Software pruned
to perfection.
How I build
A simple philosophy behind every PruneX product, including the ones I built because I needed them myself.
First principles
I break every problem down to its fundamentals and rebuild from there. No copied patterns, no assumptions carried over.
Obsessive craft
Every detail matters. I sweat the small things until a product feels effortless, the kind of tool I'd actually want on my own machine.
Pruned to the essentials
I cut everything that doesn't earn its place. Lean, focused software that does one thing extremely well.
Right tool for the job
Native apps, browser extensions or a cloud backend on Firebase. I reach for whatever actually fits the problem, not whatever is trendy.

Niklas Pferscher
Software developer and founder of PruneX e.U., based in Austria. Whether I'm coding or just tinkering with a new idea, building things has always been my passion.
I believe technology should solve problems at their root, not just patch the surface. Inspired by first-principles thinking, I break complex challenges down to their fundamentals and build clean, efficient solutions from scratch. The result: software that actually fits, runs well and stays maintainable.
"Modern problems require modern solutions."
Why PruneX?
One developer, full ownership
Every PruneX product is designed, built and maintained by one person. No outsourcing, no committees, no compromise.
Pricing that gives back
I won't charge you €9 a month for what's really a few cents of API calls. Where things are overpriced, I'd rather hand the margin back to you than lock it behind a subscription.
Privacy you can trust
No tracking, no data harvesting, no accounts you don't need. Privacy is the default, not an afterthought.
Built to last
I use these tools every day, so they keep getting better, with real updates, not just version numbers.
