Software, built with lake-effect intensity.
Nine products in motion — for gig drivers, Mac power users, release teams, focused minds, faith, fitness, small business, and Mac cleanup. Designed, built, and shipped from Buffalo, New York.
Every offer,
priced honestly.
Gig apps show you the payout. WheelWage shows you the truth — the full route, the fuel, the taxes, the real hourly rate — in the seconds before you accept or decline.
- /01Offer analysis, live on screen — payout, distance, and time decoded instantly.
- /02True $/hr after fuel cost and tax set-aside, not the sticker number.
- /03Audit-ready mileage, tracked automatically for every deduction you've earned.
Nine builds.
One obsession — useful.
Built where
the weather works.
Lake-effect snow is what happens when cold air crosses warm water — ordinary ingredients, extraordinary output. That's the studio. We take everyday friction — an offer you can't price, a task you can't start, a store you can't track — and turn it into software that hits hard.
No venture mandate. No growth hacks. A small team in Buffalo shipping things we use ourselves, every single day.
We are user zero
Every product starts as our own problem. We drive the gigs, run the fasts, manage the focus. If it doesn't survive our daily use, it doesn't ship.
Local-first, by default
Your data lives on your device — exportable, auditable, yours. Crash-safe storage and offline operation aren't features; they're the floor.
Ship early, sharpen always
Alphas in real hands beat decks in boardrooms. Feedback from actual drivers, fasters, and store owners decides what we build next.
Be early.
First invites go out as each beta opens — CircadiaFasting, WheelWage, and Cupertidy are next. No noise, just launches.
