What We Believe

Contra Collective is built on principles that guide everything we create.

CLI First

The terminal is the most powerful interface. We build tools that respect that philosophy and enhance your command-line workflow.

Privacy Focused

Your data stays on your machine. We don't track, we don't collect, we don't sell. Privacy isn't a feature - it's a requirement.

Quality Over Quantity

We'd rather ship one excellent tool than ten mediocre ones. Every project gets the attention and polish it deserves.

Built With

Modern technologies for modern developers

TypeScript Node.js Electron React Swift Go Rust Python
