What we build

Three tools, three building sites.

01 · Sanskrit · ethical conduct

The six-times book that reminds you.

A Buddhist practice: six times a day you pause briefly and look honestly at what you have done, said and thought. Traditionally you keep a small book for it. Sila is that book, and it reminds you.

  • Up to six reminders a day, at your times
  • A check-in in under a minute: positive, negative, meditation
  • Works offline, your entries stay with you
For whom
People who practise with the ten virtues.
Status
Testing. iOS and Android.

Incoming call

Lodro picks up

Sample conversation

Hi, I need an appointment for the inspection.

Sure. Does Thursday at 9 work for you?

Yes, that works.

Noted. You will get a confirmation by text. Goodbye.

Appointment saved Call logged No callback needed

02 · Tibetan · intellect

Answers the phone when you cannot.

Lodro takes calls, talks, answers questions about the business, takes down callback requests and appointments, and writes up the call. When needed, it hands over to a person. Every business has its own number, its own knowledge, its own settings.

  • Take appointments and callback requests
  • Answer questions about the business from its own knowledge
  • Log the call, hand over to a person when needed
For whom
Trades, practices and small businesses where the phone rings while the work gets done.
Status
Internal testing.

03 · Tibetan · awareness

Notes, files, code. One place.

Rigba keeps the memory so your head stays free. It came about because we kept switching between an editor, a notes app and an automation tool ourselves. Usable with or without AI.

  • Every file type, not just notes
  • Write and run code, with AI at your side
  • Local or in the cloud, whichever fits
For whom
First for us, then for small businesses.
Status
In development.

Rigba

The names

Four words from Buddhism.

We did not invent our names, we borrowed them. Each stands for something we set out to do when we build.

vajra Sanskrit
The thunderbolt, the indestructible.
Sila Sanskrit
Ethical conduct, the practice in everyday life.
Lodro Tibetan
Intellect, good sense.
Rigba Tibetan
Awareness, clear knowing.

About us

Founded in the living room.

Behind vajra are Markus and Jamie Stein, father and son. Founded in Nümbrecht as a GbR, a German partnership. We do not split the work into roles: both of us build, both decide, both test. What we build, we use ourselves first.

Nümbrecht, Oberbergischer Kreis

  • MS Markus Stein Father · IT engineering
  • JS Jamie Stein Son · IT and process administration

Both build. Both decide. Both test.
