Nominal Industries
The lineup.
Everything we're building, sorted by how likely it is to actually ship. Inspired by the CNCF maturity model, but with more realistic tier names.
Real software that real humans use. Has been tested by at least one person who didn't write it. May still have opinions about your workflow, but they're mostly correct opinions.
DeepDive
Every aquarium app is either a glorified spreadsheet or wants you to log in to check your own fish. Offline-first aquarium management with AI-powered insights for people who can pronounce "Corydoras."

Nibble
Born from the experience of checking your Anthropic bill and feeling your soul leave your body. A macOS menu bar app that tells you how much Claude you've consumed before it becomes a problem.
learn more →Scoville
"Spicy brain optimized" AI desktop client. Spatial UI designed for neurodivergent workflows. Proof of concept that graduated because people kept asking to try it.
learn more →Past the "is this even a good idea?" phase. Architecture exists. Code compiles. Someone has used it at least once and not immediately closed the laptop. Shipping timeline is "when it's ready" which is code for "unclear."
Steep
Desktop reference tool for Traditional Chinese Medicine food therapy. Five Element color system, bidirectional search, thermal filtering. Exactly the kind of niche thing that shouldn't exist but absolutely should.
learn more →Nourish
Patient-facing food therapy companion. Offline-first, personalized food plans with daily check-ins and recipe cards. Built because "just eat better" is not a treatment plan.
learn more →Dossier
Local-first desktop app that assembles a unified profile from your data exports. See what the ad networks know about you, visualized in a way that's equal parts informative and unsettling.

Galactic
Terminal workbench for infrastructure operators. Structured output regions, pass/fail badges, foldable command results. For people who think their terminal should have opinions about information hierarchy.
learn more →SuperLaser
Native infrastructure management with a unified knowledge graph, Pulumi IaC integration, and embedded local LLM reasoning. Currently a read-only client that's surprisingly useful already.
learn more →Nominal SDKs
Rust SDK monorepo with 16 crates covering infrastructure APIs, IoT protocols, BLE devices, and sync engines. The shared plumbing that makes everything else possible. 240+ public methods and growing.
A UI prototype exists. You can click on things and sometimes they do what you'd expect. The architecture doc is longer than the codebase. Screenshots have been taken and shown to at least one person who said "oh, neat."
Switchboard
MCP gateway that aggregates multiple backends into a single endpoint with session persistence and built-in diagnostics. Because managing one protocol shouldn't require twelve terminal windows.
learn more →Pylon
Fast, dark-mode-only web interface for managing PowerDNS servers. Ships as a single static Rust binary because installers are for quitters.
Ideas that showed up at 2am, refused to leave, and are now getting an architecture doc whether they deserve one or not. May ship. May pivot. May teach us something and get a respectful cremation. All outcomes are valid.
Hoard
Stuff inventory for spicy brains whose belongings span screws to servers. Doom Pile is a first-class container type. Quantity "a bunch" is a valid entry. Named after a dragon's hoard because only the dragon knows where everything is.
Dialed
Coffee research adventure app. Brew journal, bean atlas, roaster map, and equipment garage for people who think about coffee more than they probably should. BLE espresso machine integration because of course.
Wax
Equipment remote that's also a music catalog and discovery tool. Unifies your vinyl collection, streaming history, and audio gear into one interface. Features a "Listen as a Record" mode because streaming killed the ritual and we want it back.
UltraNexus
"What if the TormentNexus was good, actually?" AI orchestration workbench with explicit context management, sub-agent delegation, and an MCP server that lets your AI spin up more AI. Port 8104 (10-4, copy that).
