An independent studio in Aotearoa New Zealand. We build our own products, advise on others, and bring engineering judgement to businesses.
Modern stacks applied with judgement — Node, Postgres, vanilla JavaScript, AI assistance where it earns its place. We pick the quiet, well-understood tools, not the loudest ones.
Web products and tools designed to be picked up in 30 seconds, work offline when the wifi drops, and still be running in five years. Multi-tenant from day one. No build steps. No churn.
Independent advice for founders and small teams — architecture, deployment, ops, and the unglamorous decisions that determine whether software ships and lasts. Available for select engagements.
Calendar, tasks, recipes, watchlist, documents, trip planning, split-pay, and a sticky-note board — all in one place, multi-tenant, up to six members per household. Designed to replace half a dozen single-purpose apps with one quiet one.
myhomeplanner.appWe pick problems we live with personally. The next one is being built, tested, and refined before it gets a name.
No build steps, no transpilers, no churn. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a small Node server. The code you write today still runs unchanged in five years.
Even single-user products are built so they can scale to a household, a team, an organisation — without rewriting the data model.
Every external service has a fallback. The wifi can drop, an API can go down, a key can expire — the product still works.
Cancel in one click. Export your data anytime. We tell you what we collect, what we don't, and why. The product wins by being good — not by trapping you.
Questions about a product, partnership ideas, or just want to say hello — we read every email.
