Independent developer lab

Consumer apps, built with unreasonable care.

TriHolm Labs Inc. is a developer lab that designs, builds and ships its own consumer products end to end. Our consulting arm keeps us close to the state of the craft.

The discipline of a studio, the curiosity of a lab.

001

Own the whole stack

Research, design, engineering and support live under one roof. No handoffs, no telephone game.

002

Consumer first

We build for individuals, not procurement committees. If a person can't figure it out alone, it isn't finished.

003

Depth over breadth

Different categories, but never more than we can give real attention to. Breadth is earned, not assumed.

004

Consulting keeps us honest

Client work on real production stacks funds the lab and keeps our engineering opinions grounded in what actually ships.

Kioku

A few more consumer ideas are in early research. If you're working on something adjacent, we'd rather talk early than late.

Four phases. Every idea has to earn the next one.

01

Interrogate

Two weeks of talking to real people about a real irritation. No product talk, no roadmap.

02

Prototype

The thinnest possible thing that could be loved. Built to be thrown away without grief.

03

Ship narrow

A small group of people using it daily beats a large group hearing about it.

04

Commit or close

Either it becomes a company with its own name and team, or we write up what we learned and stop.
