A software company in Barcelona, publishing its own accounts

The company

Two people, no investors, and a business model short enough to print in full.

We sell software and that is the entire model. No advertising, no data resale, nobody upstream who can make us change our minds.

Barcelona — by the founders

Dooplin Apps S.L. is a for-profit software company, and says so plainly because the alternative — a company that describes itself in adjectives — is how you end up unable to check anything. What can be checked is printed on this site: what each product does with your data, where every euro comes from, what we have promised never to do, and a dated log of the times we changed something or got it wrong.

None of that is unusual for a newspaper, which is why the site is set as one. A paper prints its masthead, its corrections, and its ownership. A software company usually prints a mission statement. We would rather be held to the first kind of document.

Profitability is what protects the constraints, not a threat to them. No ad revenue means no reason to watch anybody. No investors means nobody can require us to start.

The Morgue

Archiving, run for you

Every newsroom kept a morgue. Most organisations with a record worth keeping have nothing.

A morgue was the room where a paper filed its clippings so a story could be checked years later. Archivist is that room, run as a service: pages captured the way national libraries capture them, reviewed by a person before anything is published, searchable across languages, and citable with identifiers that keep resolving.

We did not set out to sell this. We built it to save the record of Bangladesh's July 2024 revolution, and then found that every memory project, documentation group, and special collection needs the same machinery and cannot possibly build it.

Standing Notice

Where the money never comes from

  • No advertising, in any product, ever.
  • No selling or renting user data.
  • No data brokerage, including “anonymized” or aggregate behaviour.
  • No outside capital. Bootstrapped, so no investor can push us to monetize users or force an exit.

Printed here because a promise that is easy to find is easy to hold you to. Each one is dated in Standards & Practices, and anything we change appears in Corrections.
