We make small software, so you can get on with your work.
Five products: two you can use today, three still on the drawing board. We started in January 2026, and everything you need to know about us fits on this page.
Most software starts with an idea. Ours starts with a frustration: something we had to work around ourselves, or watched someone else work around for years without calling it a problem.
Meanwhile the software everyone else sells keeps growing. Another subscription. Another dashboard. Another export that only opens in the app you're trying to leave. Most of it is built around the company selling it, not the person stuck using it.
We'd like to build the other thing.
Svair comes from the Sanskrit word svairita. It roughly means independence, or acting by your own will.
Much of this industry runs on the opposite: dependence on a subscription, on a format only one company can read, on a system you couldn't leave even if you wanted to.
The name is there to keep us honest.
One product, one problem. Tethr remembers the work a consultant doctor or dentist does between clinics. Authr writes books and publishes them. Neither does anything else, on purpose.
We keep the scope narrow so the product can stay focused. Every feature has to earn its place.
Being this small means almost nothing sits between deciding to do something and doing it. No meetings to book. No approvals to route.
It also means the person who answers your email is someone who built the thing you're asking about. That's our support plan. It scales badly and works beautifully.
Software should leave you more independent than it found you.
Your work belongs to you. It leaves in a format someone else can open. And if you depend on one of our products, you can ask to look inside it.
If we had to fit it on a sticky note: useful software, reasonable people, long-term thinking.
Svair is young, so here's where things actually stand.
Tethr and Authr are built and in beta, by invitation, and people are already using Tethr. Ciphr, Gathr and Anchr are names attached to ideas: notes, sketches and arguments we keep having. Nothing you can sign up for.
We're in no rush. Software that gets rushed rarely lasts long enough to be worth the hurry.
We don't know exactly what Svair will look like in ten years.
We know what we'd like people to say about it. That the software was useful. That the company was reasonable. And that both treated people with respect.
