About Koda
My mission and brand identity.
The Mission
Koda Remote creates respectful, beautiful tools for the open-source community. Built by Maximilian Kallina in Vienna, I believe software should be quiet, fast, and private.
Every design decision—from the minimalist interface to the privacy-first architecture—reflects my commitment to creating technology that respects users.
The Name
"Koda" is a deliberate variation of "Kodi" — close enough to be immediately recognizable to the community, distinct enough to stand on its own. The name was chosen in consultation with the Kodi Foundation, who confirmed it acceptable as a companion app name.
The Icon
The icon shows an Apple TV remote silhouette on a light grey background with a liquid glass effect. The lower navigation buttons are formed by a rotated Kodi logo — a subtle nod to both platforms the app bridges.
The design was reviewed and approved by the Kodi Foundation.
