Independent tools. Brown County, Indiana.

Small lab.
Useful tools.
Zero theater.

Useful technology for actual people.

We build the tools we wish existed. Then we put them to work. One garage, two black cats, and coffee that probably needs an oil change.

From the workbench

Less friction.
More getting somewhere.

You should understand what a tool does before you download it. Clear purpose, honest requirements, and a proper place to get help.

01 / PURPOSE

Built for a real problem.

Recover forgotten work. Give your terminal some breathing room. Make a coding agent show its work. The tool earns its place.

02 / OWNERSHIP

Keep your hands on the wheel.

Run the tools on your own machine. Know what they need, where your data goes, and which optional services cost money.

03 / HONESTY

Show the work.

A shiny badge is cheap. A usable download, clear instructions, and checks you can repeat are the part that matters.

The public workbench

Five tools.
Pick your kind of useful.

Architecture ideas. Everyday command-line helpers. A browser terminal. A workspace dashboard. Guardrails for coding agents.

The Garage Chronicles: Origins Edition

Look. It was 1984. I was seven years old. Every kid in my neighborhood had one of three things: a Rubik's Cube they couldn't solve, a Cabbage Patch Kid their mom waited in line for six hours to buy, or a Transformer…

The Subscription Hater's Manifesto

The Gas Station Manifesto

Okay so look. I'm not even supposed to be writing this. I work at a gas station. My job is to:

004 / ROUTER DUTYSupervision is non-negotiable.

The overnight shift

Small crew.
Strong supervision.

Bella manages the keyboard. Bowser keeps an eye on the infrastructure. Floyd does the bit that requires opposable thumbs.

One garage. Plenty of curiosity. A healthy disrespect for work that gets in the way of working.

Meet the whole operation

Built in a garage. Answerable to cats.

Got a problem that
deserves a better tool?

The coffee’s on. Bring the problem that keeps making your day harder than it needs to be.
