Why Cranix

Software that's actually yours

Cranix is a small, connected suite of apps — chat and calls (Cranix One), a media player (Player), a notes workspace (Notes), and a game-scouting tool (Scout) — built by one person, sharing one account, on a simple promise: your software should not sell you out.

The problem

Most of the apps we live in treat you as the product. Ads, tracking, data harvested and sold, features held hostage behind subscriptions, accounts you can never really leave. It is normal now, and it should not be.

The promise

• Your data is yours. Export everything or delete your account in one click, any time. No hostage-taking.
• No ads, no data-mining. No trackers, nothing sold — see Transparency, and check it yourself.
• Function is never paywalled. Every feature is free. The paid layer, Cranix+, is purely cosmetic — looks and sounds, never capability, limits, storage or quality.
• Built to respect you. Real security by default, one honest account across every app, and a dev you can actually reach.

Built in the open, by one person

I am Ciaran, and I build Cranix on my own. That makes it slower than a funded team — but it also means no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no investors to please, and no reason to ever turn on you. What ships, ships because it is good, not because a metric needed moving.

Where it is at

Cranix One is in closed beta; Player, Notes and Scout are coming to everyone. Follow along in the patch notes, or see the products.
