Updated Jul 29, 2026
Clidey is a London-based, open-core, self-hosted software company building developer-facing data infrastructure products—primarily WhoDB (a governed, browser-based data operating system) and Dory (a documentation engine). Public sources conflict on the founding year: company/profile pages cluster around 2024-2025, while the UK legal entity was incorporated in 2022; I’ve used the operating-startup profile year here.
