The name means friend.

Bwenzi is a Nyanja word, the language spoken across eastern Zambia and Malawi, and it means friend, or fellowship.

That is not decoration. It is the whole idea. We build software the way a good friend shows up: helpful, honest, and never taking more than it gives. A friend doesn't sell your address book. A friend doesn't slip ads in front of the people you're trying to serve. A friend remembers that you're free to leave whenever you want, and holds the door open when you do.

Who we are

Bwenzi is a Christian-owned and veteran-owned software company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. We're independent and bootstrapped. No investors, no private-equity roll-up, and no plan to become one. Just software made carefully, for churches, families, and communities.

Our faith shapes how we work more than what we say. It shows up as plain honesty, real service, doing the conservative and right thing when a shortcut is available, and building things we'd be glad to hand to our own church and our own kids.

What we believe about your privacy

We honor your privacy the way we want our own honored. That means a few concrete promises, not a vibe:

• We protect your information. When we study how an app is used to make it better, that data is anonymized. We see the patterns, not the people.
• We never sell your information, and we never use it for advertising. There are no ads in our apps. Not on the free plan, not on any plan.
• We don't track you across the web. No ad SDKs, no cross-site trackers, no surveillance.
• What we do keep, we protect, with encryption and access controls.
• You can leave clean. Delete your account and your data whenever you decide. It's your information, and you should be able to take it back.

What we build

We build AI and machine learning software for churches, families, and communities. Everything we make is ad-free, private by default, and meant to be a joy to use.

We'd rather build first and talk about it after. When something is ready, you'll find it here.
