Independent software studio

Founded and built by Robert Corbin.

Shadowfetch makes private software people can own: focused apps, a complete Debian-based desktop, and local AI tools that keep their working data on the machine.

What Shadowfetch builds

Two product lines. One point of view.

01 / Apps

Specific tools, bought once.

The catalogue spans practical utilities, creative tools, reference apps, and games for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The goal is a useful answer to a real job, without an account, advertising, or a recurring charge.

How the studio works

The product is the relationship.

Ownership over extraction

App customers pay once. Shadowfetch does not build engagement traps into small tools or require an account where a local file will do.

Privacy as architecture

Local storage, offline workflows, and transparent boundaries are product decisions. They are not a privacy paragraph added after the interface is finished.

Evidence over theatre

Releases, checksums, source, known issues, and current storefront links are published so claims can be inspected instead of merely repeated.

Colophon

This website

This site is a static Astro build served and protected by Cloudflare. Cloudflare’s privacy-focused Web Analytics measures site health, and Google AdSense may place advertising on public pages. Theprivacy page explains those services and their boundaries.

App screenshots, prices, versions, privacy labels, and storefront links are refreshed from Apple sources and checked before each public release. Founder’s Notes are written by Robert Corbin and published separately from product listings.
