Independent studio · Est. 2024 · New Hampshire

Calm tools for people who'd rather get on with their day.

A small one-person studio building iOS apps, stubbornly private web software, and a homelab that (mostly) stays up. No ads, no dark patterns, no quarterly roadmap meetings — just careful work on things that deserve to exist.

01  ·  Apps

A small, growing family of iOS apps. Each solves one thing well.

Shared design language across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Private by default, accessible by habit, and built to still feel good in five years.

02  ·  Main Street

Honest little websites for hometown businesses.

Not every local shop needs a marketing agency. Some just need a clean, honest site that looks like them — one that loads fast, stays out of the way, and points people to the phone number. That’s what we build here, quietly, for neighbors we’d call neighbors.

03  ·  Infrastructure & Play

Behind the scenes, a small homelab keeps things quiet and predictable.

Monitoring, docs, dashboards, and a handful of tools I built because I wanted them to exist. Everything here is real — running right now on servers named after Princess Bride characters.

04  ·  Story

Built by one person in New Hampshire who cares more than is strictly necessary.

I'm Patrick. I've spent most of my career in the IT industry — enterprise systems, MSP work, healthcare compliance, the unsexy stuff that has to work every day. LaClair Technologies is where I put the things I build for the joy of it.

Software should feel like a well-made tool — honest, quiet, and a little bit kind.

Most of what's here started because I wanted it to exist and nothing on the market quite fit. A calculator I'd actually reach for. A way to make team schedules legible to tired parents. A VoIP client that respects who you're calling. Tools that hold up under the weight of real life.

I ship slowly on purpose. I care about accessibility, privacy, and typography. I'd rather release nothing than release something that wastes your attention.

01
Privacy, as a posture
Your data stays on your device or in your iCloud. No analytics, no tracking, no data brokers.
02
Accessible by habit
VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, reduced motion, and contrast are baked in — not bolted on.
03
Built to last
Native Apple platforms, honest tech stacks, no engagement loops. Apps you can still respect in five years.
04
Small on purpose
One person. No roadmap theatre, no board decks, no pivot-of-the-quarter. Just quiet, careful work.
