Ownership first
We want users to understand what they are buying and keep the right to use it without a mandatory monthly software subscription.
JOIN THE NEOWORKS MISSION
Help bring software
ownership back.
Volunteer contributors wanted.
NeoWorks is an independent Windows creative and productivity suite built around a simple belief: software should be something people can buy, keep and rely on — not something they are forced to rent forever.

This is a mission, not just another app.
NeoWorks already exists and is actively being developed. We are now looking for people who believe customers deserve a meaningful alternative to mandatory subscription software and want to help turn that idea into a polished, dependable product.
Honest development
Working features are shown as working. Planned features are shown as planned. If something slips, we explain why.
Built with users
Testing, bug reports, feature ideas and real-world feedback help decide what NeoWorks becomes.
Please note: these are unpaid volunteer contributor opportunities at this stage. They are not employment offers and do not guarantee future paid work. If NeoWorks grows and funding allows, paid roles may be advertised separately in the future.

HOW WE WANT TO WORK
Useful software. Respect for users.
NeoWorks is not interested in dark patterns, fake progress or shipping impressive-looking features that do not work.
Quality before quantity
We would rather make the core suite useful and dependable than advertise dozens of unfinished apps.
Practical engineering
Stable, understandable solutions matter more than buzzwords or unnecessary complexity.
Respect for contributors
Volunteer contributions should be optional, clearly scoped and properly credited where appropriate. No one should feel pressured to give more time than they can afford.
GET INVOLVED
Come join the fun.
If the mission means something to you, start by joining the community, following the roadmap and telling us where you think you can help.
Debuggers, developers, designers and makers wanted.
Tell us what you are good at, what part of NeoWorks interests you and how much time you realistically want to contribute.
NeoWorks is currently an independent pre-launch project. Volunteer participation does not create an employment relationship, entitlement to wages, equity, ownership, revenue share or future employment unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.
