Est. in a garage · Built around a real bar · No investors

BarNone Labs

An independent product studio — bootstrapped, garage-built, and run by people who'd rather ship than pitch.

See what we're building → Get in touch // the first round's on us

We build practical software products — applied AI, the useful kind, pointed at problems worth solving instead of demos worth pitching. We look for the ones big enough to change how an industry works, then build until they're solved.

Privacy and security aren't features we bolt on at the end. They're where we start.

Quietly, mostly. Here's what's on the bench.

Applied AI Coming soon

Recovela

AI that helps you rebuild your home inventory for insurance claims — so you can get back to normal life faster after a disaster.

Private by design — your inventory stays yours.

// Next

More on the bench. We'll show them when they're ready — not before.

A small crew of engineer-nerds who've been building software long enough to have strong opinions about all of it.

No investors. No growth team. No foosball table — just Lee's garage, which he built into a full bar, and a workbench that somehow keeps producing software. Our best architecture starts on the back of a cocktail napkin, and a surprising amount of it survives to production.

Raul

Jukebox Whisperer

Senior IT leader in DoD / space. Enterprise infrastructure, open source, and cloud — the kind where downtime and data leaks aren't options.

L

Lee

Head of Pour-duction

Former AWS cloud partner architect, 20+ years shipping production software. Also built the bar and tends it — hence the title. The garage is his; the drinks are on him.

C

Charles

Last Call Engineering

20+ years of Java on large-scale production systems. Has quietly fixed things at 2am you'll never know were broken.

R

Ryan

Resident Bar Fly

AWS partner architect, industrial & manufacturing IoT. Officially advises; realistically he's here for Lee's drinks. We don't blame him.

// Yes, those are the real titles. Yes, it's a real bar. The résumés are real too.

Got something worth building?

Or you just want to argue about it over a beer. Either way, we're easy to find.
