antisuite

The dominant creative tools are built by institutions that do not share our values. Their incentives are not creative. They are extractive.

Adobe is not a toolmaker. Adobe is a landlord.

We reject landlordware.

Creativity is not served by subscription models, locked file formats, or surveillance capitalism. It is not served by monopolies.

Blender proved that world-class tools can be built without corporate control. What matters is shared intent and strategic coordination.

Artists must design their own tools.

We believe

• Tools should be shaped by those who use them
• Capabilities should not be paywalled
• Collaboration should not depend on a license
• Files should not disappear if the money runs out

If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, build infrastructure.

We’re not interested in speed. We’re interested in permanence.

We will build tools

• Community-led
• Artist-driven
• Free to inspect, modify, and share
• Designed for real collaboration
• Built on open standards
• Available through the web
• Composable, interoperable, and scriptable

This is a call to:

• Designers
• Developers
• Animators
• Motion artists
• Typographers
• Anyone tired of being sold back their own work

There is no roadmap. There is only direction:
Away from rentier software.
Towards tools we own.
