PRODUCT MANIFEST

Four products.
One owner.

We call it keepware: software built for long-term operation rather than a planned exit. Every product was built in-house, runs on shared infrastructure, and is owned and operated by Ostrel Software. Each one is built around the same idea: what you make with it stays yours.

HOW WE OPERATE

Build well, then keep it.

01
Own the timetable
No fund clock, no outside investors, no one else’s deadline. We make decisions on the timescale each product deserves, and we can wait when waiting is the right call.
02
Ship like it is 2026
A small team using AI-assisted development now does work that once took a department. We put that leverage into shipping. Four products are in production, and every new one starts on infrastructure the last one built.
03
Fund it from revenue
Each product pays for its own operation. We grow from revenue and invest at the pace the business can sustain, so nothing has to be sold to keep the lights on.
04
Earn each product’s place
Every product must support its own operation and earn our continued attention. We add a product only when we can run it well.
ABOUT OSTREL

Built to compound.

Ostrel Software LLC is a privately held software company based in Seattle, Washington. It is wholly owned by its founder, has zero outside investors, and answers to its customers. ShotBreak, SagaSeal, STELQ, and Lynqly are products of Ostrel Software LLC.
The four products share one infrastructure and one owner, so each new product starts further along than the last. Ostrel was founded in 2026 to hold and operate that portfolio and to keep building on it. STELQ publishes a benchmark anyone can run against its live API. Lynqly hands customers the source code of what they build. That is what keepware means in practice: software you can inspect, keep, and take with you.
