What we build
Five kinds of work.
-
Applications
Consumer and professional applications for mobile and desktop, built for the platforms people already use.
-
Digital tools
Focused utilities that solve one problem precisely, without asking anyone to change how they already work.
-
Automation
Systems that remove repetitive work: data pipelines, scheduled processes, and quiet integrations between services.
-
Software products
Products we develop, maintain, and support ourselves, distributed through app stores and directly on the web.
-
Online services
E-commerce and marketplace operations, together with the software and infrastructure that keep them running.
Products
Software worth keeping.
Start with the work, choose features carefully, and keep refining after launch. Explore how we make products and meet SeamText, our document-first Markdown editor.
Platform
Shared operations for the products you build.
Bring accounts, product access, and user issues together across your product portfolio.
Research
Research informs how we build.
IO Patina Labs
IO Patina Labs is the Research and Innovation Division of IO Patina LLC. It studies business analytics, artificial intelligence, automation, and computational methods, and its findings shape the products we choose to build and how we build them.
How we work
Fewer decisions, made more carefully.
Thoughtful design
We narrow the problem before we widen the solution. Fewer features, better chosen.
Rigorous research
Decisions are grounded in measurement and method rather than in whatever is currently fashionable.
Practical implementation
We build software that runs on ordinary hardware, ships on schedule, and is maintained by the people who made it.
Long-term usefulness
Stable interfaces, careful updates, and support that continues after the first release.
Company
IO Patina LLC is a California-based software and digital products company.
We work on our own products and, selectively, with organisations that need software built with the same care.
