RAD Programmer is the Delphi tooling brand of Ideas Awakened, Inc. In practice, that means me: Darian Miller, an Embarcadero MVP who has been shipping software since the MS-DOS days — through the Windows desktop era, client/server, and into today's mix of web, mobile, and cloud — with Delphi as my primary tool for most of that ride, and still having fun with it.

Delphi codebases live a long time — decades, routinely — and the developers who maintain them deserve tooling built with respect for that source. That's the entire premise here: tools that are provably safe before they are powerful, that run fully offline because your code is nobody else's business, and that you buy once instead of renting — no subscriptions, no phone-home, no surprises.
radFormatter is the first of these tools. More are in development, for code analysis, exploration, and automation.
If you've been around the Delphi world, we may have already crossed paths: I write about Delphi development on my blog at ideasawakened.com, and you'll find me on my Delphi Developer Group on Telegram — with over 1,700 members and is a great place to ask or answer Delphi questions in a live-chat setting.
On GitHub, I publish open source at various places including:
We can also connect on LinkedIn or if you like old-school message boards, then I highly recommend Delphi-PRAXiS, the International Developer Community.
Ideas Awakened, Inc. is the U.S. company behind the RAD Programmer brand — the legal entity you'll see on invoices, licenses, and the fine print. Following an exit from the private-equity purchase at my previous software company, Ideas Awakened is securely funded and building for the long term — which is exactly what you want to hear from someone selling perpetual licenses.
