THE THINKING BEHIND BRAINWARE

Curiosity is
our driving force.

1996Where our story began.

We believe the best software makes complicated things feel simple.

Founded by Bryan Aamot in 1996, Brainware began with the Descent Mission Builder, helping players build their own worlds. That same spirit of exploration still guides our work.

Today, our independent studio in the SF Bay Area creates apps that put calculations to practical use—from understanding coastal tides to exploring the probabilities in a hand of cards.
