Independent software from Fort Collins

Software you can understand, control, and trust.

Three focused apps built around real questions: what exact trades put my portfolio back on target and does the model support the plan, am I improving as a trader, and did that private information truly leave the PDF?

How the products are built

Different jobs. The same standard of clarity.

01

The data model is stated, not implied

Each product explains what stays on your device, what can use a network, and what a connected service may receive. The current products keep their databases or documents local.

02

The product does the explaining

Calculations, limits, verification results, and failure states are visible. You should not have to take a percentage, a risk score, or a redaction result on faith.

03

Ownership is stated plainly

RangefinderInvest and CrucibleTrade use one-time licenses that verify offline; installed versions keep working and their data stays in local files. Excise PDF is one Universal Purchase through Apple, with documents processed on-device.

The company

Built for real use first.

Kalman Software LLC is an independent software company in Fort Collins, Colorado. RangefinderInvest and CrucibleTrade began as tools the founder built for his own investing and trading. Excise PDF began with a need to redact a PDF without an Acrobat subscription.
