Studio
Ideas, squared. We build instruments: small, exact tools for people who'd rather see the data. Weather came first.
Instruments for people who'd rather see the data than the forecast. One for people who love radar. Two for people who own a station. More lines to come, and not all of them weather.
WeatherStudio is for the people who watch the loop before they read the forecast. No station needed. Just the sky, in the detail you actually want.
No hardware required. If you've ever paused a loop to look at a hook echo, this one is for you.
Not a weather app. A radar workbench. Live and looped radar with the controls a forecast app hides, and the room to actually look.
Gauge and Gauge Watch are a matched pair: the same readings in the two places your station doesn't reach. The Mac menu bar at your desk, your wrist everywhere else.
Made for Ambient Weather stations. Nothing else, on purpose. Works through the Ambient Weather API. You'll need an ambientweather.net account and an API key. If you have a station, you already know why.
Your station in the menu bar. The readings you check most, one glance from whatever you're doing, and the rest one click down.
Your station on your wrist. Temperature, wind, rain and pressure without reaching for a phone. Same station, same numbers, one look.
Each instrument is a standalone app. Look for WeatherStudio and Gauge on the Mac App Store soon, and Gauge Watch on the App Store for Apple Watch.
We're a product studio, not an agency. We make our own things, ship them, and keep the ones that work.
Most software gets bigger by adding. Ours gets better by multiplying. Each tool we build makes the next one faster to build, and each problem we solve becomes a primitive we can use again. That's the whole trick. Find the good part, then square it.
Clear scope, clear ship dates, clear no's. Ambiguity is expensive. Edges are cheap.
A tool with one job can be perfect at it. Feature creep is how good products become average ones.
Reuse the primitive. Ship the pattern. The second product should take half the time of the first.
Honest structure, visible seams. If we can't explain how it works, it isn't done.
Conceived, designed, engineered and shipped in-house. We own the roadmap and the consequences.
A few founders a year who need a first product built properly. Small scope, fixed price, real ship date.
Station owners, radar people, founders, and anyone who wants early access to Line 01. One email. No forms.
