We build the part of your app
nobody should have to.
Lintel started with two engineers who had each rebuilt the same sign-in flow four times. Today a small team in Lisbon, Berlin and New Delhi keeps the front door working for thousands of products.

Why we
started Lintel.
Every product we worked on had the same ticket near the top of the backlog: rebuild sign-in. New providers, a second factor for the big customer, organizations for the team plan. It was never the work anyone joined for, and it never stayed finished.
In 2022 we left our jobs to build the version we kept wishing for. A front door you install in an afternoon, that handles the edge cases quietly and gets out of the way. Authentication should be load-bearing, not decorative.
More than 9,000 products use Lintel today, from weekend projects to public companies. We’re still a small team, and we still answer support tickets ourselves.

What we hold
ourselves to.
Three rules we use when a decision could go either way.
01
Load-bearing, not decorative
We build the parts that have to hold. Reliability comes before features, and a good release is one you barely notice.
02
Boring on purpose
Sign-in should feel familiar. We follow the standards, skip the clever tricks and document every decision we make for you.
03
Your users stay yours
Export everything, any time. We never sell data, never contact your users and never make leaving harder than staying.
The people
behind the door.
Fourteen of us across three offices. A few of the faces you’ll meet in support and on calls.

We hire slowly and keep the team small. If one of these fits, we’d like to hear from you.
