Smith Syndicate

Software that puts people back in control.

We build consumer software that helps people own their information, strengthen their relationships, and maintain control of their digital lives.

Founded by brothers Josh Smith and Brian Smith.

Our Principles

Technology should serve people.

Every venture we create is guided by a simple set of beliefs about ownership, privacy, trust, and human agency.

Ownership

People should own their information.

Privacy

Privacy should be the default.

Trust

Trust is earned through transparency.

Simplicity

Useful software should feel effortless.

Independence

Technology should increase human agency.
