Studio for hire
Small senior teams that ship. Web, mobile, and the boring backend work that holds it all together. No 14-step discovery phase.
Studio + LabWe design, build,
We design, build,
and ship — software,
apps, and hardware.
TPS505 is a small studio and lab. By day we build for clients. The rest of the time we make our own things — connected IoT hardware and the apps that talk to them.
Most projects start with a 30-minute call. No pitch deck required.

Why TPS505
Three things every studio should do.We do all three.
In-house lab
We build our own products too — connected hardware, prototyping rigs, and the apps that drive them. Client work is sharper for it.
Hardware + software, end-to-end
From PCB and firmware to a polished app and a real public API. One team that owns the whole stack — fewer handoffs, faster ship.
Live · MQTT
A real device, talking to this page.
This is an actual TimeCube sitting on the bench in our lab. Whichever face is up, you'll see it here — published over MQTT, streamed straight into your browser.

Nudge the cube on the bench and the panel above rolls with it. Every flip is one MQTT publish to timecube/face.
Work + Products
Talk to us about a project →What we ship.
A mix of our own products and the work we do for other people — hardware, web, mobile, and the bits in between.
Hardware · In-housenodexdevices.com
Nodex Devices
Our hardware brand. A Strava display launching now, with smart home devices and sensors close behind.
VisitiOS · In-houseApp Store
MQTT Developer
An MQTT explorer for people on the move. Stores messages and brokers locally, so debugging picks up where you left off.
VisitiOS · In-houseApp Store
Start Sequence
A sailing race starter. The right beep at the right moment, every time. Multi-user racing coming soon.
VisitWeb · In-houseliztit.app
liztit.app
A list tool we built for ourselves, then opened up. Lightweight, fast, and shaped by years of internal use.
VisitWeb · In-housetools.tps505.com
TPS505 Tools
A collection of small utilities we made for ourselves and put online for everyone else. No signup, no nonsense.
VisitServices
And the things we do for others.
Custom software development
Web apps, mobile apps, internal tools — built to fit your team and the way you actually work. Senior hands on every project.
IoT consulting
From PCB and firmware to a polished app and a real public API. We help teams that need a working sensor in production — not a prototype on a desk.
Networking & AV
Cabling, switching, racks, and AV install. Done properly the first time, documented, and easy to live with.
