Illuminating ideas from the night.

The studio

NightWorks builds its own products.

A small studio registered in the Netherlands, run by one person, pointed at a short list of things built properly instead of a long list built quickly. Four products are in active development — they're the whole point of this page.

No client work, no retainers, no rate card. What the studio makes, it makes for itself and ships under its own name.

In orbit

The rest of the workbench.

3 more products in active development.

All projects
Common threads

Habits that run through all four.

01

Spec before code

Every project has a canonical spec. When code and spec disagree, the spec wins — or the spec gets updated. Never silent drift.

02

Local-first where it counts

beatrax keeps your finances on your own disk: no telemetry, no cloud sync, no remote account. Lemonfiber runs on your own hardware.

03

Source-available, ethically licensed

beatrax and Lemonfiber ship under the Hippocratic License — read it, run it, modify it, with ethical-use clauses on top.

04

European by default

EU infrastructure and EU data residency, chosen deliberately rather than as an afterthought.
