Five Products, One Philosophy: What We're Building at Control the Kaos

We're a small, bootstrapped studio building software that solves real problems at prices real people can afford. No VC funding, no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no dark patterns. Just useful tools.

Here's everything we're working on.

WhatDate.Works — Group scheduling without the friction

Finding a date that works for a group should take 30 seconds, not 30 emails. WhatDate.Works strips the problem down to the essentials: create a poll, share a link, collect availability, see results. No accounts required — not for the organizer, not for anyone responding.

It's completely free. No limits, no premium tier, no upsells. We think basic group scheduling is a utility, not a product worth charging for.

Skedio — The todo app that syncs to Google Calendar

Most people manage tasks in one app and their schedule in another. The gap between "what to do" and "when to do it" is where tasks go to die. Skedio closes that gap — add a task, and it automatically appears in your Google Calendar as a time block.

No project hierarchies. No AI prioritization. No team features. Just tasks that show up on your calendar. $2.99/month after a 30-day free trial.

Stacked Cards — Know every perk your credit cards offer

The average American has 4 credit cards. Most people know their rewards rates but have no idea about the hidden benefits — trip cancellation insurance, purchase protection, extended warranties, cell phone coverage, lounge access. That's thousands of dollars in value sitting unused, buried in 40-page benefit guides nobody reads.

Stacked Cards maps every benefit across your entire wallet and tells you exactly which card to use for each purchase. Your card data stays on your device — we analyze the benefits, not your spending.

ClearMargin — Shopify profit analytics without the enterprise price tag

Shopify tells you how much you sold. It doesn't tell you how much you made. For years, Lifetimely was the go-to profit dashboard for small Shopify stores. Then it got acquired, raised $30M+ in VC, and pricing jumped to $49-999/month.

ClearMargin fills the gap. Real-time P&L dashboard, customer lifetime value cohort analysis, and top-products-by-profit rankings — starting at $19/month. The same core features at 60% less cost.

Navara — Your fitness story, beautifully tracked

Fitness apps either try to do everything or lock your data behind expensive subscriptions. Navara takes a different approach: local-first, your data on your device, cloud sync only if you want it.

It pulls workouts from Apple HealthKit automatically, lets you import your full Strava history, and tracks the things that keep you motivated — personal records, streaks with freeze mechanics, and achievement badges. Free to use, no subscriptions, no ads.

Why We Build This Way

Every product follows the same rules:

• Solve one problem well. No feature bloat, no trying to be a platform.
• Price honestly. One price, every feature included, cancel in one click.
• Respect the user. No dark patterns, no data harvesting, no guilt trips.

We're not trying to build a unicorn. We're trying to build software that people actually like using — and can actually afford. If that sounds like the kind of thing you want to follow along with, sign up for our newsletter. We only send updates when there's something worth sharing.
