Why we are
building Spaceduck

On a mission to building an ecosystem of tools that empowers anyone to explore complex topics, capture and connect ideas, gain insights, and create amazing things.

Why we're building Spaceduck

The human mind is amazing.

Everyone has their own unique way of using it to organise thoughts and develop ideas.

When you research things, you start collecting snippets of all sorts of things, and you think about them in different ways.

It could be a news article, a photo, a video, a sketch, or some random other thing you came across that feels just right for whatever you're working on.

The problem is, how do you pull it all together, add more to it, and make sense of it all in a streamlined way?

What if there was a workspace that was your own bespoke space? A space that thinks the way you think and makes perfect sense to you.

We created Spaceduck to be just that, and it's revolutionising how people collect, comprehend, create, and collaborate on anything.

Think of it as your own intelligent research assistant that understands what you need to get done and gets you to base level fast.

Forget about old-school folder structures and endless rounds of searching to find what you need.

Say hello to intelligent search that pulls up exactly what's in your head.

When you need that perfect reference image, extra bit of information, or whatever else, our magical tools are ready to make it happen, all in one beautifully crafted workspace.

Behind Spaceduck lies some very complicated tech, but it's all designed to make life uncomplicated.

And when you start using Spaceduck for the first time, amazing things start happening.

Everything becomes fluid, streamlined, and more satisfying.

Your projects come alive and a smile appears on your face.

That smile grows larger as you power through your workday.

And that's what it's all about.

We're here to get you moving on whatever matters to you.

We're here to help you in a way that's human.

We're here to revolutionise the way you work, so you can get on with making incredible things happen.

Simply put, we're building the world's best "Thinking and Research Tool".

Story behind the name and the company

"Spaceduck" stands for "Space" and "a duck". This loosely translates to a duck in space. Now, that's not a very catchy brand name, is it? It wasn't intended to be; we simply could not get a trademark for our original name, "Polaris" (North Star), and our original original name, "DoubleSteady," was so stupid that nobody could take it seriously, except for Daniel, one of the Co-Founders who came up with that stupid name in the first place. I digress. But hey, "Spaceduck" is also stupid, so stupid in fact that you will not cannot forget it.

We aim to make products that we want to use, and hopefully, other like-minded people like you would also like to use them. At the core of what we do is a deep love of product design, followed by our core values, experiences, and opinions that we have gained through our years of experience. In every decision we make, we follow our own tastes and preferences. We build products that we would gladly pay to use. As a matter of fact, we do; we pay for our products, even though the money comes back to the company and then gets paid to us and our staff as salary, and piece of sh*t Stripe takes their fees, but we still pay for it.

Our target audience is creatives and visual people; we don't do market analysis for guidance. We just make products the way we believe they should be, technically and aesthetically, hoping our vision resonates with a small group of aficionados.

Peace out,
Ari (the other (cooler) Co-Founder)
