Our Story
Long ago, and far away in a small European country known as Bulgaria our co-founders ran a small software developing agency. They build solutions for clients as well as in-house projects. To help the dev team work on both, they looked for software but could not find the right one. So one day they decided to build it. And so they did.
“This is Great!” they thought about it and decided to release it to the entire world by the name Ora
“Ora” - means “hour” or “time”. From Latin hōra ("hour"), from Ancient Greek ὥρα ("hour").
The idea behind this word is we want you to pay attention to time and save time. The most precious resource.

Core Values
1. Be good and help others. The world isn’t fair, some are born with more than others. Always give a helping hand when you can.
2. Be sustainable. While writing software isn’t something that can ever have a negative impact on the ecosystem we think about sustainability. We encourage recycling and being aware of your own impact on the world.
3. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
4. Don't wait for something to happen. Take action.
5. Be agile. Build it fast. Iterate. React to change.
