Software that's
private
by design.
We're a tiny team building fast, local-first apps you actually own — media tools, study suites, and games. Most are free; we only charge for the ones that cost real money to run.
Built to do one thing brilliantly
A few of our flagship apps. Each is local-first, private by default, and ready right now.
Apex StudioFREE
Download and convert media across 20+ formats with a fast, fully-local backend.
Student SuitePAID
Courses, flashcards, AI tutors, resume & interview tools — everywhere you study.
LucidCutFREE
Pinpoint word detection plus beta imagery detection — the go-to for cleaning up movies and videos.
Your data never has to phone home.
Four promises we
refuse to break
We're small, so we can build the way we'd want software built for us — and we listen when you tell us what to fix.
Genuinely fast
Local-first means no waiting on the cloud to feel instant.
Private by default
Your files and data stay on your device. No tracking, no resale.
Free where we can
Most apps are free. We only charge for ones that cost money to maintain and run.
Shaped by your feedback
Every app has feedback built in. You tell us what to build — we build it.
Help keep the studio running
We're a small team and most of what we make is free. If our software has helped you, a donation keeps the servers on and the updates coming. And we give 10% of profits to charities and nonprofits — so supporting us helps people in need, too.
Designed in the open
Pegumax is shaped by the people who use it. Here's where that happens.
