About

Built by people who use them

StringsTheory apps are made by Dual Stage LLC — a small team of builders, technicians, and musicians who got tired of spreadsheets, outdated desktop software, and tools that phone home with your data.

Every app is native on Apple platforms, works offline, and collects zero personal data. We build what we need for our own bench, then share it with the community.
