Butcher by day, developer by night.

Ellijay Labs is a one-person independent software studio based in North Georgia. By day, the person behind it works as a butcher — the kind of job that teaches you quickly what good tooling looks like and what bad tooling costs you.

The software here started as solutions to real problems encountered at work. SureD8 came from watching product expire that didn't have to. Creel came from one too many sketchy online converters. The pattern is the same every time: see a gap, build a fix, ship it.

No outside funding. No team of fifty. Just focused, practical tools built to be used, not demoed.

How we build

Local-first

Where possible, tools run on your machine and keep your data there. You shouldn't need an internet connection to convert a file.

No dark patterns

Free tiers are real. Pricing is upfront. There are no hidden limits designed to frustrate you into upgrading.

Ship and iterate

Software in live use beats perfect software in development. We'd rather have something real in your hands sooner.
