What we build

Five kinds of work.

  • Applications

    Consumer and professional applications for mobile and desktop, built for the platforms people already use.

  • Digital tools

    Focused utilities that solve one problem precisely, without asking anyone to change how they already work.

  • Automation

    Systems that remove repetitive work: data pipelines, scheduled processes, and quiet integrations between services.

  • Software products

    Products we develop, maintain, and support ourselves, distributed through app stores and directly on the web.

  • Online services

    E-commerce and marketplace initiatives, together with the operational software that keeps them running.

Product portfolio

Three lines of product.

The product framework
Line 01

Applications

Installed software for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows, published under IO Patina or under its own product brand.

Line 02

Digital tools

Small, precise utilities delivered on the web, priced simply and maintained for the long term.

Line 03

Platforms

Longer-lived systems: online services, commerce and marketplace operations, and the automation behind them.

Products will be published here as they become publicly available.

Research

Research informs how we build.

MAVA Lab

MAVA Lab is the research initiative within the IO Patina ecosystem. It studies marketing analytics, artificial intelligence, automation, and computational methods, and its findings shape the products we choose to build and how we build them.

  • Marketing analytics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Automation
  • Computational methods
  • Applied research

How we work

Fewer decisions, made more carefully.

Thoughtful design

We narrow the problem before we widen the solution. Fewer features, better chosen.

Rigorous research

Decisions are grounded in measurement and method rather than in whatever is currently fashionable.

Practical implementation

We build software that runs on ordinary hardware, ships on schedule, and is maintained by the people who made it.

Long-term usefulness

Stable interfaces, careful updates, and support that continues after the first release.

Company

IO Patina LLC is a California-based software and digital products company.

We work on our own products and, selectively, with organisations that need software built with the same care.
