Everything we built
for our own jobs.
None of this started as a product. Each one started as a problem on a jobsite, in a quote, or on a truck at six in the morning, and it got built because the alternative was doing it by hand again. They are all here, free, in whatever state they are actually in. The ones filed under the trade are the ones we still use every week.
// For the trade
shading, AV, takeoff, quotingThe job-day app. A calendar that plots drive time and mileage between stops, several sites ordered into the shortest route, and photos and equipment history attached to the address instead of a folder somewhere. Readable with no signal in the field.
Drop a window on a map, set its bearing, and play the sun across any month of the year. It predicts exactly when direct glare lands, models the shadow, and settles the fabric and automation argument before anything gets ordered.
también en español → /solecitoA guided takeoff organized by project and room: width, height, sill height, mount depth, wire location, and compass bearing for every opening. Replaces a clipboard of scribbles with data that survives the drive back to the office.
en español → /medidaA quick project estimator for motorized shades and AV work: pick the scope, get a defensible ballpark. Built to answer the "roughly what are we looking at" question while you are still on the first call.
// Utilities
small, fast, one screen eachLength, area, volume, mass, temperature, pressure, speed, force, energy, power, frequency, angle, time, data size and data rate. Enough to cover a shade takeoff and a rack build without opening a second tab.
Reads the device microphone and draws both the level and the spectrum. Good for a noise-floor check in a theater room, chasing a whine in a rack, or proving to a client that the HVAC really is the loud thing.
Current conditions and the week ahead for one ZIP code. Built for the call you make the night before an outdoor install, about whether the crew is hanging screens tomorrow or staying inside.
Build a QR code in your own colors with a logo dropped in the middle, watch it redraw as you type, and export it clean enough to print on a truck door or a rack panel.
Total, tip percentage, number of people, done. The one tool on this page that has never once been used on a jobsite and gets opened constantly anyway.
A keyboard-driven market terminal with live panels and a real backend behind it. It is here because it shows what the word "dashboard" can mean when the thing is actually built instead of assembled out of widgets.
// Signal & hardware
radios, machines, and what they are actually doingScan for BLE devices, lock one as a target, and track its signal strength on a fighter-style HUD that tells you whether you are closing on it or drifting off. The honest way to find a misplaced tag, or a beacon nobody can account for.
A live dashboard for a Windows box: USB link quality, network and Wi-Fi state, Bluetooth radios, and disk health with temperatures, refreshed every second. Written to catch the drive that keeps dropping off the bus. Unzip, double-click, read the source if you want to.
A stripped Windows browser that is tabs and nothing else. No suggestions, no sponsored tiles, no ads. Made for a shop PC or a touch panel that should open two pages and never wander off.
// Apps & platforms
the builds that outgrew a single pageSearch by ZIP or by where you are standing, set a radius, filter by category, and read the results as a list, a calendar, or a map. It pulls from public sources and community posts, and anyone can add an event for nothing. Real data behind it, not a demo.
A full community platform for the trades: per-trade boards, threaded discussion, voting, image posts. Proof we can take something well past a single-purpose tool and then keep it running.
Navigation that answers the question a service van actually asks, which is what this route costs. Voice commands, toll analysis, and routing that weighs time against money instead of counting only minutes.
Turns a spare Android phone into a security camera with motion detection and H.264 streaming that stays on your own network. Nothing leaves the building, because there is no service on the other end to send it to.
A decentralized messenger: WebRTC peer to peer, mDNS discovery on the local network, and no central authority holding the keys or the accounts. Built to see how far a chat app gets with nobody in the middle.
The games moved out of the toolbox and into their own room. The dice roller, the Yahtzee scorecard, a murder-mystery MUD, a full artillery ballistics sim, and about twenty more, all of them in the browser.
Nothing here does the thing you need?
That is how most of these started. Tell us what the problem is and how you handle it now, and we build the first working version for free, with your catalog and your labor rates in it. If it is useful you keep it. If it is not, you are out one conversation.
