What Nimbune Core is, and why we built it

Every software project lives in many places at once. The code sits in a repository, decisions in a chat, priorities in someone’s head, versions in a configuration file, the numbers in three different dashboards. And today more and more of the work happens in sessions with an AI assistant that, once closed, leave no trace. The result is familiar to anyone who builds software: you open a project after a week and can’t remember where you were, or why a choice was made.

Nimbune Core was born from this problem. It’s the first product under the Nimbune name, and the first company to use it is Nimbune itself, every day.

One place for every project. Core is a Mac app that gathers what you need to move a project forward. Every morning the Today screen shows at most three priorities, each with its reason, source and date. Below them, the next step of every project and what changed since your last visit.

Decisions that don’t get lost. Every decision records the choice, the reason, the options ruled out and who decided. A decision is never rewritten: when things change, a new one supersedes it, and the history stays readable.

A memory that checks itself. What the assistants learn while working goes into memory. A fact check flags what memory and documents say but the project’s files contradict, so old information doesn’t turn into a mistake.

The stack under control. Core reads technologies and versions from the project’s files and checks every day for new versions and known vulnerabilities. One click turns an update into a task.

Numbers from connected services. Search Console, AdMob and Play Console, read-only, with the date each number refers to.

AI sessions on record. Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop connect to Core: every session ends up in the right project, with what was done, the decisions and the next step.

On your computer. Data lives on your Mac, in an encrypted database, and Core works offline too. Passwords and keys stay in the system keychain, never in the database. If you want, Core locks with Touch ID.

Core isn’t for sale yet. Before selling it we want to use it ourselves for longer and have it tried by independent developers and small software companies, the people we designed it for. When it’s ready, we’ll say so here.

There’s a reason we started with Core. A company that wants to build many products well first needs a way not to lose what it learns along the way. Core is that way, and every other Nimbune product is built on top of it.
