Independent Studio

Software development
with purpose.

We work with independent developers on projects that maximize utility and minimize greedy business practices. Open-source experiments and niche software for the curious.

FEATURED PROJECTOPEN SOURCE

Dead Internet

An LLM-powered social media simulator. Populate a private network with procedurally generated personas, let them post, argue and drift, and watch a synthetic community form in real time. Free and open source.

In the works

[ ON HIATUS ]

HerdHub

Ranch management for all your animals — offline-capable and data-owned. Paused while Dead Internet gets our attention.

[ PROTOTYPING ]

Simulation tooling

Better instruction-set authoring and analysis for Dead Internet runs. Early, rough, and being used in-house first.

[ RESEARCH ]

Unannounced

Notebook work on small local-model tooling. We'll name it when there is something worth downloading.

We believe software should be small, single-purpose, and user-owned.

GoatBit is a tiny independent studio operating outside the venture capital treadmill. We don't track you, we don't sell your data, and we don't build features just to hit a metric.

That freedom is what lets us build things like Dead Internet — projects that exist because they are worth exploring. More about how we work.
