Small company, big dreams.
We create tools that solve everyday problems for Windows users: tools that respect privacy, work reliably, and do not require expensive subscriptions.
Portfolio snapshot
How we work
Try before you buy
Free trials, one-time licenses
Every product comes with a free trial so you can evaluate it fully. When you're ready, a single purchase is all it takes. No subscriptions, no recurring fees.
Products
Each product solves a specific everyday problem, from Home Assistant on the desktop to a more accountable lock screen and privacy-first document translation.
Home Assistant Companion App for Windows
HACAW brings Home Assistant to your Windows desktop: get instant notifications, monitor your PC, trigger actions remotely, view live cameras, and access your dashboards without opening a browser.
System Guardian
Kynos is a smarter Windows lock screen that takes a photo and emails you when someone enters the wrong PIN. Unlock with Windows Hello or a PIN, and your running apps stay untouched in the background.
Local AI Translation Software - Offline, Private, No Subscriptions
MAITO is a privacy-focused translation platform that runs entirely on your device. Translate documents, websites, and text snippets offline with local AI. No cloud, no subscriptions, no recurring costs. Buy once, own forever.
Shared approach
Different products, same principles. Every tool in our portfolio follows the same core philosophy.
Every product is a real Windows desktop application: fast, reliable, and designed to feel at home on your PC instead of running in a browser.
Your data stays on your machine wherever possible. Credentials are securely stored, cloud connections are kept to the bare minimum each product needs, and we never collect any information about how you're using our products.
Free trials on every product, and affordable one-time licenses instead of subscriptions. Pay once, use forever.
Pangaia Software began in '22. We needed a better way to translate large volumes of documents, but existing tools were either distracting, did not protect privacy, or both. With Sam's software development background, we built a solution for ourselves and soon realized others might find it useful too.
Rather than chasing scale or venture funding, the focus is on building things we actually use themselves. That principle shows up across our portfolio: Windows-first software, transparent behavior, privacy-conscious defaults, and pricing that stays accessible.
Only build tools that solve problems we have actually faced.
Focus on solving real-world, everyday problems rather than chasing unicorn status.
Make tools accessible and affordable, and be transparent about how they work.
