Crate is an iOS and watchOS music application that connects directly to your Plex Media Server — no streaming subscription, no algorithmic shuffle, no fuss. Just the records you already curated, beautifully arranged and quietly available, even on your wrist.




Connects to any Plex Media Server you can reach — local, remote, or somewhere in between — and treats your library like a library, not a feed.

Sync albums to Apple Watch and leave the phone behind. Crate plays through Bluetooth headphones with no streaming required.

A CarPlay companion is in the workshop — landing in a forthcoming release. Glanceable, large-tap controls; the same library, in the dashboard.

Obairhaus is the parent company of a small constellation of projects, each one a side of the same person. It is a t-shirt label for veterans and patriots; an overlanding YouTube channel for a particular Jeep Gladiator; a podcast about media and manipulation; a portfolio site; and now, an app studio. The workhouse is wherever the work happens to be.
An online t-shirt store for those who served and those who hold the line — graphics with a point of view, printed on garments built to be worn out and earned.
A channel about putting a Jeep Gladiator places it shouldn't go and bringing it back. Rigs, routes, and what breaks along the way.
A podcast on media manipulation in society — produced two episodes a week, paying attention so the rest of us don't have to.
The plain-paper version: a portfolio site for everything that doesn't fit neatly into one of the other doors of the workhouse.
