Private by default
No account unless the app truly needs one. No trackers. Data stays on the device, and when it must travel, it is encrypted and kept for as short a time as the feature allows.
IMIX LABS.
Small apps, built to last. iMix Labs is the studio behind Arcana Origin, Gildhour, Gem Habits and the micro apps that follow: private by default, offline where it matters, one release at a time.

§02 Principles
Four rules every app in the manifest is checked against before it ships.
Offline where it matters
Field tools work without a signal. Reports, logs and timers never wait for a server. Sync, when it exists, is an upgrade and never a requirement.
Native where it matters
iPhone and Apple Watch apps are built in Swift. Cross-platform tools are used only where the product gains from being on both stores at once.
Nothing loads before you say yes
On every site, no third-party script, font or pixel runs before consent. This page loads nothing from anyone else at all.
§03 The sign
Imix · first of the twenty day signs of the Maya tzolk'in.
Imix opens the count. In the 260-day tzolk'in it is day one, the sign of beginnings, water and first nourishment. The glyph is a waterlily (Nymphaea ampla) seen from below: a dark centre ringed with dots, petals drawn as parallel lines, three scrolls at the base. In its animate form it is the Water Serpent, the first snake, the essence of water, the one that raised the earth.
That is the job of a studio: begin things, feed them, and keep them afloat. Every app here starts as a small, complete release and grows only when people use it.

§04 Release readiness
The review every app passes before a store or a domain sees it. Same list, every time.
| Gate | When | What is checked | Runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | Before building | Seven short documents: who it is for, the stack, the design, every screen and its way back, the data, the plan, the toolkit. | Once per app |
| G2 | While building | No double submit. No raw error text. The keyboard never covers a field. Light and dark both work. Back never loses typed data. | Every screen |
| G3 | Before launch | Twenty-item production checklist: headers, error monitoring, spending caps, email from the product's own domain, uptime alert, recovery tested, test data wiped. | Every release |
| G4 | After launch | Uptime every 5 minutes. Usage watch every hour. Passive security scan and cost audit every Monday. | Continuous |
§05 Legal register
Privacy and terms for each app. Pages are moving to this domain; until then they live on each app's own site.
