H3LX Labs LLC · Est. 2025
Software for people
doing real work.
A small studio building tools for search and rescue teams, trial attorneys, wedding photographers, coaches and machine shops — and the occasional system for a client who makes things.
Our products
Four apps, four very different rooms.
Each one started with a job someone was doing badly with a spreadsheet, a group text, or a PDF.
SAR21
The all-in-one platform for volunteer search and rescue teams — critical alerts that break through silent mode, live response tracking, and CalTopo maps built the moment a callout goes out.
ExhibitHawk
Local-first trial evidence presentation. Turns a laptop into a courtroom presentation system — and every case file stays on the machine, never the cloud.
BasePlate
An interactive wedding-day timeline for photographers and videographers. The NOW line moves with the day, your beats come to the front, and when the day runs late you shift everything at once.
TactiTurf
A soccer tactics board for coaches. A real 105 × 68 m pitch, jersey-shaped players with your actual roster on them, and animated plays you can hand to the team.
Client work
Systems built for other companies.
Longer engagements, deeper integration — production floors, ERPs and the people who work them.
GrindIQ
for Destiny Tool
Production scheduling and raw-material inventory for a carbide cutting-tool manufacturer — from planning through grinding, inspection and shipping, driven by QR kiosks on the floor and synced to NetSuite.
Destiny Tool Mobile Catalog
for Destiny Tool
A native iOS catalog for Destiny Tool's carbide end mills. Full specs, list pricing, live NetSuite inventory and a speeds-and-feeds calculator built for the shop floor.
What we build
Three kinds of problem.
Field software
Apps used standing up, outdoors, in a hurry — where the network is bad and the stakes are not theoretical.
Operations systems
Scheduling, inventory and ERP integration for people who make physical things on a schedule.
Local-first tools
Desktop and mobile software that keeps your data on your machine and still works with the wifi off.
Got something that should exist?
H3LX takes on a small number of client projects a year, usually where the software has to survive contact with a real workplace.
