[ ABOUT ]

Four founders.

One studio.

[ WHY ]

We started Sideband because building software is the most fun we know how to have. Every product here began as something one of us wanted for ourselves, and that is still the whole strategy.

[ HOW ]

We build for ourselves first, then polish until we would hand it to a friend. Each product page has an honest write-up of how the thing actually works, from DXGI capture down to the render loop. The architecture is the interesting part, so we show it.

[ NEXT ]

More products. The list of things we wish existed is long, and we are in no rush.
