Almagesta

We build small software that just works.

No bloat, no subscriptions you forget about, no growth-hacking. A few products, built carefully, by people who use them every day.

§ 01 - Why "Almagesta"

Almost two thousand years ago, an astronomer named Ptolemy tried to map the entire sky - every star, every motion - into one system people could actually use. It was called the Almagest.

We like that idea: take something messy and overwhelming, and turn it into something simple enough to trust. That's the whole job. Not to add features - to remove the confusion.

So we keep our catalogue small. A few products, each one looked after properly, each one doing exactly what it says - nothing more, nothing hidden.

The reminder app that didn't exist

In 2020 a training exercise asked me to stop once an hour and notice something beautiful. No app could remind me. Five years later, that was still true. So I built one.

Why "Almagesta": a hackathon, a 2nd-century astronomer, and a name too good to waste

The story behind our studio's name: a winning hackathon pitch that went nowhere, Ptolemy's star atlas, and what changed when AI arrived.
