A small, independent product studio
We build software that helps people leverage the most limited resource in the world. Time.
We're a small studio that cares a lot about good product, started from a simple wish to do more for the people around us. We make focused tools that give teams and people their hours back.

What we're building
Two products, same idea: your time is what matters most.
Palouse
Team task aggregation + agentic handoff
Pull work from Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Planner, and Asana into a single, minimal inbox, then hand tasks off to AI agents to run. Your team stays in the loop and every source stays in sync.
- Unified inbox with dedup & real-time sync
- Agentic handoff via MCP to Claude, Cursor, or custom agents
- Outbound updates pushed back to source systems
- Self-hosted open source or managed cloud

Specboard
Product management that lives in your git specs
Layer backlogs, boards, and roadmaps directly onto the spec files already in your repo. Specs stay canonical in git, versioned right alongside your code. One source of truth for PM, UX, and engineering, with no duplicate data to keep up in Jira or Aha.
- Git-native specs read straight from frontmatter
- Backlog, Kanban board, and quarterly roadmap
- One-click GitHub App sync on every push
- MCP exposes prioritized specs to coding agents

The studio
Founded from wanting to make a difference.
Studio Palouse grew from a simple wish: to put our shared skills to work and do more for the friends, colleagues, and people around us. We come together to take on a range of human problems that all share one theme.
Empower people to better leverage the most limited resource in the world. Time.
Small, on purpose
A tight team that ships. Fewer meetings, more product. Every hour we save ourselves is an hour we can hand back to the people who use our tools.
Time is the metric
We don't measure success in features. We measure it in the hours we give back, whether that goes to focus, to family, or to the work that matters most.
AI does the busywork
We build with agents at the core, not bolted on. The software handles the busywork so people can stay on the decisions only they can make.
