Ownership is the feature
If you can't take it with you, you don't own it. Paperweight runs entirely on your own hardware; anything we host for you, you can export in full, any time.

We build softwarethat actually helps.
Small team. Real software.
Paperweight Systems is a small, independent software company. We build real products, each one honest about what it does and what it costs. Paperweight, our first product, runs entirely on hardware you control.
01 / Paperweight Systems
We build software that puts control back in your hands.
The company
Software got crowded with middlemen: platforms that take a cut of your work, set the rules, and can vanish overnight. We build the opposite: real products with honest pricing and no dark patterns. Paperweight runs entirely on hardware you control. What comes next might live in the cloud, but you'll always know exactly what you're paying for and why.

Real software. Real pricing.

What we build by.
02
No lock-in
We don't sit between you and what's yours: your data, your work, your ability to walk away. No surprise price hikes, no punishing you for canceling, no fine print doing the heavy lifting.
03
Software that stays up
The software you depend on shouldn't go down when you need it most. Whether it runs on your own hardware or ours, we build for reliability, not neglect.
04
Honest by default
No dark patterns, no invented numbers, no fine print doing the heavy lifting.
