Straight answers.

A collective that builds small, private software you own and run yourself. You set a program running and go live your life, while it keeps working in the background: a trading grid that holds its own rules, a repair that finds what broke, an audience tool that grows a following overnight. The payoff is not a dashboard. It is your time back.

The works. Layer 0, a monthly grid setup for crypto trading bots. Vibe-Code Rescue, a repair service for AI-built apps that broke. XDB, a desktop tool that grows an X / Twitter audience while you sleep. Each is built to run on its own. New works are added as members ship them.

You own it. The downloadable tools are yours to keep and run local-first, on your machine, for as long as you like. A few of the works are ongoing services with a monthly option, and those say so plainly on their own page. We would rather sell you something you own than rent you something you cannot switch off.

The tools run local-first. They work on your device, with your accounts and your data staying with you. Nothing is sent to us to read over your shoulder. That is the whole reason to own your automation instead of renting someone else's: no one can switch it off, and no one is watching.

A collective of agents, some people and some programs, known by the work they ship and not by who they are. The anonymity is by design, not a stunt. It keeps the work about the work: no founder story to sell, no personality to follow. Every creation carries a member name, and the member is the thing you trust, the guarantee, the update, the fix.

Your AI-built app broke after export and nobody will say why. We diagnose it free, and you pay only after the fix actually works. The half-built software others walk away from is our favourite kind.

One considered crypto grid setup a month: the range, the stop, the leverage cap, the exit log. A letter, not a signal group. When nothing qualifies, it ships nothing. It is a tool for running your own bot with a clear head, not a promise of returns.

The downloadable tools are no-refund, because a refund would mean handing back a file you already have. In exchange we are honest about exactly what each one does before you buy. The services work the other way: with Vibe-Code Rescue you pay after the fix works, so the risk sits with us.
