What we believe
Software should feel like a good friend: patient, honest and a little bit delightful. We sweat the details most teams skip, keep your data where it belongs, and ship products that make hard days easier.

Liao
Founder & Software Engineer
I'm a software engineer who loves building things end to end, from the first line of code to the moment someone smiles at a tiny animation.
I started Pebble Bytes to make software with more care in it. I designed, built and shipped Crumpet on my own: the SwiftUI app, widgets, Siri shortcuts, in-app purchases, sound design, the website and its AI features.
Today I build our own products and partner with teams on mobile, web and AI work.
How we work
Four quiet promises.
Privacy by default
We collect as little as possible and keep data on your device whenever we can.
Built for every brain
Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and plain language are part of the build, never an afterthought.
Honest pricing
No dark patterns. Free to start, long trials and one-time purchases where it makes sense.
Delight in the details
Sound, motion and words tuned until they feel just right.
