Fundaments.work makes small, fast tools for reading, studying and typing. They run on your own device, save to plain files you can open anywhere, and never ask for an account, a subscription or your data.

Open source, free to use, change and share
Software should be quiet, durable, and yours. When a tool needs a company's permission to open your own notebook, it isn't a tool. It's a lease. We build the other kind.
Each one does one job well, works offline, and saves to formats that will outlast it.
The reader that files every highlight in your vault
Read PDFs, EPUBs and RSS feeds in one quiet app. Highlight in six colours, draw on pages with a pen, and find every mark in Obsidian or Logseq as a plain Markdown file.
Flashcards that live inside your notes
Write a question in any Obsidian note and Lemma turns it into a flashcard. Reviews are scheduled with FSRS, a modern memory model, and everything stays in your vault. No account, no cloud, no subscription.
Type Nepali and Hindi on any keyboard
Type words the way they sound on an ordinary keyboard and watch them appear in Devanagari and other Indic scripts. Written in Rust and WebAssembly, it responds in under a millisecond and never sends a keystroke anywhere.

That's how much of your data our apps send anywhere. Not anonymised. Not aggregated. None. Every app we ship follows them, and the source is public, so you can check.
No analytics, no tracking cookies, no usage data. Nothing about you leaves your device.

Highlights, books and flashcards are saved as Markdown and SQLite you can open with anything.
Markdown and SQLite
Reading, search, the read-aloud voice and flashcards all work without an internet connection.
No connection needed

Everything we make is open source under permissive licences. Report a bug, send a patch, or pitch a tool you wish existed. If it runs offline and respects the person using it, we want to hear about it.
Describe the problem it solves. We'll take the conversation to GitHub, in the open.
Everything we make is free, open source and free. That only lasts if the people who use it help carry it. Money helps; so does code, feedback and a good word.
This opens a pre-filled issue on GitHub. Nothing is sent until you submit it there.
