, linked from this site — worth a minute before you install anything, here or anywhere.
Some of it is open source
Watchfire and TabArrange are developed in the open, with the source on GitHub.
An independent studio
CodeBakery is a small, independent software studio in Germany, founded and run by Nicolas Mehlei. It publishes its own products rather than taking client work, which is what makes it possible to keep them narrow and to keep maintaining them.
