Play your Imagination.™
Way of the Pigeon is creating the “next-awesome” in games, apps and interactive experiences — and bringing ownership and options back to the people who use them.
- Free where possible
- Pay per version
- Offline-first
- AI & cloud optional
The Way
Own it. Choose it. Keep it.
Owning things is starting to feel old-fashioned. We think it shouldn't be. So wherever we can, the things we make come with real choices — and nothing important locked behind a login.
Pay per version
Buy a version and it's yours. Upgrade when the next one is worth it to you.
Offline-first
Your stuff lives on your device and keeps working when the internet doesn't.
AI, subscriptions & cloud — optional
Extras you can switch on when they help, and leave off when they don't.
What we make
Games. Apps. Interactive experiences.
A small studio with a big sketchbook. Some projects are out in the open, more are still on the workbench — the newsletter hears about them first.
Games
Playful, replayable and made to be finished — with the kind of options players used to take for granted.
Apps
Desktop-first tools that respect your time, your data and your wallet — Collektory first, Feedback Pigeon on the web, and more in the lab.
Interactive experiences
Things that blur the line between watching and playing — on stream, on screen and in the room.
Flagship app Windows beta coming soon
Collektory: every game you own. One shelf.
One library for every game you own across 20+ stores and launchers — Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, Epic, GOG and more — together with your physical shelves, books, comics, apps and hardware. It lives on your PC, works offline and never needs an account — cloud sync between your devices is there if you want it.
- 20+ stores & launchers imported, the same game from three stores merged into one.
- Offline-first, no account needed. Your library is a file on your PC — take it with you as JSON or CSV. Sign in only if you want cloud sync.
- AI optional. Smart search and Pige, the resident pigeon, can run entirely on your PC.
- Real flair. 3D boxes, cover flow, a timeline and covers that fly into view.
- Built for creators. Now playing, counters, a content calendar, giveaway keys, Twitch panel pictures and OBS overlays.
- Free, with optional plans. The whole app is free. Two optional plans, Boxed (cloud sync) and Mint (sync plus cloud AI), monthly or yearly, are coming soon.

Meet Pige Pop.
Collektory's pigeon has a fresh, friendlier look, and now he moves. He waves hello, thinks while the AI works, cheers your imports and picks, looks surprised when nothing matches and naps late at night. If you've turned animations down, he holds still.
Also from the studio Opening soon
Feedback Pigeon: hear your users. Show them what's next.
Feedback boards, voting, a public roadmap and What's new release notes, plus a widget that sits inside your app. We built it for our own apps (it's where Collektory's bug reports, ideas and release notes live), and now anyone can use it.
Everything between "I wish…" and "It's here!"
Bug reports arrive with the app version and device details already attached. A duplicate finder suggests similar posts while people type, and votes say how much it matters. When something ships, the release notes mark it done and everyone following it hears.
Opening soon: free for one product, with unlimited boards, team seats and voters, and paid plans with your own domain and branding. See it working on Collektory's board in the meantime.

Cashflow Pigeon: see what happens before it happens.
What we've been building behind the scenes. Cashflow Pigeon is a desktop cashflow planner: a 12-month, day-by-day forecast of every account, so you can spot the tight week before you're in it. Your money stays in one file on your own PC — nothing is stored online.
- The forecastEvery account, day by day for a year — bills, debts, savings pots, goals, side income and what you sell, with the lowest point flagged before it arrives.
- What if… & Where will I be on…Try an essentials-only month or cancelling a subscription; pick any date to see every balance and what's safe to spend until then.
- Calendar & UpcomingEvery payment on the day it lands. Tick them off as paid and see paid against planned.
- Statements & BooksImport bank statements (CSV, OFX, QIF or PDF), match them to the plan and keep the books for personal, sole-trader and limited-company money — through to year-end figures and Corporation Tax workings.
- PigeAsk "can I afford…?" and get an answer from your own numbers. Optional AI runs on your PC.
A planning tool, not financial advice. Want to hear when it's ready? The newsletter hears first.

Creator Pigeon: package ideas into clicks — on every platform.

Nest Stream Tools: a control room for live shows.
More from behind the scenes. Nest is a suite of stream tools that run on your own PC and speak to OBS, Streamer.bot and every chat at once — so one person can run a show that feels like it has a whole crew.
- DirectorThe show's control room — segment timer, game switching, wheel or audience-vote picks, progress tracking and a big PANIC button.
- StageAn overlay builder with live text and art, animated entrances and Sketch — draw over the game, live, or go full screen with just the drawing. The editor and Sketch show a smooth, live picture from OBS.
- GreenroomPre-show checklists, on-air reminders and a wall of your live streams on every platform.
- GalleryOne vote across Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and Kick chats, counted together. Viewers vote with !1 or !A, picked up through Social Stream Ninja.
- Rando & Counter PigeonPrize wheels, physics 3D dice and marble races, with overlays that mirror the real wheel and leave with the exit animation you pick; death counters, timers and records.
Collektory × Nest: Now playing, live.
Link Collektory and the Nest knows what you're playing and on what — then Stage puts the cover, the real 3D box, the device and your achievements on stream, and Rando can spin a wheel straight from your collection. Everything stays on your PC, behind your own access key.

Don't Forget The…
Shopping, tasks and events in one friendly list app. Type like you'd text a friend — "2 milk £1.20" or "call mum tomorrow 5pm" — and it works out the quantity, price and date. Repeats, reminders, a Today view and ready-made lists, with everything stored on your device. It runs on the desktop and as a web app you can install on your phone.
Now on version 1.3: pictures on things, emoji as you type, smart search, add from a photo (read on your device), group by aisle, a trash for anything you delete and an icons-only side bar, with clearer colours in every theme.
Screenshot: the real desktop app on a fresh test profile with its starter Groceries list.
