Studio · KCGI · updated 2026-06-24

On the bench right now.

A hand-edited snapshot of what's actively in motion in the studio this week. Updated when something material changes — not on a schedule.

Active builds

3 shipping

This week: backup-after-every-update cadence; Xcode Cloud running clean.

This week: on-device Foundation Models for Discover; CloudKit V6 schema stable.

This week: build 1.0(6) submitted; display-name fix landed in project.yml.

In design / prototyping

Tailwind: True-cost-per-hour app for GA pilots. v0.1 scaffold builds clean; 4/4 cost-engine tests green. Differentiator: reserves math (engine + prop overhaul ÷ TBO).
Driver.Co: SwiftUI MapKit navigation + push-to-talk voice assistant. Nav verified in sim; voice loop next on device. Backlog tracked in repo.
Acre: Farming-weather app for row-crop growers. Dual platform (iOS + Android). Both v1 builds run + verified. Open-Meteo, no API keys.
Cicada: Narrative iOS game — boy's 1930 summer with his grandmother in Marah, Illinois. One-pager + prototype in flight.

In rotation

Reading: Apple's WWDC26 release notes — pulling pattern ideas for Foundation Models + Live Activities.
Watching: NWS forecast discussions for KCGI — bedrock for the Acre + Weather.Co source mix.
Listening: ATC live feeds (KCGI, KSTL) — background while writing SwiftUI views.

Intentional

Dispach. Sold to an indie team on July 1, 2026. Two-year export window through July 2028. Full story.

Marketing rituals. No social-media schedule, no growth funnel, no SEO sprints. Public surface stays this site + Lab + App Store listings.

Hiring. One person, end-to-end. The studio's North Star is coherence per ship, not output per quarter.
