Madmaxlabs
About

We're Falcon and Sid.

Madmaxlabs is a small software studio. Two people, one calendar, opinionated as one. We build intelligent apps that respect the people using them.

Who we are

Falcon.Founded the studio. Came up through Android, picked up Unity for a handful of small games and ASMR experiments, and shipped enough modern web work to feel at home there too. Runs a small client agency on the side that mostly does legacy CMS migrations and AI-stack replacements. The agency covers the bills so the studio doesn't have to.

Sid. Co-collaborator on studio work. Spends more time on whether we shouldbuild something than whether we can. The second pair of eyes on every decision and the reason there's a “we” on every page of this site instead of an “I.”

How the studio started

The studio started as a label for work Falcon couldn't justify under agency hours. Things worth building that didn't have a client. The first apps shipped under that name in 2023.

It became a real two-person thing in 2026 when Sid joined as a co-collaborator. The work since has been smaller and slower than what either of us would ship alone. That's the point.

What we're building

Ledgerly (Android, on-device personal finance), CookwithPops (web, structured cooking instruction), and a handful of agentic and lab projects. See the changelog for what shipped recently and /now for what's active this week.

How we work

Small on purpose. Two people means we can hold the entire shape of a product in our heads. No feature councils, no roadmap negotiation, no design-by-committee. The constraint is the feature.

We ship slowly and write about what we learn. Nothing here is optimized for growth metrics. The goal is to build a short list of products we'd use ourselves, that hold up over time.

We're biased toward on-device intelligence, local-first data, and bring-your-own-key economics. Read the agentic thesis and the manifesto for the long version.

What we don't do

We don't take paid client work through the studio. That goes through Falcon's agency, which is a separate entity. We don't maintain free SaaS tools for strangers. We don't optimize for hire-me signaling. The studio is for product work we own, on our timeline.
