Say hello

Just a Catalyst

An applied lab building tools for change.

for everyday people and businesses

We are not the reaction.

We build instruments of change—software that amplifies what people and teams are already trying to become. Not platforms that demand attention. Not products that create dependency. Just tools.

Some call this a venture studio. Others might say applied lab. We prefer: a small group building things that matter, one careful step at a time.

The best catalyst disappears into the reaction it enables.

Think big. Execute bigger.

What we're building

Products

  • Commonplace Private Beta

    Turn private knowledge into public signal. A publishing platform for the ideas that deserve to escape your notes.

  • Activity tracking for new parents. Because the first months are chaos enough without forgetting when they last ate.

  • YourPlaybook Alpha

    Your AI chief of staff. Operations intelligence that learns how your team actually works.

Beyond products

Sharing what we learn

Courses and workshops on AI, product thinking, and software craft. Building people who build things.

Partnerships

Forward-deployed engineering with select partners. Building specialized coding agents. Custom ERP systems for SMBs. Embedded where it matters.

The longer arc

CatalystOS

Everything we build teaches us something about how software should work. CatalystOS is where those lessons converge—customizable automation software that shapes itself to how you work, not the other way around.

Coming soon. One step at a time.
