About the studio
I started Drakemere at my own desk. Two Macs and a Windows laptop sat side by side, and three different tools still could not give me one cursor across all of them. So I wrote my own. That became UnivDesk, and it has run on that desk every day since September 2026.
Drakemere is still one person, and it still builds for its own desk first. Dumpster Raccoon comes from the same desk: a small pet that keeps you company while an AI coding session runs. Dumpling rings a bell when Claude Code or Codex finishes and raises a paw when it needs you, so you can play in the gaps and step back in on time.
Drakemere LLC is the company behind the studio.
