Charmbracelet, Inc.

Founded in 2019 and based in New York, US, Charmbracelet, Inc. develops an SSH-backed identity system that manages online documents and end-to-end encryption of digital contents. The company was founded by CEO Toby Padilla, a former engineer at Apple, Last. fm, and TweetDeck alongside Christian Rocha, formerly head of voice at Snap-acquisition Zenly.

In April 2021, the company received its first seed funding from a group of investors that includes Tokyo Black, Fuel Capital, Cavalry Ventures, and Betaworks Ventures. The company's product includes systems that manage online documents and end-to-end encryption of digital contents. It develops Glow, an open-source terminal-based markdown reader that allows online developers to view different documentations directly on the command line and build an encrypted library. The company also offers Charm, a secure shell (SSH) key system that creates an invisible account system for documents providing secured access for any software built with charm accounts.

It also has Charm Cloud, an online service that offers tools and storage for identity, authentication, data, and encryption. The company also develops flagship products such as Lip Gloss, a tool used for terminal styling; Bubble Tea, a Go framework used in building terminal user interfaces; . /charm, a tool used in managing Charm account, link, and revoke SSH Keys; Bubbles, a text input, viewport, spinners, and pagination tools; Glamour, a stylesheet-powered Markdown rendering engine; and Termenv, a tool used in styling options, background-color detection, and cursor movement. The company's revenue is generated by offering and selling its online systems to developers, companies, and individual users in the areas of New York & New Orleans in the US and Augsburg, Germany.

The company plans to launch an open-source self-hosted version of Charm Cloud that will be free for non-commercial use.
