Software that stays home.
We build private, local-first Windows apps for your family. Your files, messages, backups and scans move between your own devices, inside your own walls, and nowhere else.
One home. Every job covered.
Each app does one job for your household, does it fully offline, and plays nicely with the others.
HearthWire
Connect the computers in your home into one simple, private network: popup messages, shared and synced folders, one shared printer, voice calls, one-click network repair, and family screen help, with permission, always.
HearthVault
Private backup for the whole house. Every PC quietly backs up to the others, and restore drills prove your files are really there before you ever need them.
HearthScan
The document desk of the home. Scan from your phone straight to your PC over your own Wi-Fi, no phone app needed, and let it file everything automatically.
FolderNotes
Right-click any folder and pin a styled note to it. Why it exists, what's inside, what not to delete: the note lives with the folder itself.
PresenceLock
Your apps unlock when you're near and lock when you walk away, using your phone's presence and Windows Hello. Privacy that follows you around the house.
Everything stays in your house
Your data moves device-to-device on your own network, encrypted. We couldn't read it if we wanted to, it never reaches us.
Pay once, own it
Real prices, one time. No subscriptions, no "premium tiers", no features held hostage.
Built by a person, not a platform
Hearth Software is an independent studio. When you write to support, a human who wrote the code answers.
