About

A tiny studio that believes software can be soft.

MODVC is a small team making web apps that feel like physical objects: handcrafted, quiet, and useful. We build tools that run without venture capital, growth hacks, or tracking.

Who we are

We are a small team of indie developers building web tools. We do not have venture capital funding, we do not track your data, and we do not use dark patterns. We build tools we want to use ourselves, then share them with everyone.

Our projects include ModVoice, Panel, Convert, and Doodle Type. We open source our code wherever we can. For example, our entire payment system for ModVoice is public. Anyone can inspect it to see how we route transactions without taking platform cuts.

How ModVoice works

ModVoice is our serverless voice chat platform. It uses WebRTC to route audio and video directly through a global network of Selective Forwarding Units, or SFUs. Unlike traditional voice servers that run constant server processes, our SFUs only spin up resource allocations when a user joins a channel. Voice packets are forwarded ephemerally and never stored on disk.

For private direct calls, ModVoice uses end-to-end encryption. The browser client generates cryptographic keys locally and exchanges them with the peer using DTLS-SRTP. The server only assists in establishing the initial connection, it has no ability to decrypt the voice or text data passing through.

We handle community monetization through Stripe Connect. When someone buys a digital product or premium access from your server, the payment is processed by Stripe and routed directly to your bank account. The system does not route payments through our own balance sheets, so we charge zero platform fees. File delivery is secured by Cloudflare R2, which generates short-lived, authenticated download links for verified buyers.

The flower

Our logo is a simple flower. It is in the public domain, so you can copy, alter, or use it in your own projects without asking us.

We chose a flower because we want our software to feel less like a loud machine and more like a quiet garden. The internet is already full of noise. We build tools that grow at their own pace, leaving people room to breathe.
