A small studio making
tools for writing, listening,
and the spaces between.
A mesh of intertwined products under one roof — writing, listening, local commerce, and the spaces between. We move quickly, ship in public, and let the work argue for itself.
An audiobook + audio-drama catalog built around shared-lore universes. Listeners discover serialized fiction; creators publish to a single home rather than scattered podcast feeds.
Manuscript in, audiobook out. Multi-voice acted chapters, music bumpers, mastered audio. Indie authors ship to Audible / Apple / Spotify without hiring a studio.
Daily journaling with calendar views, weekly recaps, voice notes, and an AI companion that reads what you write. The bedrock product the rest grew out of.
Turn a spare iPad into the calm center of the house — routines, the shared calendar, meals, the shopping list, pets, and JQ as the family assistant. No hardware to buy.
A table-based writing community. Public tables, shared prompts, weekly bento collections, embeddable widgets. Writers find each other through the work, not the algorithm.
Turns your journals into personalized fiction — a metaphorical retelling of your own life that lets you see it from the outside. The bet: a story about you can change you in ways advice never could.
Record your voice and your words into time-locked capsules — delivered to the people you love on a future date, or after you’re gone. Presence that outlives the moment.
The outward-facing edge of the mesh — sibling products on their own domains, plus the HiveJournal products built to live on other people’s surfaces. Closely intertwined.
A site builder for local businesses — storefronts, bookings, and ecommerce a shop owner can stand up in an afternoon. The commerce backbone the rest of the local mesh plugs into.
The commerce engine behind MEHKO home-cook meal drops and tiny-home stays — coarse-location listings, safe just-in-time handoff, and proxy-authed orders. Powers delivered.menu.
Design a deck and get a materials estimate — the deck_estimate block that drops into any QuickSites contractor site. Design tooling that turns into a quote.
A field-capture trust layer for auto repair — the tech shows the customer the worn part before they approve, so the bill is transparent. Built by QuickSites on HiveJournal’s glasses + capture rail; a HiveJournal × QuickSites collaboration.
A hands-free store-walk copilot — the fastest route through the store, where every item sits, scan-to-confirm, and batched multi-customer picking. Live for shoppers; measured pilots for grocery delivery at fleet scale. A HiveJournal product on the shared capture rail.
An embeddable player that turns any web page into audio — a spoken summary, an explain-like-I’m-10, or a Pitch Panel — in a voice you choose. Drops onto any site with one snippet.
Send AI personas with real backstories to browse your live site toward a goal — they report, first-person, what confused them, and a human confirms every finding before it counts. Runs on any site; free to start.
DeckSketch is majority-owned by ScaleUp Software (Daniel Russo); Point Seven Studio leads its development as a minority owner.
One team, many surfaces. Decisions get made in the room they affect. Products earn their place in the mesh by getting used — there's no roadmap committee and no quarterly theater. The bar for shipping is the same on every surface: does it make the next thing easier.
