Studio Labs
The work that sits outside the system.
Not everything built here belongs in a stack for running a company. These are the side projects, research tools and one retired product — kept visible because a catalogue that only shows the wins is a brochure.
Still running
Live, maintained, and deliberately not in the twelve.
Moonlit AI
2026On-device AI bedtime stories for children, in 30 languages.
Still on the App Store and still maintained. It has nothing to do with running a company, which is why it lives here rather than in the twelve.
StoicVPS
2026Live VPS pricing and weekly automated benchmarks across ten providers.
A research tool that became a public site. It feeds Server Compass rather than competing with it.
Readima
2024Speed-reading training built on eye-movement research.
Shipped and still online, but it never connected to the rest of the work. Kept, not developed.
Two reference sites on getting an app onto a server without a platform.
Written while building Server Compass. They still bring in the people the product was made for.
Retired
The one that did not work, and what it changed.
Write.Rocks
Sunset · 2023A blogging platform for developers — block editor, multi-site, built-in analytics.
Retired. It was a good product in a market that already had ten good products, and it taught the rule the rest of this list follows: build the thing you are already doing by hand.
Three more names were retired without being failures: 1SessionTool, 1AgentBox and 1AIControl shipped as separate products before it was obvious they were features. They now live inside 1DevTool and 1VMTool.
