Patina is building
spontaneous

software

Personal computing has given us access to incredible technology: we can connect with our friends instantly, take amazing photos, and navigate to anywhere in the world. But today, the software we depend on is pre-built for the "average user," leaving little room for individual preferences.

Want a new feature? Wait for an update. Want an old feature back? Tough luck, it didn't increase engagement. Maybe you have some great ideas — like a simpler messaging app for your grandma, permanently disabling auto-flash on your camera, or a map that can compare multiple routes. Unless you're a developer with a lot of patience, the power to reshape software is out of your hands. But what if you could transform your apps the moment you need them to change?

Our lives are spontaneous, and our software should be too. We're entering an era of post-personal computing where the boundary between "user" and "developer" is vanishing. Soon, you'll be both. But to truly erase this divide, we can’t expect you to stare at a blank canvas and make everything from scratch. Instead, Patina is building everyday tools designed to be quickly customized and shared, blurring the line that has long separated consuming and creating.

The technology we want tomorrow is here today, it’s just waiting to be shaped.
