Core Principles

The Tanager Philosophy

Software built like tools should be: fast, private, and yours.

⚡

Zero Electron Bloat

Every app is built either as a compiled Go binary or a native Swift/SwiftUI application. Instant startup, tiny memory footprints, and immediate responsiveness.

🔒

Local-First & Private

Your data belongs on your computer. Applications read and write directly to transparent SQLite databases on disk. No centralized cloud lock-in or telemetry spying.

🤝

CLI + GUI Synergy

Never choose between a scriptable command line and a polished graphical interface. Tanager apps let both surfaces talk to the same database in real time.
