Leave people more capable.
A good tool puts something within reach: an idea given shape, a difficult task made possible, a few people finding their way together. We think that is a worthwhile use of technology.
Vesperion Gate · Ontario, Canada
There is still so much worth making.
A good tool can change the shape of a day. It can give an idea somewhere to begin, bring people into the same work, and leave a little more room for living. That is the kind of software we want to spend our years making.
We are a small Canadian software company, and the makers of Thicket.
Our name
A light to find your bearings by.
Vesperion draws its light from the evening star. In that half-light, the familiar world begins to look different, and a point on the horizon gives you something to steer by.
A gate begins with the thought that there could be a way through. Someone imagines a passage, then does the work of making it. We named the company for that possibility, and for the light that helps you find it.
What we believe
A few things we intend to keep believing.
Attention belongs to the person giving it.
There is a life on the other side of the screen. We want to help people finish what they came to do, close the lid, and be there for it. Their time is theirs.
Making something means caring for it.
When people make a place for your work in their lives, they are placing trust in you. We want to be here years from now, still answering for the things we make and still finding ways to make them better.
Stay curious enough to begin again.
There will always be something beyond what we know how to make today. We want to keep room for the strange question, the unfamiliar path, the idea that takes a while to find its form.
What we make
A place for good work to grow.
Thicket is project management software that keeps to-dos, messages, and files in one place for your team and clients.
We use it to run Vesperion Gate. Our own working days help us see what needs care, what gets in the way, and what could be a little easier. It is where these beliefs become everyday decisions.
We also make and care for LensCherry, our AI photography product. Thicket is where most of our work is growing today.
The years ahead
We hope to be at this for a long time.
There is a particular satisfaction in returning to something you care about, day after day, and making it a little better. That is the company we want to build. A body of work we can stand behind, and the curiosity to see where it leads.
