Tlahtolli
Cross-platform creative writing editor. Inspired by Scrivener, built with an open source philosophy. For writers who want a serious tool without paying licenses.
Software with roots
Calmécac is an independent software label. We build what we need — and publish it freely because that's how it should be.
Who are we?
Calmécac was born from a simple frustration: the tools we needed didn't exist, were too expensive, or came with compromises we weren't willing to accept. So we built them. And because we believe software should be free, we publish it so anyone can use it, modify it, and improve it.
Everything we build is public, auditable, and free. No paid licenses, no vendor lock-in. The code is yours to read, modify, and distribute.
We don't build tools just for the sake of it. Every project solves a real problem we have ourselves — if we wouldn't use it, we don't build it.
Names in Nahuatl, a philosophy of permanence. We build to last, not for this week sprint. The software we create is meant to stand the test of time.
