DokuAI
Turn site photos into a structured, time-stamped PDF report — snap a photo, describe what you see, and the app writes the documentation.
Built anywhere, for everywhere.
DigitalFreedom is the name of the company and the goal we are working toward. Marcel and Jasmin are building a life beyond the conventional employment contract — independent, deliberate, and on our own terms. This is the platform that holds the work.
We build independent apps for iPhone, Android and Mac — DokuAI, Sommelio, SnapShots and CivoCloudManager — and publish content on YouTube.
The apps we ship
Four independent apps, published by DigitalFreedom Global LLC. Each one is built, maintained, and supported in-house.
Sommelio
Point your camera at a wine bottle, a restaurant list or a whole shelf and get a match to your taste, with a plain-language verdict.
SnapShots
A picture-clue word puzzle: three AI-generated images hint at one word, on a sixty-second timer. Solve, streak, climb the leaderboard.
CivoCloudManager
A native macOS menu-bar app for Civo Cloud — one-click firewall for your IP, a live Kubernetes dashboard with pod logs, and an S3 file browser.
Four freedoms we design around
These are not slogans. They are the constraints every decision is measured against — which projects we take on, which we politely decline, how we structure our days, and what we choose to ship.
Time freedom
Working when we are most effective, taking breaks when our bodies and minds need them, and being present for the parts of life that matter.
Location freedom
The work happens wherever a laptop and a stable internet connection can travel. The whole stack is portable by design.
Creative freedom
The right to choose the projects, the technology, the audience, and the standards we hold ourselves to — without compromise filtered through someone else's quarterly objectives.
Financial freedom
Multiple independent income streams, owned outright, that compound over time rather than depend on a single employer.
The motto applies to us, too
Built anywhere, for everywhere. For everywhere: our apps are available in 175 countries, our videos reach whoever presses play, and our clients are wherever the work is. Built anywhere: the company sits in Wyoming, so that we stay one contracting party, whichever country we are working from.
The domain points to South Africa because that is where we most like to be. Nothing we build stops at a border — so neither does the way we are built.
Two halves. One brand.
Marcel Berger
Indie app developer, software architect, and author. 20+ years of enterprise engineering, now applied end-to-end to a small portfolio of independent products.
Jasmin Rosenstock
Beauty content on YouTube with a focus on hair styling — tools, techniques, and the real-world routines that turn out usable hair on a normal morning.
Follow along
If the idea of building an independent working life resonates, the most useful thing you can do is share what we make with the next person who would benefit from it.
