BRNSFT started in 2020 because we kept running into the same problem in our own work: modern software optimizes for tasks, not for context. You get task managers, window managers, calendars, notification systems — and none of them know what you're actually working on in the way a human collaborator would.

We wanted to build the missing layer. That work turned into Ikuna, a macOS app that treats context as a first-class thing — apps, browser tabs, window layout, focus settings, all bundled into named contexts you can swap between in under three seconds. Ikuna is our flagship product and where most of our engineering effort goes.

Alongside Ikuna, we run BRNSFT Capital, our consulting arm, which helps European companies structure and execute AI-adjacent R&D funding, primarily through Business Finland, and provides fractional AI-operator work for founders who want to build AI into their product without hiring a full internal team.

The two sides of the studio feed each other: the applied AI work informs how we build Ikuna, and the discipline of shipping a real product to real users grounds our consulting practice in what actually ships versus what doesn't.
