Origins

Canithesis Interactive was founded in Missouri, United States, as the commercial arm of two hobbyist software engineers.

Our goal is to create high-quality products made more for fun than for profit, away from the crunch-culture and greedy penny-pinching of the rest of the computer industry. We remain dedicated to our values against predatory monetization, forced DEI, and other forms of abuse typically found at the hands of accounting teams who do not understand our craft. We are artists, not just businessmen.

The Name

The word "Canithesis" is a portmanteau derived from the Latin word "Canidae", referring to wolves and similar animals. Wolves are some of nature's most intelligent yet most peaceful creatures. They are commited to family, without much knowledge of human sin, monarchy or superficial desires. "CANI" also happens to be an acronym meaning "Constant And Neverending Improvement", coined by American self-help coach Tony Robbins. If you ever find yourself asking "Cani do it?", the answer is we certainly can and we will!
