This repository contains key information about Superuser Labs, along with documents and other public resources.
Superuser Labs was originally the name for the group of people who were involved with the early development of ActivityWatch and Thankful around 2017-2019. As work on Thankful ceased and ActivityWatch became a community-led operation, most contributors moved on except brothers Erik and Johan Bjäreholt.
The company was formally founded in 2022 as a Swedish AB ("Aktiebolag"). Company formation happened in response to Erik getting ActivityWatch-related consulting offers, and there being a need to structure donations into an entity.
A foundation was considered since there is very little financial interest, but was postponed indefinitely due to the operational cost and overhead, as well as the one-way nature of such a decision and there likely being a need for a two-tier structure anyway.
Superuser Labs' mission is to research and develop open-source software that empowers people.
The company:
- Is registered in Sweden.
