Why we built Glenby
Glenby is built and run by Ebrahim Seyfi, trading as "Senorit", based in Hamburg.
Most outdoor apps solve a problem we didn't have: finding the perfect route. What was missing was something else, a reason to get outside more often in the first place, without turning it into another performance project.
Streak apps and fitness trackers showed us how quickly a good intention turns into a bad feeling. A missed day, a red number, a push notification designed to trigger guilt. Glenby is built deliberately differently: a missed day breaks nothing, there's no leaderboard, and the photo proof is honest instead of dressed up by an AI that supposedly knows which plant that was.
We leave out comparison feeds, leaderboards and invented download queues. Glenby should feel manageable even when you have little time.
The database lives with a hosting provider in Western Europe, encrypted media and delivery run on international infrastructure, every transfer safeguarded under GDPR. Nothing is sold to ad networks. That's not a marketing line, it's the technical foundation the app is built on.
Glenby counts streaks by the week, leaving room for work, bad weather and breaks. This is a product design choice, not a scientifically proven promise about how using the app will make you feel.

What we hold ourselves to
No feature ahead of the truth
If we can't do something, we say so instead of claiming it.
No performance pressure as a growth lever
Your progress belongs to you. We leave out leaderboards and notifications that put pressure on you for taking a break.
Staying independent
Glenby isn't for sale to a conglomerate that needs user data for AI training.
Frequently asked questions about Glenby as a company
Is Glenby a one-person project?
Yes. Glenby is built and run by Ebrahim Seyfi as a sole proprietor, trading as "Senorit", based in Hamburg. There's no commercial register entry because none is required at this size.
Will Glenby ever be sold to a larger company?
No, that's not an option being pursued. Glenby stays independent specifically so decisions like no performance pressure and end-to-end encryption can't later be reversed by a new owner.
