What we are making.

Every project we are working on, one after another: what it is, why we are making it and where it stands. All of them are made for the US. New projects are added here as they come.

Camera mounting boxes

3D-printed boxes that give a UniFi camera a solid base and hide its cable and connector.

What it is

3D-printed mounting boxes for four UniFi camera models, in white or black and in up to three depths. The camera sits on the box, and the cable and its connector stay inside it.

Why we are making it

A camera has to mount to something, and its cable has to go somewhere. Without a box, the cable is often left hanging out of a hole in the wall. We wanted a clean, solid base made for each specific camera.

Where it stands

The boxes are made in Brooklyn, New York. The online store is almost ready but has not launched, so nothing is for sale yet.

02SoftwareIn development

Tax software

Apps that keep track of business expenses and get the numbers ready for tax time.

What it is

Apps for the US that keep business expenses, income and mileage in one place. Take a photo of a receipt, and the app reads it and files it. For any period you can see the totals and how much to set aside for taxes, and export one file for your accountant.

Why we are making it

People who work for themselves often have paper receipts, cash purchases and one card for everything, and all of it has to be sorted out at once when tax time comes. We want the numbers to be ready before that.

Where it stands

We use the first app ourselves every day while we build it. It is not open to the public yet. A separate app for companies is at the specification stage.

03SoftwareIn development

Marketplace

A neighbor-to-neighbor platform, starting with free giveaways.

What it is

A website and iPhone and Android apps where neighbors in the US give each other things they no longer need, for free. One neighbor posts an item, another finds it nearby, they agree in a chat and meet.

Why we are making it

Useful things get thrown away while someone nearby could use them. We want passing them on to be simple and quick for both sides.

Where it stands

In development for the web, iPhone and Android, and not open yet. The first version has no buying or selling. That may come later, with no date set.

App for installation crews

Jobs, crew schedules, hours and hourly pay for installation companies, in one system.

What it is

The office enters a job with the customer and address and puts installers on a schedule. Installers clock in and out on each job from their phones and add photos, even where there is no signal. The app then works out hourly pay, including overtime and minimum wage under federal and state rules, and exports the result for payroll.

Why we are making it

Hours, job photos and pay are often kept in different places: paper timesheets, phone galleries and spreadsheets. We want them in one system, so that closing a week of crew pay takes less than 30 minutes.

Where it stands

The office dashboard and the installer app for iPhone and Android are built and tested on our side. Before launch, it still needs sign-in by text message, tests on real phones and hosting.
