Bealdor
Products, little tools and commissioned software, kept simple.
Values
Based on a desire for improvement for the users of the internet and computing in general, Bealdor aims to provide simple and effective solutions that enhance the user experience.
We believe in the principles of simplicity, user empowerment, privacy, and community focus. These values guide our development process and shape the products and services we offer.
Simple Software
Our goal is to keep our products simple. We believe that simplicity leads to better user experiences and more effective solutions.
Simple software is easier for us to maintain and run, and is easy for people to use.
Hands-on Approach
Our goods and services are aimed at giving power and choice back to users, without insulting their intelligence.
We want our users to feel in control of their digital experiences, and we strive to create products that meet their needs without being so impersonal.
Community Focus
We want our solutions to match with online users' wants and needs, not just the demands of corporations.
This means that our products and services may not be the most optimised for retention or maximising ad revenue, but they will be designed to be user-friendly, respect privacy, and promote a healthier online ecosystem.
How we use AI
We use AI tools as assistants, mainly for coding help and rapid prototyping.
They help a small studio like ours get more done. They don't replace the judgement of the person doing the work, and they don't change what we believe about privacy and respecting the people who use our software.
What that means in practice
- A person is responsible. We decide what gets built and what we deliver, and we check anything an AI tool helped produce. If it's wrong, that's on us.
- Personal data is handled under UK GDPR. AI tools are treated like any other supplier, with proper data processing terms, and only get what a task needs.
- No AI watching visitors. Our products don't use AI to profile people or make decisions about them.
