Built on a few stubborn beliefs

How we decide what to build, and what to leave out

Practical, not flashy

Every feature earns its place. We solve the problem in front of you, then get out of the way. No busywork, no theatre.

Powerful, not overengineered

Real depth under the hood, a calm surface on top. No wall of two hundred settings to wade through before you get going.

Yours, not ours

Your data stays on your machine. Pay for what you use. No lock-in, and no subscription you forget to cancel.

  • Build any form: fields, wizards, validation, branding
  • Collect every answer into a searchable, chartable database
  • Publish as a hosted page, fillable PDF, or WordPress embed

Why FOBO

Software in tune with the times

Most apps are either toys or tangles: too thin to trust, or too bloated to learn. We aim for the space in between: software powerful enough to run your work, simple enough to actually use, and respectful enough to keep your data yours. Practical computing and business problems, solved properly.
