Hexad Labs

Hexad: a group of six

Six domains. Six standards.

Hexad Labs is the home of everything we make. The work spans six domains and is held to six standards of quality. Today that includes Morrow, Caraoke and CreatineIQ.

Alarm clock for iPhone and Apple Watch

An alarm clock for iPhone and Apple Watch. A card is designed to appear two hours before the ring, so you can skip it or nudge it 15 minutes without opening the app.

Pillars of work · what we make

Six domains, one for each side.

Everything Hexad Labs makes sits in one of six domains. Four hold work today and two are kept open.

Pillars of quality · how we make it

Six standards, one for each spoke.

The domains are the sides of the hexagon. The standards are the spokes that run between them and meet in the middle: the same six hold up every project, whatever its domain.

  • Each product does a single thing and leaves the rest out. Scope is a decision, made early and kept.

    CaraokeThe home screen is designed as a record button, a timer and a level. Nothing else competes.

  • Claims are checked against a source, and the riskiest assumption is tested before anything is built on it.

    CreatineIQEach brain-health protocol is labelled with how strong its evidence is: strong, moderate or preliminary.

  • Products use what the device already offers and behave the way its owner expects, instead of reinventing it.

    MorrowAlarms are scheduled through AlarmKit, with the heads-up designed as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen.

  • Requirements, screens and brand are worked out and written down first, so the build has something to answer to.

    CaraokeEvery screen was mocked up and annotated before work on version 1 began.

  • Limits, unknowns and trade-offs are stated plainly, to users and in the work itself.

    CreatineIQStates plainly that it is a calculator and not medical advice.

  • Tests, audits and written decisions keep each product maintainable long after the first release.

    MorrowScheduling rules are covered by unit tests that run against a fixed clock.
