Software that fits the work.
Mr. Jackdaw Company finds the workflows professionals have stopped noticing, and builds software shaped to them.
Native iOS apps. Research tools for the web.
Pay once. Own it.
Native iOS apps. On-device processing, no subscription, no recurring cost. Each app addresses a specific workflow professionals have adapted around rather than fixed.
HopStop
Calendar-first route planner.
Pull appointments from the calendar into a route. HopStop computes drive times and hands off to navigation. Calendar-first means no re-entry of addresses already there.

Strategic board game.
Players leap over opponent tiles, converting them and landing beyond: a two-tile swing per move. The jump mechanic introduces reversibility that placement games lack, making positional play genuinely strategic.

Procedural space exploration.
A layered reveal across orbital pass, probe deployment, and surface descent. Each star system is generated from seed; the ruins have something to say about who was there.
In developmentResearch tools for specific buyers.
Built for decisions that take real preparation. Monetized via data partnership rather than subscription: a different commercial shape from the apps line, with the same commitment to fit.
