a small studio for tools that respect the work.
We make software for people who care a lot about something specific. Lawyers writing briefs. People moving apartments. The kind of work where doing it well matters more than doing it loudly.
I built the tool I needed.
In 2024 I had a 70-page petition for review due on a Friday and three more in the pipeline. Building the table of authorities — by hand, on a Mac, with no good tool — took most of a Saturday. The Windows-only incumbent costs sixty-five dollars a document. The AI cite-checkers wanted me to upload a draft I'd written for a real client.
I wrote a script that night. Then a better script. Then a Word add-in. Then I gave it to a few friends in immigration appellate practice and they asked when it would be a product. So here we are.
Veraciting exists because the alternatives weren't built for the platforms or the privacy our work demands. It's still my actual practice's working tool — every release passes through real briefs before it ships.
four rules. they make everything else easier.
use it ourselves first.
Every WeSkye app is something the studio actually uses, daily, on its own work. Veraciting marks our own briefs. fewer sits on our own phones. We don't ship something we wouldn't open on a Sunday.
your data is yours.
No app the studio ships sends user content to a server unless it has to. Veraciting runs locally. fewer keeps your inventory on-device. This is an architectural commitment, not a marketing one.
price like a tool, not a tax.
One annual price, no per-use credits, no per-document tiers, no AI add-ons. The cost of a Veraciting subscription is less than two billable hours; we expect to save you many more.
stay small. stay specific.
We have no plans to "expand into adjacent markets." Lawyers writing briefs is plenty. People decluttering homes is plenty. Each app gets the attention a small audience deserves.
fewer — sibling to Veraciting.
fewer is a personal-decluttering app for iOS. It helps you keep a private inventory of your stuff and decide what to keep, sell, donate, or throw out — without judgment and without ever sending the list to a server.
If Veraciting feels familiar — the cream paper, the lowercase serif, the quiet voice — that's because we built fewer first. Same paper. Same ink. Different problem.
It's the studio's house style: tools for thoughtful people, built by a small team, priced once.
"The tools you use on your hardest day should be the ones you trust on your easiest day. "
