About
A solo studio with dirt on its boots.
KinNoKi Labs is one person building focused Apple-platform apps — iOS, macOS, and watchOS — and practical software systems for real-world workflows, from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
The same operator-first approach runs through everything: understand the real work, find the painful handoff, and build the smallest useful system around it.
Swift-first
Swift across the stack, from apps to server-side tooling — even this site is generated by Swift.
Pragmatic design
I don't chase trends. I build interfaces and workflows that feel obvious in daily use.
Reviewable systems
Small systems that show where every answer came from — not black boxes — especially when decisions carry real cost.
Open source
I share what I learn. The apps and several supporting tools are public on GitHub.
Background
Before KinNoKi Labs, I spent years in bid rooms — estimates, tender paperwork, and the documents that follow a job around. These days I deliver a rural mail route, which is where several of these apps were born.
That mix keeps the work honest. I know what it costs to quote work against a deadline with the numbers scattered across old jobs, and I know what a tool has to survive to earn its place on a busy day: spotty connectivity, repeated paperwork, and no patience for software that gets in the way.
