In simple English
Your startup cap table records who owns what share of your company. Most founders pay for expensive online services to track this data. This app saves your cap table as simple files directly on your computer. You can back them up anywhere and move them to other tools at any time. It is free to use and lets investors sign documents in their web browser.
What it is
A local-first desktop application for managing startup equity, SAFEs, vesting schedules, and document signatures. It stores all company history in a transparent audit log and exports standard spreadsheet files automatically.
What it is good for
Early-stage founders who want to manage equity, issue stock options, and track SAFEs without paying monthly fees or locking their data inside a proprietary cloud service.
- Stores all your cap table data in plain files on your computer.
- Imports existing data from Pulley, Carta, and standard spreadsheets.
- Allows you to connect your own local or cloud AI models to analyze documents.
- Requires technical prerequisites like Node.js and Rust if you want to build it from source.
- Desktop installers are unsigned during beta, which triggers operating system security warnings.
- Signature requests require a relay service to handle emails and web browsers.
