T-Minus Studio

One team. Four tools. Zero BS.

We build software for people who take their tools seriously — focused, private, no-BS, pay-once-or-free. Here's our AI stack, and the one we use when we close the laptop.

The AI power-user workflow:LearnReadTrackUnplug

Privacy-first

No accounts where we can avoid them. Local-only processing. Zero telemetry. Your data never leaves your device unless you tell it to.

No-subscription-by-default

Everything we ship is either free, open source, or one-time purchase. No monthly drip. No forced upgrades. Pay once, use forever.

Native & offline-capable

Built on the real platform, not bloated Electron wrappers. Works when the network doesn't. Fast, small, and respectful of your machine.

For builders who ship

Opinionated tools for people who take their craft seriously. No dark patterns, no growth hacks, no "we value your privacy" emails.

The four products

Each one solves a real problem we hit ourselves. Each one ships with the same values.

Built in Germany. Shipped for people who take work seriously.

T-Minus Studio is a small operation run by Kapisch, based in Germany. Every product here exists because we hit the problem ourselves and couldn't find software that respected our time, our privacy, and our wallet at the same time.

We ship under EU law (GDPR-native), we don't sell data, we don't do growth hacks, and we don't run monthly subscription farms. We build tools we'd pay for ourselves — then we use them every day.

Frequently asked

Who builds these products?

A small team led by Kapisch, operating out of Germany. T-Minus AI, Unfold AI, Tokens 4 Breakfast, and SkyLocation are all built and maintained by the same team — that's why they share the same philosophy on privacy, pricing, and UX.

Why are most of these free or one-time purchase?

Because we use the tools ourselves, and we got tired of being billed monthly for software we already paid for once. Free where we can afford it (Unfold AI, T-Minus AI). One-time Pro where there's real ongoing maintenance (SkyLocation, Tokens 4 Breakfast). Never a subscription trap.

Are these products connected to each other?

They share values, not data. Each app runs independently — no cross-product account, no shared telemetry. The connection is editorial: the same people thinking about the same problems (focused work, privacy, AI workflows) ship them all.

Which product should I start with?

If you use ChatGPT or Claude daily, install Unfold AI first — it takes 20 seconds and immediately makes every AI response easier to read. If you pay for multiple AI subscriptions, Tokens 4 Breakfast is the fastest way to see what your AI stack actually costs you.
