01 / Our approach

In your workflow.
Out of your way.

Good software starts with something worth making easier.
We follow the problem, with room for new ideas.

Everyday usefulness

A clear purpose.

A repeated task. An awkward handover. A missing piece. We start with something that could work better, then build around that need.

Small improvements that matter.

Independent thinking

Room to explore.

Sometimes the answer belongs in a tool you already use. Sometimes it needs a space of its own. We let the idea shape the software.

Curiosity, put into practice.

02 / Below the surface

Independent.
By the sea.
Into the details.

Untiefe is the independent software studio of Robert Freese, based in Stralsund on Germany’s Baltic coast.

“Untiefe” is a German word with two opposing meanings: a shallow shoal and a great depth. The same word can take you close to the surface or far beneath it.

That’s a fitting idea for the software we want to make: approachable on the surface, with depth where it matters. Clear in its purpose, considered in its details.
