No tracking
No ads, no profiling, no data passed to third parties.
Software you can trust, maintained over time.
OM Software makes essential apps for work and everyday life.
FeaturedThe safest data is the data you never collectSimplicity is designed. Every decision made before release is one less step for the person using the app. The result shows at once: it opens, it makes sense, it does its job.
01Principles
In every application
FIG 0.2
Only the data needed
Information is requested only when the app cannot work without it.
FIG 0.3
Essential interfaces
Each screen shows what is needed at that moment, and nothing more.
FIG 0.4
Reliability
Predictable behaviour: every feature does the same thing, the same way, every time.
02In the open
The data rules, line by line
What is collected, where it is processed and how long it is kept.

03Commitments
From the first day to the last
Before you install it
What it does, what it costs and what data it uses: all of it is stated before you install.
While you use it
Regular updates for as long as the app is in use, and terms that stay the ones you agreed to at first launch.
When it is gone
Every product ends sooner or later. What people created with an app stays readable without it.

Where your data lives: on your device or in the cloud?
When an application processes information, that work happens either on the device or on a remote server. Where it happens decides who can reach the data.
