Technology built for people, not profit.
A nonprofit tech studio building tools for communities the tech industry left behind. We believe technology should be infrastructure — public, shared, and built for the common good.

Our First Project
CheckMyHandbook.org
Your employee handbook might contain illegal rules. Your employer is counting on you not knowing that.
CheckMyHandbook scans your workplace policies, flags potential violations of federal labor law, and helps you take action.
Built for workers who don't have lawyers.
What We Do
Products
Tools for real people with real problems. Free or low-cost. Always built alongside the communities that need them.
Consulting
Technical expertise for organizations doing good. Revenue that keeps the lights on and the mission moving.
Grants
Funding and support for aligned projects. We don't just build — we help others build too.
Who We Are
Citizen Computing is a nonprofit tech studio incubated under Lupine Legacy Foundation. We build tools for communities the tech industry left behind. We build in public. We build for people. We believe technology should be a public good — not a private advantage.
Founded by Matt Johnston, a product builder who spent years at Netflix and Zoom before wanting to turn those skills toward public good. Matt serves on the board of Lupine Legacy Foundation.
CheckMyHandbook is just the start.
More tools are in development. Here's how to stay connected.
