The beginning

GUIs were a wonderful creation. They brought the PC to billions.

Sketchpad. Smalltalk. The first desktops. A visual way to touch computation.

The bridge

Applications were the bridge between people and computers.

It unlocked massive progress. Built only by specialist developers.

The same paradigm

For 60 years, the paradigm hasn't changed.

One model: apps built by specialists. It created enormous value.

The hidden cost

To use the software, people had to become experts.

Developers to build it. Experts to use it. Excel. Office. Skills taught in school.

We morphed ourselves to fit the computer.

A myriad of buttons. Learn every one.

For the first time in history

A step change big enough to question the assumptions.

Assumptions that have gone unquestioned since the beginning of personal computing.

GUIs

Do we still click through screens of buttons?

?

Applications

Do we still need siloed, pre-built apps?

?

Software

What even is software now?

A new world

Humans and agents. Both consumers and creators of artifacts.

Then we no longer need apps full of buttons, or skills that take months to learn.

Myriad of buttons Months to learn Expertise as moat

We don't need any of that.

Humans
consume & create artifacts

Agents
consume & create artifacts

Artifacts
the shared output, not the app

Our mission

We're rethinking the interface to your computer. From first principles.

It's time to reclaim your computer.

Layer 1 · of 3

A brand-new interface to your existing computer.

No migration. No new hardware. A more human way to use the machine you already own.

Layer 2 · of 3

Augment any app. Add your own buttons.

Why stop at the features the developer shipped? Read a paper in any app. Almanac adds a button: summarize to notes, or turn it into a deck.

You expand what an app can do, just by using it.

↑ buttons you added, not the developer

Layer 3 · of 3

Reimagine what an application even is.

Now the app itself gets rethought. Down through the OS. Even the hardware.

A clean-sheet stack for people and AI, together.

Interface human × AI, native

Applications artifacts, not silos

Operating system rebuilt for agents

Hardware even this, reimagined
