About Umbriel
Technology should leave you more capable.
Umbriel is an independent technology studio focused on useful software, automation and self-hosted systems.
Our approach
Clarity over theatre.
Umbriel began as a collection of practical projects: documenting IT environments, automating repetitive work, running services independently and helping ideas cross the gap into working software.
The common thread is ownership. People should understand the systems they rely on, retain access to their data and be able to maintain what they build.
Understandable
Documentation and clear decisions belong inside the product.
Ownable
Data, code and systems should not become leverage against their users.
Honest
Development status, limitations and support boundaries should be visible.
