The people behind Blume

Blume is built by two engineers who met at NTNU in Trondheim and have been building software together and apart ever since.

We believe watching your coding agents work should be effortless — and that the tools you rely on should respect your data.

Why we're building Blume

Coding agents changed how software gets built — but keeping track of what they're doing, what they cost, and what they touch is still harder than it should be.

We're building Blume to make that effortless: one place to watch every coding agent, designed local-first so your conversations stay yours.
