Calm as a stance.
We write software that doesn't beg for attention. No notifications for trivia, no animated seductions.
Studio
A small studio. With a signature.
Qorvano° is a business name of Dustin Dondrup, based in Nottuln in the district of Coesfeld (Münsterland region, Germany). We work in a small circle, on few projects at a time — and deliver what we promised.
"We write software the way a well-made fountain pen writes: without you having to think about the tool."
Qorvano° was started from a wish to build software that doesn't have to keep reminding you of itself. No push notifications for trivialities, no surveillance, no educating users.
We believe good tools step aside — and only by doing so make room for what actually matters: the work of the person using them.

Stance
Principles.
Sparing with data.
What isn't needed isn't collected. What is collected leaves the device only when it has to.
Longevity over novelty.
We care about products still useful in five years. Growing slowly means growing carefully.
Clarity in contract.
One-time purchase or a clearly agreed licence model. No price hikes through the back door, no surprises in the ToS.
Privacy as a design principle.
Where we choose the infrastructure ourselves, we pick servers in Germany and minimal data retention. Where we depend on external platforms — App Store, Google Play, payment providers — we keep contact with user data to the essentials.
Typography first.
Readability isn't decoration. A surface that reads well is a surface that works well.
