Carbon is an independent software company building privacy-focused productivity tools. We believe that fast, beautiful software and strong privacy aren't mutually exclusive.
We started Carbon because we were tired of the same frustrating choice: use beautiful software that mines your data, or use privacy tools that feel like they were designed in 2005.
The big tech companies have shown that privacy and convenience can coexist - they just choose not to respect your privacy because your data is their business model. We believe there's room for a different approach.
Carbon is bootstrapped and independent. We don't have VC investors pushing us to “monetize our users” or achieve growth at any cost. Our customers are our only stakeholders, which means we can make decisions that prioritize their interests.
We're based in Switzerland, home to some of the world's strongest privacy laws. This isn't just marketing - it's a legal and architectural foundation for everything we build.
Our values aren't posters on a wall. They're decisions we make every day.
Not as a feature, but as a foundation. We believe you shouldn't have to trade privacy for convenience.
We show where competitors beat us. We admit what we don't know. Trust is earned through transparency.
No VC pressure to grow at all costs. We're building sustainable software that will be around for decades.
The best software feels invisible. We obsess over removing friction, not adding features.
We're a small team building something meaningful. Currently not hiring, but if you're exceptional and share our values, reach out anyway.
But if you're passionate about privacy and great software, we'd love to hear from you.
