About
What Scuffed Corporation actually is
Scuffed Corporation is the company behind the software built by Dylan Schempp. That is the entire corporate structure: one engineer, and the software he keeps running. It exists so the projects have somewhere coherent to live: a name on the door, a privacy policy, and an inbox.
| Founded by | Dylan Schempp: founder, engineer, and the person who reads the contact inbox |
|---|---|
| Headcount | 1 |
| Products in daily production | 1: Scuffed OS, a personal management operating system |
Being small is not the pitch; it’s just the fact. The pitch is that everything the company ships is built to production standards, because the first and most demanding user is the person who wrote it.

About the name
“Scuffed” is internet shorthand for rough around the edges: functional, but visibly handmade. It is not a word companies usually reach for, which is roughly why we did.
Version one of everything is scuffed. Most companies handle this by naming themselves something aspirational and hoping nobody looks too closely. We went the other way: put the flaw in the name, then make sure it only ever applies to the surface.
The name is the disclaimer. The engineering is the rebuttal.
