Signal Recorder

Deliberate, human software tools built to last.

Field Bureau + Werkstatt is an independent design and technology practice that builds thoughtful, human‑centered software tools. Their core offering is a markdown‑based suite of native macOS/iOS apps—Signal Recorder SR‑7 (voice recording with on‑device transcription to markdown), Task Register TR‑2 (a plain‑file task manager), and Markdown Library ML‑42 (browse and edit markdown across folders). They also create experimental ET series projects exploring mathematics, fiction, and visual art, plus small utilities like MIDI Volume Control, Menu Volume, and a Focus Timer. All products emphasize durability, simplicity, and real‑world use, blending analytical rigor with handcrafted design.
