The NoBloat standard

Software should be
quietly excellent.

01

One useful job.

Every tool has a clear purpose. Nothing gets added just to make it look more “complete.”

02

Your device, your data.

No account walls, unnecessary cloud sync, or silent collection of your everyday behavior.

03

Easy in. Easy out.

Simple downloads, clear settings, and no weird leftovers when you decide you are done.

Two tools are live

Pick a problem.
Fix it. Keep it simple.

NoBloat Dimmer and NoBloat Launch Control are local-first Windows apps. Preferences and safety backups stay on your device, and both projects are public on GitHub.
