Mission

Technology that respects the people who use it.

OM Software S.r.l. is an Italian company founded by Omar and Mario. Its mission is to publish apps that are useful, understated and respectful of the people who use them.

An application proves its worth at the moment it is needed. Not in the time people spend inside it. An application opened ten minutes a month can matter more than one opened every day, and neither should be designed to be opened more often.

01The founders

Why OM Software exists

Omar and Mario founded OM Software to make the kind of apps they would want to find: few, carefully made, with nothing superfluous. A new project starts only when the company is ready to see it through.

“An idea is worth only as much as the will to finish it.”
Omar and Mario

02Data and energy

Less infrastructure, more control over data.

An application that works on the device does not need a machine running somewhere else in order to function. Two consequences follow from that choice, and they are rarely considered together.

Energy that does not grow with use

A central system costs more energy the more it is used. An application running on the device does not: the energy it needs is that of a machine which already exists.

What is not there cannot be lost

An archive that does not exist cannot be breached, sold or demanded. It is the simplest form of protection, and the only one that does not depend on how well it is guarded.

03Values

Company values

Accountability

OM Software answers directly for every app it publishes, from design to support.

Verifiability

What the company states should be something a reader can check. Where a figure cannot be verified, it is not published.

Independence

The applications are sold, and that is all it takes to sustain them. No product decision has to answer to a second way of making money from them.
