About Library Mode

More people than ever are building software without being programmers. They describe what they want to Claude Code, OpenCode, or another AI coding tool, and it writes the program. That's wonderful — right up until the moment something that worked yesterday doesn't work today, or a laptop dies, or a friend asks "can I have a copy?"

The tools professional developers use for those problems are powerful, but they were designed for teams of engineers and they speak a language of their own. Library Mode is the same safety net, rebuilt for one person working alone: every version of your project is kept, you can go back to any of them, and sharing is a link. Nothing to learn, nothing to configure, no words you have to look up.

What we believe

• Nothing you make should be lost. Once a version is saved it can't be rewritten or deleted by accident — not even by the tool that saved it.
• Plain language is a feature. If a screen needs a glossary, the screen is wrong.
• Your work is yours. Download everything as a zip any time; delete it and it's gone.
• Solo doesn't mean small. The people building alone with AI tools are building real things. They deserve real infrastructure.

Who's behind it

Library Mode is made by The Digital Ad Lab, a small independent company run by Ken Rona, who also publishes Refacto. It's built and run by a very small team and paid for by Plus subscriptions, not by advertising or by selling data.
