About

Niche apps for freelancers, mainly in creative fields.

Our philosophy

Your data belongs to you

We believe in the lost art of software you actually own — tools that run on your hardware, store data where you decide, and never hold your work hostage behind a login wall. Every Studio Sage product is built to work locally first: HiredOut keeps everything in your WordPress database, Freelance-Finance saves on your Mac, and nothing phones home beyond a quick license check. There are no recurring subscriptions, no forced cloud sync, no surprise price hikes — you purchase a license and use the software for as long as you want. We think creative professionals deserve sovereignty over their data and their tools, and we build accordingly.

Jens Sage
I've been building web things since 2005 — started as a teenager in front of a screen, ended up directing films and commercials for fashion, lifestyle, and documentary.

Studio Sage is a side project born from real frustrations. Tools I built for myself, now shared with other creative professionals who need things that just work.
