Launching February 1, 2025

Stop paying rent.

I've been a photographer, art director, retoucher. I've sat through the Capture One price hikes. The Adobe ransom notes. The "we're moving to subscription" emails. So I built the app your boss will approve and creatives actually love.

TetherPro - Professional Tethered Capture

Built by someone who's been in your chair.

I've shot the 12-hour catalog jobs. Sat next to art directors who need to see it NOW. Culled 3,000 images at midnight because the client needs selects by morning.

Then paid the Adobe tax on top of it. TetherPro is the tool I wish existed.

Art Director Mode

For when someone's standing behind you going "can you circle that?" Markup tools, compare views, per-image notes. Make the feedback loop instant.

Press V. Everything disappears except the image. Show clients work without them seeing your Spotify playlist or that folder called "FINAL_FINAL_v3."

Studio Workflow

The stuff that makes 8-hour shoot days survivable. Session templates you reuse. Shot lists you check off. IPTC that auto-embeds. Dual backup because drives fail.
