Software that asks less of your attention.

Partido Studio is a small software company in the United Kingdom. We ship three products. Each of them exists to take something off your desk rather than to put something new on it, and we run all of them ourselves, every day.

Work

Turn Off AI

A quiet space to write authentic thoughts.

A writing room that nothing can get into except you. No autocomplete, no suggestions, no chat box, no pasted text. Name the thought you want to work out and how long you want to stay with it, then write. Your words leave with you: copy them, download them, or keep them in a library only you can read.

Overnight

Someone watched your site last night.

Nightly regression testing, sold as a flat monthly subscription. We replay your critical user flows against your site every night and email you what broke. There is no dashboard to watch and no test suite to maintain. If nothing broke, the email says so and you get on with your day.

Small Tools Work!

One small job, done in your browser.

A shelf of free utilities for freelancers, developers and small businesses: merge or split a PDF, resize an image, format JSON, work out a margin, a take-home salary or whether to rent or buy in the UK. Open the tool, do the job, close the tab. The files you work on stay on your own device.

Consulting

Advice, from people who have done it here.

Alongside the products, we now take on consulting in two areas. Both are for people finding their way in the United Kingdom, and both can be done in Chinese or in English.

UK study consulting

英國留學諮詢

For students, and their parents, planning to study in the UK. We help you choose courses and universities that fit, plan the application timeline, and work through the personal statement and supporting documents with you. We do not give immigration advice; for visa questions we will point you to a regulated adviser.

Marketing for Chinese businesses

華人店家的在地社群行銷

For Chinese-run shops and restaurants in the UK that want local customers to find them. We plan, shoot and post for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, look after your Google Maps listing and reviews, and arrange visits from local food bloggers. You see what went out and what it did, every month.

Studio

Three products, built the same way.

Small on purpose

Every product here was specified, built and shipped by the same hands. Nothing goes out that we would not run against our own work first.

No claims we cannot keep

We would rather say what a product does not do than imply something it cannot. Every product carries that in its own copy, in writing.

Client work, occasionally

We take on a small number of projects a year, usually where the brief is closer to product design than to staffing a backlog.

Contact

Tell us what is on your desk.

If you have something you would rather stop watching, or a product you want built properly rather than quickly, write to us. One person reads the inbox and replies.
