Tech ethics that makes you smile

ETHOS was our responsible tech journey companion — no degree in ethics required, built with an understanding of the pressures practitioners are under.

ETHOS is no longer being built. The seedling app remains online as a preserved artifact, and you can still explore better intents in a place built for reflection, moral imagination, and smiles.

Wander through the seedling

The ETHOS seedling app is preserved as it was.

No account needed, no personal data collected, no tracking.

P.S.: Where the seedling's story ended...

ETHOS never grew past the seedling stage. We dreamed of growing it into a thriving tech ethics forest — a complete Ethical Tension and Health Operating System to help organisations close the ethical intent to action gap — but we never found the nutrients it needed to thrive, and in 2025 we stopped tending it.

The seedling remains online as an artifact, and our product vision is preserved as it stood. If something here takes root in your own practice, it will have grown after all.

In the embrace of Earth's timeless wisdom, we honor the Sacred Custodians of lands that stretch across Australia's vast horizons, and to the seas and communities that pulse with life. We extend a hand of respect to the wise elders who have walked before us and those who walk with us today, among the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our acknowledgment weaves further, to indigenous communities globally, whose lands cradle the veins of our interconnected digital world. We recognise the enduring echoes of the past and the ripples of the present that continue to shape the homes and hearts of these sacred peoples.
