Independent software studio · California
Fog & Iron Labs creates focused tools that turn complicated, high-stakes work into clear next steps.
October 2026 studio update
StandPost has customer-facing trial resources, Fellowway has a private iOS TestFlight build, and our publishing work now includes the Adrian Norwood catalog and Fog & Iron Kids. Public availability still follows each product or title’s own review gates.
Qualifying security businesses can review a sample workflow and apply for the up-to-eight-business cohort. The first workspace is free after approval; a second may follow verified use and candid private feedback. StandPost remains in controlled validation, with human review required.
A private TestFlight build is available for controlled testing. It is not a public App Store or Google Play release; moderation, device, safety, and store-review gates remain.
Our current focus
StandPost focuses on RFP response work. PostOrder Studio focuses on property-specific post orders. Both are being developed around clear source information and human review.
Security RFP Copilot
Organize security-services RFP requirements, identify missing information, and prepare source-grounded drafts for human review. Explore the founding feedback cohort and current availability.
Security operations platform
Turn site-walk information into clear, property-specific post-order work.
Also on the product bench
Explore RivetField and Still in limited beta, Fellowway’s private iOS beta status, Credential Command’s sample-data preview, and active development work on GleamMetric.
Field-service operations platform
Give independent service businesses one clear place for leads, customers, estimates, jobs, invoices, and customer collaboration.
Private daily check-in for close circles
A private daily light for the people who matter to you.
Credential renewal operations for employers
A renewal-control preview for security employers, using sample records only. Customer sign-up, messaging, billing, and customer data are not yet available.
Residential & commercial cleaning operations
A separate platform in development for house-cleaning and commercial janitorial teams: client sites, recurring visits, contracts, inspections, and manager-reviewed photo proof. GleamMetric is a working name.
Connection-focused social app
Fellowway is intentional dating for people ready to move past endless swiping and hookup-first culture. Inclusive, LGBTQ+-welcoming, and made for real connection.
Books and publishing
That’s Outside the Quote, The Client Went Quiet, and Can You Maintain It? are available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover. The Professional Incident Report Prompt Pack is also available in a Kindle edition. Explore Adrian Norwood’s books and verified format links. Separately, Fog & Iron Kids is developing Courtyard Science Club, a bilingual English/Spanish STEM picture-book series. Book 1 is in production under the working title The Bridge That Wouldn’t Hold; no preorder or purchase link is available yet.
Custom app studio
Bring us the bottleneck, handoff, or customer experience that needs to work better. We will help turn it into a focused, scoped first release—without asking you to arrive with a technical plan.

Products distinguish documented facts from missing information and open questions.
Every workflow is designed around a real deliverable, not a technology demo.
Important work stays reviewable, editable, and under human control.
