STUDIO MANIFESTO

The Anti-Wrapper Architecture

Most modern software applications are fragile frontends wrapping third-party cloud APIs. PotatoDog LLC designs software that computes locally on the user's hardware.

01 / On-Device First

Local Extraction & Inference

We compile native C++ runtimes (`llama.cpp`), use on-device OCR models, and run math engines on-device. Cloud calls are reserved strictly for high-value asynchronous sync.

02 / Zero-Leak Privacy

Hardware Isolation

We leverage Apple Secure Enclave and Android Keystore for cryptographic key signing. User data never passes through intermediary third-party analytics trackers.

03 / High Net Margin

Sustainable Economics

By shifting computation from recurring serverless cloud compute to client silicon, our products sustain 80% to 95%+ net profit margins without ongoing server egress drain.

CRAFT & USER EXPERIENCE

Bespoke Visual Design Systems

Every application is developed within a dedicated visual design language tailored to user psychology and target display environments.
