Slightly Unhinged
Software

Independent software, made in Aotearoa New Zealand

Software with
a story to tell.

We make thoughtful, characterful tools for writers and creative people—software that feels less like an office and more like a place you want to return to.

01 / The studio

Made for people,
not productivity charts.

Slightly Unhinged Software is an independent New Zealand studio creating tools with warmth, personality and a healthy suspicion of boring software.

Our work begins with a simple question: what would make this feel genuinely good to use? The answer is usually part careful engineering, part atmosphere—and occasionally a door hanging slightly askew.
