Small, focused software for people doing practical work.
Each tool does one job, runs on the device, and is built for someone standing in a building, on a site, or beside a vehicle rather than sitting at a desk.
Work in the field happens in bad weather, with intermittent phone signal, with gloves on, or with a client waiting. Software built for that environment cannot rely on servers or make you wait through unnecessary steps.
A tool that stops working without a connection is not a tool.
The data lives on the device, always available whether you are in a basement, an iron-framed shed, or miles down an unpaved road. You should never be blocked by a loading screen or an offline message when you have a job to finish. Backups and sharing happen when you choose to connect, never as a requirement to get your work done.
You own your work.
No account unless the job genuinely needs one, and no copy of your records, measurements or client notes sitting on someone else's server by default. Your files remain yours, saved in standard, readable formats you can open any time.
Honest pricing.
A usable free tier to try on real jobs, followed by one clear paid tier when you rely on it. No sudden limits, no pushy upsells, and no drip of paid extras for things that should already be included.
Small on purpose.
One job done properly beats ten done adequately. Software that tries to do everything ends up cluttered and fragile on a job site. Tools that do one thing well stay dependable and stay out of your way. When a tool solves its task, it is done.
jiea is an independent software practice run by one person. Work is built quietly and released when it is finished, thoroughly tested and reliable, rather than rushed to meet an arbitrary calendar.
