About Misquoted Tech

Glitch is our mascot, like most parrots (and humans) he sometimes misquotes what he hears.

Our Mission

We build software that’s useful, a little playful, and never too serious. We believe technology should be helpful without being humorless—and that getting things done shouldn’t feel like a chore. Our apps aim to make everyday life a bit easier and a lot more enjoyable. If we wanted to build serious enterprise tools, we’d go work at a serious enterprise.

Our Values

Usefulness First

We build tools that actually help. If it doesn’t solve a real problem, it’s not worth building—no matter how clever it looks.

Play Matters

Delight isn’t a luxury. We believe a touch of humor, charm, or surprise can turn a small utility into a favorite app.

No Buzzwords, No Bloat

We skip the jargon, skip the feature creep, and focus on simple, effective experiences. “Synergy” not included.

Respect the User

Your time, your data, your attention—we treat them all with care. Our default is opt-in, not opt-out.

Iterate with Curiosity

We launch small, learn fast, and keep improving. Sometimes we’ll get weird. That’s okay.

What’s in a Name?

We didn’t set out to name a company. We were just playing around—tossing initials from our little family into a word finder, like alphabet soup in a digital bowl. Misquoted popped out, and it stuck. It felt right. A little offbeat. A little playful. Like something almost serious… but not quite. Just like us. So Misquoted Tech was born—built on a jumble of letters, a love of fun, and the idea that it’s okay to get things a little bit wrong, as long as you’re enjoying the ride.

Our Founder

Our founder, a middle-aged white dude with short brown hair, wearing a blue dress shirt and gray coat.

Misquoted Tech was founded by a self-taught engineer who started out wrangling Objective-C back when OS X still had a big cat mascot. Before writing code, he wired up aircraft for the Air Force, lit stages for theatre, and kept people safe as an EMT. These days, he builds playful tools and useful software from Raleigh, NC—usually with at least two other projects (and two amazing kids) in tow. Whether it’s code, yarn, metal, or paint, he’s always making something. Because for him, the joy is in the building—and if it makes someone smile too, even better.
