About us - We build tools we actually use.

We don’t believe in bloated platforms or one-size-fits-all software. We believe in focused, thoughtful tools that work better together - and stay out of your way.

We’re a small team of builders, consultants, and creatives - running businesses, working with clients, tracking hours, sending invoices, managing projects and documenting messy processes. Every tool we ship comes from that real, lived experience.

If that sounds like your vibe, welcome. We’re building Looped for people like us - and people like you.

Our culture - We’re small by design - and we like it that way.

At Looped, we care about craft, clarity, and building things that last. We’re not chasing hypergrowth or embellished product roadmaps. We’d rather ship something useful, well-considered, and genuinely loved by a small group of people than scale something half-baked to the masses.

  • Thinking in systems. We see patterns, feedback loops, and bottlenecks - then we build tools to make them better.
  • Defaulting to simple. Not dumbed down - just clear. Every screen, every feature, every setting earns its place.
  • Using what we build. Every Looped app lives in our own workflow. If it’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough to ship.
