№ 01 · The Featured Work

A music
player for the shelves
you actually
own.

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.

Driving music, at last.

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

№ 04 · The Workhouse

One word,
two grand
parents.

Obair + Haus = Workhouse Gaelic · German · the meaning that fell out

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.
