Products
AI-native tools built around a simple rule: your data stays where it belongs, and the automation earns its keep.
Privacy-conscious personal finance. Track accounts, budgets and net worth with real speed, while a local AI model categorises transactions and turns them into plain-language analysis — all running on your own machine. Your financial data is yours: never sold, never mined.
Quarterly reporting for real-estate syndication sponsors. Turn the numbers from your deal into clean, per-investor statements — capital accounts, preferred return and distributions — with AI handling the tedious prep and formatting. You keep control of the math; we produce the document.
About
Shiftlayers is an independent software studio building focused, privacy-respecting tools that are fast, trustworthy, and a pleasure to use.
We choose narrow problems and go deep: careful engineering, restrained interfaces, and AI applied where it genuinely removes work — categorising, summarising, explaining — with the person always in control. We're growing our catalogue deliberately, one product at a time, each held to the same standard.
