About Acme

We build calm software for teams that ship

Acme started in a Lisbon flat in 2016 with one question: why does work software make people anxious? Ten years later, forty of us answer it every day.

What we value

Four promises we keep

  • Calm by default

    No red badges, no dark patterns - attention is our users' to give.

  • Private first

    Your data is yours. We never sell it and never train on it.

  • Kind and direct

    We say what we mean, and we mean well.

  • Built to last

    Profitable, independent and here for the next decade.

  1. Discover

    Two workshops to map goals, users and constraints.

  2. Design

    Prototypes tested with real customers every week.

  3. Build

    Small releases behind flags - nothing big-bang.

  4. Grow

    We measure, learn and hand over a team that can run it.

  1. A flat in Lisbon

    Alex and Sophie quit their jobs and build the first prototype on a kitchen table.

  2. The first thousand teams

    Word of mouth only - we still have no marketing budget.

  3. Acme 2.0 and offline sync

    A two-year rewrite ships: Acme works on a plane, in a tunnel, anywhere.

  4. Berlin and Montreal

    Two new offices, forty people, still profitable.

  5. Twelve thousand teams

    And the calmest release we have ever shipped.
