Software with
a soul.

  1. Mixed Spirits formerly Muddled

    Every spec. One searchable book.

    Recipes scattered across screenshots, notes apps, and notebooks become cards you can search, batch to fifty servings, and print as a menu — with version history and full export, so nothing you dialed in gets lost.

  2. Daypart

    Scheduling without the corporate HR bloat.

    Build the week, collect availability, approve swaps and time off from one queue, and publish to the whole crew. For bars, cafés, salons, and shops of 3 to 75 people — no payroll, no onboarding modules, on purpose.

  3. Shoebox

    Photos nobody else should see.

    A vault behind Face ID or a PIN, encrypted on the device, out of your camera roll. There is no networking code in the app at all — and you can check that claim yourself. One purchase, no subscription.

  4. Saivo

    Eat dinner without the gluten panic.

    A gluten-free dining card you hand to the waiter — in 85+ languages, verified by native speakers, fully offline. Built by someone who travels with celiac disease and got tired of guessing.

  5. Discretion Underground

    The official app and site for Newton's speakeasy.

    Cocktails, events, reservations, and a push notification when the green door opens — native on iPhone and Android, with a website to match, for a bar that doesn't advertise.

The Studio

Something lingers
in the code.

Ghostwood is a one-person indie studio haunted by a simple idea: the best software comes from people who've lived inside the problem. We don't build apps about cocktails because we read about them. We build them because we've stood behind the bar.

Based in the foothills of North Carolina, Ghostwood finds the quiet intersections between hospitality, travel, and craft — and builds tools that feel like they were always supposed to exist.
