Xip Kit
Software for individuals

Tools for people who make things.

Our mission is to unleash human creativity and ingenuity in the age of AI. We do it with small, fast, local-first software built for one person at a time: software you own outright, run on your own machine, and can understand end to end. AI should make an individual more capable. It should not make people optional.

Products

Xip Coming soon

Xip

macOS, Linux & Windows

HyperCard for the AI era. Describe a workflow in plain language and get a kit: a small, self-contained automation that runs on your machine, on your data, with permissions you can read. Cloud later, if you want it.

  • Local-first. SQLite on your disk, not someone's cluster.
  • Works with the agent you already use, over MCP.
  • Vibescript for when you want to see the gears.

macOS · iPadOS · iOS

A new way to think about math: learn it by touching it. Write a worksheet, then drag a number and watch every answer, curve, and surface move with it. Intuition grows as you play.

  • Interactive 2D plots and 3D surfaces you can spin.
  • Scrub any value, drag geometry, transform a matrix.
  • Units, calculus, and matrices in plain language.

Atomic Coming soon

macOS

Encrypted, deduplicated backups for your Mac. Back up to an external drive, a folder on your Mac, Google Drive, or any S3-compatible storage, on a schedule, in the background. Restore any snapshot to a new folder.

  • Encrypted and deduplicated, built for Apple silicon.
  • Runs on schedule, even while the app is closed.
  • A bundled CLI that shares the same config.

TinyDesk Coming soon

TinyDesk

macOS

A small writing and presenting app for your Mac, built so AI makes your work better instead of doing it for you. Claude suggests wordings and flags sentences, but never rewrites your draft. Every edit is your voice, and Claude only helps when you ask.

  • Claude's wordings sit next to yours. Try each in place, then pick.
  • AI Editor flags convoluted sentences and trims. You make each cut.
  • Describe a slide change and Claude makes it in your deck's style.

What we believe

Why Xip Kit exists, in one page.

Manifesto

We believe people want to make things.

To explore an idea. To solve a problem. To build something that didn’t exist before.

AI gives us a new kind of tool, one that can help us think, create, and build in ways that weren’t possible before.

We want that power to belong to the person using it.

So we build tools that are small, fast, and personal. They run on your computer. You own them. You can understand them, change them, and make them yours.

The best tools don’t replace the person using them. They make the person more capable.

The future should have more makers, not fewer.

If there’s something you wish existed, make it. We’ll build the tools to help you.
