Independent software studio
Kerf is a studio, not a single product. A growing lineup across productivity, lifestyle, social, creative, entertainment, and more.
Work
Focused products across categories — a broad audience, not one scene. Each app does a clear job. The studio is the through-line.
Tools that stay tight and finish a job.
Everyday software with a clear purpose.
Apps for how people actually stay in touch.
Space to make — without extra chrome.
Play, watch, keep score — when that’s the job.
The lineup is not locked to a category.
About
Kerf is an independent software studio. We design and ship our own apps — each one focused on a clear job, across more than one category.
The name is a woodworking term: the width of a cut. We treat it as a working standard. Trim what the app does not need. Keep the interface only as large as the job.
Start with the job. Cut the rest before it ships.
Ship software we own — tight, maintainable, ready to grow.
Many apps, one studio. Game Pulse is first, not the limit.
Brand
Deep Canopy is the palette: forest, moss, and cream. The Kerf mark is the cream nucleus — a focused core, without moss paint-splash. Live Core, with the splash, is the Game Pulse app icon: that product’s mark, not the studio logo.

Apps
Game Pulse is the first Kerf app to talk about. More will land here as they are ready — across different jobs, not copies of this one.
Coming soon
Local multiplayer companion.
One app in the Kerf lineup: sessions, live standings, friends, and profiles for a night of play. Built for cards, consoles, and table games — not a single sport, and not the definition of Kerf.
On the way
Next products will not all be companions to a game. Expect a diverse lineup — different jobs, different categories — listed here when each one is ready to show.
