Crustware

Small, careful apps for people who would rather be outside. No ads, no accounts, and nothing watching you.

crust (n.) — 1. the hard outer layer of the earth; the part you climb. 2. what climbing puts on your hands, and years put on a climber. 3. one who has been at it long enough to know better, and goes anyway. 4. the best part of the bread of life.
-ware — things made to be used. Here, software, and as little of it as does the job.
