Phareau Kit
Everyday tools, finished and free.
Phareau Kit takes the small utilities people reach for every day, the ones locked behind subscriptions and trackers, and ships them finished and free. No account, no rent, and nothing ever leaves your phone. It starts with Reflections and Pia.

Bog-standard features should not cost asubscription.
Open any app store and the most ordinary tools cost money. The basics should be free, private and finished.
A vocabulary trainer. A flashcard deck. A timer for the kitchen. They arrive wrapped in subscriptions, accounts, ads and trackers, and people pay every month for things that should be free and finished. The revenue is real, but the whole model rests on locking up the basics.
Phareau Kit is our answer. We take an everyday utility, build one finished app for it, and give it away. It does the job, then it stays out of your way. No subscription. No account. Nothing held back for a paid tier.
Phareau is a social-interest lab, not a charity. We give the basics away and earn elsewhere.
Rent the basics and the bill never stops. Ours is zero, forever.
A single €140 subscription is €700 over five years. Phareau Kit is €0, for as long as you use it.
Three promises, built in.
- No data tracked. We collect nothing about you, because we do not need to.
- Fully local. Everything runs on your device, with no account to sign in to.
- Zero external calls. The apps make no internet or API calls, so nothing ever leaves your phone.
Everything runs on your phone. The apps make no internet or API calls, so your words, your decks and your notes never leave your phone.
This is the European way of life, written into software.
Privacy by default. No rent on the ordinary. Tools that are yours to keep.
