Our approach

What drives us.

For us, good software starts with a simple question: what makes everyday life better for our users? That question shapes our decisions, our features and our next idea.

User First

User satisfaction has been our measure since Browser1 launched. We listen to community feedback and use requests and problems as starting points for development. What matters is whether a change helps in everyday use.

Listen. Understand. Improve.

Quality

Quality shows in use: clear paths, suitable controls and a product you want to rely on. We work on the details that make a difference in daily browsing, on every screen.

The details shape the experience.

Innovation

Innovation means making things simpler and more useful. We try ideas, learn from how people use them and develop them further. New platforms invite us to rethink controls, with touch, a remote and soon on desktop.

New ideas with a clear purpose.

Passion

Our enthusiasm for apps goes back to 2014. A first guide grew into experience with phone, tablet and TV apps, and eventually Browser1. We build with conviction and curiosity about what comes next.

An idea grows a little more every day.
Made in Germany

In the heart of Europe

Our team works from Berlin, Cologne, Aachen and Bitburg. Different places, shared ideas and one product that connects us. We develop Browser1 in Germany for people across many screens.
