Stinky Software.

hello@stinkysoftware.com

Small software, kept for a long time.

A two-person studio in the Oregon Coast Range, on a 37-acre tree farm outside Portland. We build a couple of applications, maintain them ourselves, and answer our own support email. Nothing here is trying to become a large company.

PetDeets

Most pet apps stop at dogs and cats. PetDeets is built for feathers, scales and shells too — and it holds everything that used to live in your head, on sticky notes, and in group texts. Daily routines. Every dose, with a record of whether it was actually given. Weights and symptoms, so you catch a change early. Vaccines, vet visits, allergies.

Invite family, roommates or a sitter and everyone stays in sync. On the bad day, the flagged conditions and emergency contacts are already at the top of the screen.

RhythmRamp

Most metronomes just click. RhythmRamp ramps — the tempo climbs or falls on its own while you keep playing, so you build speed without stopping to argue with a dial. Subdivisions, swing feels, clave patterns, accents for any time signature, and your own samples if you want them.

Practice gets logged, charted and streaked, so progress is something you can see. Setlists go on stage with you. And Band Sync puts everyone in the room on one clock over Bluetooth and local Wi-Fi — no internet, no setup, the leader drives the tempo.

The studio

Stinky Software is a registered Oregon limited liability company. Two people, three dogs, no investors, and no roadmap written by anyone else. Susan does the design — including the fellow up top — and finds the bugs before you do.
