About
A small studio for slow software.
Firn Labs is a software studio operated under ITIFCO UG. We're small on purpose — two people, working on a handful of native projects we'd want to use ourselves.
What we believe
Four convictions, kept short.
Open standards.
02Your data is yours. We build on protocols you can run yourself.
Slow on purpose.
03We ship features when they're ready, not when the calendar says so.
In public, mostly.
04Build logs, code, decisions — out where you can see them.
Why the name
Firn is the dense, granular snow between fresh powder and glacier ice — old enough to have settled, on its way to becoming something more solid.
It's the metaphor we keep coming back to for the work: patient, dense with intent, made to last. The three peaks in our mark are the same idea in a different form — the smaller glacier-blue peak is the accent, the part that catches the eye, the way one good detail makes a piece of software feel alive.
