Independent software studio

Software for developers,
and for what comes next.

Bluethenics builds developer tools and applied-AI software that hand people back the part the industry usually keeps — the revenue, the model, or the network.

What we build

Three products, one idea: give people the part of the system that is normally withheld — the revenue a platform keeps, the model it picks for you, or the room it decides who gets into.

ADCode

Available now

A free code editor that pays you to use it.

A complete IDE — Monaco editing, real terminals, git with blame and history, workspace search, plain-English compiler errors, a preview server and live collaboration. Four AI providers run on your own API key. It is funded by advertisers instead of a subscription, and it credits you half of what the advertiser paid on an append-only ledger you can audit. No trial, no paid tier, no seat count.

  • Windows, macOS, Linux — one-line install, updates itself
  • 50% of ad revenue credited to the developer who saw the ad
  • 45 generic tags for targeting — your source never leaves the machine

Jace

Early access

A personal AI assistant that runs on your own computer.

Most AI can only talk. Jace gives the brains — your LLM — the muscles to act: it opens apps, manages files, runs commands, browses the web and automates the work you repeat. Talk to it or type. Conversations are stored locally, in a folder you choose.

  • Local-first — nothing is forced into the cloud
  • Any LLM — Gemini by default, or swap in GPT or Claude
  • Custom agents — build your own, or start from a template

Venet

Early access

A network where founders find the people a startup needs.

Make connections, secure funding, invest in other startups, find a co-founder, publish your product and grow. Membership is deliberately curated rather than open — the value of a founder network is entirely in who is not in it.

  • Curated membership — quality over headcount
  • Funding and co-founders — the two hardest searches, in one place
  • Product launches — publish to an audience that builds

About the studio

Bluethenics is an independent software studio. It is small, self-funded, and builds desktop and web software for people who would rather own the important part of a tool than rent it.

The three products look unrelated and are not. A code editor that pays the developer instead of charging them, an AI assistant that runs on your hardware with the model you chose, and a founder network that is curated rather than sold by the seat are the same decision applied three times: the person using the software should keep the part of it that has value.

We write about how these are built in the Bluethenics Journal, and we answer email at [email protected].
