Est. in the high desert
Software free of surveillance.
Classic shareware. Modern privacy. Zero ads.
The manifesto
We remember when software was just a tool to help you get things done — not a vehicle to track your behavior or sell you ads. We're bringing that era back.
Somewhere along the way, "free" software stopped being free. It started watching. It started selling what it learned about you to the highest bidder, and calling the exchange a courtesy.
We think that trade was a bad one, and we're not making it. Green Chile Labs builds small, honest tools using the oldest business model in software: you try it, you decide if it's worth paying for, and we get out of your way either way. No telemetry phoning home. No ad network riding along. No dark patterns nagging you into a subscription you didn't ask for.

What we build
Small tools, done properly
We build small, focused desktop and developer tools — the kind of software that does one job well and gets out of your way. No accounts required to try it, no dark patterns to keep you subscribed. Just software, built the old-fashioned way, for people who'd rather own their tools than rent out their data.
