A local-first gradebook for teachers. It runs on your machine.

Fair Business & Community Technology
Technology, without the enterprise tax.
FBCT writes software for shops, teachers, and community groups. It stays on your machine when it can. It does not need an enterprise contract.
Mission
Good software should not be reserved for big companies.
FBCT exists because shops, classrooms, and volunteer groups are asked to buy software built for a different scale. We write focused tools. No bloated contract. No licensing maze. No extra infrastructure you do not need.

Software we are building
Why FBCT
Rules we will not trade away
- Fair pricing
- Pay for the software you use. Not for corporate overhead.
- Simple by design
- A tool should be understandable on the first afternoon.
- Privacy first
- Collect less. Keep records on the machine that made them, when that is practical.
- Built to last
- Affordable is not an excuse for poor engineering.
Who this is for
Tools for the groups enterprise software prices out
Small businesses
Get the capabilities a larger shop uses, without paying as if you were one.
Teachers
Tools that do the job without a subscription, ads, or a district login.
Community groups
Software for organizations where every dollar is spoken for.
Some tools should simply exist.
Not every useful program needs a subscription. FBCT also writes free tools for teachers and community groups when a small, honest program will do the job.
