Products

The product portfolio.

Six products, each built from our own research needs. Desktop applications run entirely on the user's machine: no cloud dependency, no telemetry, no subscriptions. One-time purchase with included point updates.

TASS
Text Analysis for Social Scientists · usetass.app
Dictionary-based text scoring that is deterministic and provenance-first: every run writes a manifest with versions, hashes, and citations. The free, open-source Community Edition (Apache-2.0) carries the engine, CLI, and MCP server; the GUI Edition adds a no-code workbench with inferential statistics, publication charts, and APA-ready reports.
Pricing: Community free / $149 academic / $59 student / $399 professional / $499 five-seat lab (one-time)
Platforms: Windows (GUI Edition); Windows, macOS, Linux (Community)
Resero
Workbench for sensitive material · useresero.app
A desktop workbench for anyone whose material must stay on their own machine: researchers, journalists, attorneys, clinicians. Per-file secure tagging, on-demand encryption at rest, and local-only AI routing for protected files. Bundles the Ibis, Lector, Orator, and Velamen applications, each also sold standalone; TASS is its companion analysis instrument, a separate product.
Pricing: $199 one-time
Platforms: Windows, macOS (public beta ahead of launch)
Ibis
Automatic transcription · useibis.app
Watches a folder and auto-transcribes audio using local Whisper models. No cloud, no API keys. Originals are kept; encryption is non-destructive and optional.
Pricing: Personal $24 / Pro $59 (one-time)
Platforms: Windows, macOS
Lector
Manuscript editor with read-aloud · uselector.app
Distraction-free Markdown manuscript editor with source and visual modes and built-in read-aloud for proofing by ear. Offline neural voices are on the roadmap as a free update.
Pricing: $29 one-time
Platforms: Windows, macOS (public beta ahead of launch)
Orator
Document-to-video pipeline · useorator.app
Turns Markdown documents into narrated, camera-ready videos with local text-to-speech. One pipeline: parse, narrate, render slides, compose MP4.
Pricing: $129 one-time (waitlist honored at $79) / $449 five-seat team
Platforms: Windows, macOS (public beta ahead of launch)
Velamen
Data minimization aid · free and open source
Helps strip identifying data from research material before it is shared. Built with the intention to support adherence to privacy standards; it does not promise compliance outcomes. The engine, @simdad/wordlist-core, is open source (Apache-2.0) on GitHub and npm.
Pricing: Name-your-price FOSS
Platforms: Runs inside Resero; engine anywhere Node runs
