Why KWAS

Built the way we'd want to use it.

KWAS started as a handful of tools we built for ourselves because the existing options were slow, ad-supported, or both. The same rules still apply to everything we ship.

Free by default

Every app ships free, forever. Commercial licensing exists for teams that need support or white-label terms — it never gates the core product.

Source available

Code lives on GitHub under an open license. Read it, fork it, or send a pull request — nothing here is a black box.

Built to last

Small, native-first apps that start fast and don't bloat over time — not another wrapper around a web view.

No dark patterns

No forced accounts, no ad SDKs, no nagging to upgrade. If a feature needs your data, we ask first and explain why.
