Brand strategy for founders who ship
Brand Peel is a local desktop app built because we got tired of choosing between cheap logo makers and expensive agency retainers.
Branding without agency fees
Branding without agency fees
Clear branding helps people understand what you're building. It shouldn't take a five-figure invoice to get started.
What we are building
An AI brand strategist on your desktop. Chat through positioning, get live docs, and export design tokens for your codebase.
Who it is for
Solo founders and small teams who build products themselves and need a coherent identity without hiring a studio.
How we work
Privacy first. We dogfood the app, keep files on your drive, and only use cloud AI when you request it.

How it started
How it started
From a weekend prototype to the tool we use to run this site.


The ideaWe needed branding for a side project and got tired of bouncing between docs, color pickers, and generic AI advice.
The prototype{
"The first build took a weekend": "chat on the left, a live-updating brand book on the right.",
"image": {
"light": "/images/features/strategy_visuals.png",
"dark": "/images/features/strategy_visuals.png"
}
}


The launchWe launched with Markdown exports, design tokens, and the exact branding you see on this site.
