We build careful tools for people who keep things — collectors, players, and anyone whose collection outgrew the spreadsheet they were tracking it with.
One vision, start to finish.
Every One4Three product is designed and directed by one person — what it should be, how it should behave, what ships and what gets cut. There is no committee, and no roadmap negotiated between departments. One person decides, and one person is accountable for whether it is any good.
A film credits many hands and a single director. Software is no different. The work is engineered deliberately, to one standard, by someone who has to use it every day.
A collection manager for Magic: The Gathering. Scan cards in seconds, and always know exactly where every one of them physically lives — which deck, which binder, which box on which shelf. Built for collectors whose collections got away from them.
pharos.cards →Pharos is the studio's first release, and it sets the bar for everything after it: tools precise enough to trust with a real collection, and pleasant enough to open on a weeknight. Further titles will follow when they meet that standard, and not before.
One4Three Studios is an independent software company based in Bremerton, Washington. Its first product was five years in thought before it was eight months in build — a scanner that took months to get right, then the long work of designing everything downstream of it, from the moment a card enters your collection to the moment it hits the table in a deck.
Small is the point. It means nothing ships that one person would not stake their name on.
Software that respects the work you have already done. A collection represents years of attention, money, and memory — the tools around it should treat that seriously, keep an honest record, and never lose your place.
We would rather build one thing that genuinely holds up than several that nearly do. Nothing here is shipped to fill a release calendar.
