Software studio · Open source
Cervantic is an independent studio building fast, open-source software that respects your machine and your privacy. We make things like WebTools, a set of utilities that run entirely in your browser, and Collapse, an open-source file compressor.
What we make
We build focused applications for people who care about their tools. Everything we make is open source, local-first, and designed to be fast. Software that does its job well and then gets out of your way. No bloat, no accounts you didn't ask for, nothing quietly phoning home.
What we're building
An open-source file compressor.
Drag in your files, choose a format, and get a smaller archive in seconds. Collapse is fast, private, and refreshingly simple. All the compression you need, none of the clutter you don't.
A growing collection of small web utilities.
Convert an image, merge two PDFs, generate a QR code, decode a JWT. Each tool is one page that loads instantly and does its work entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, because there is no server to upload to.
Collapse and WebTools are the first of several small, sharp tools we're working on. Follow the studio on GitHub to see what's next.
How we work
A few convictions that shape everything we ship.
Our code is public. You can read it, fork it, and trust exactly what it does. No black boxes.
Your files stay on your device. We collect nothing we don't need, and nothing runs behind your back.
Small, focused tools that do one thing well, start instantly, and feel good to use every day.
Clean code, careful design, and software we actually want to use ourselves, made to age well.
