Small software · catalogued on the riverbank
Field notes from a studio on the Hamme.
One studio, a small collection of honest products. Each keeps its own name and its own habits — all carry the same mark: von Hamme.
Seven specimens,
one hand.

plate — reax chatReax Chat
say it with reactionsA visual messenger made of GIFs, memes, stickers and clips — conversations without walls of text.
One brand, kept quiet.
Every product keeps its name.
Nothing here gets renamed to “Hamme X”. ReviewHeron, Hausbiber, Still OK and SoloWork stand on their own — each with its own character and its own page.
“von Hamme”, where it counts.
The same line ties everything together — in the app-store listing, in the imprint and in the footer. If you know one Hamme app, you know what to expect from the next.
Every critter lives where it belongs.
The heron watches over the dev tools, the beaver builds at Hausbiber — the safety apps stay deliberately animal-free. Serious tasks deserve a quiet presence.
The Hamme is a river — which is why busy riverbank creatures live in the dev tools. The heron goes first; every future tool brings its own animal to the bank.
One person,
one riverbank.
From the field diary
Hamme is the bank everything is built on — a roof that carries its products without painting over them.
Behind it is one person: Nicolas Autzen. The plan is simple — build small, useful things, give each one a real, speakable name, and stretch the studio between them as a quiet thread of trust.
Every new product joins the collection the same way: a speaking name, its own page under hamme.software/apps and “von Hamme” in the imprint. No more rules needed.
