About

We build the tools we wished already existed.

HLS Labs is a small product lab. We pick the everyday problems people have been working around for years and build tools that genuinely fix them.

How we got here

It started with a problem none of us could automate away.

Between the three of us we had spreadsheets, shared notes, reminder apps, and a group text that scrolled too fast to be useful. The real problem was simpler: the information lived in systems that never talked to each other, and nobody was watching it change.

So we built the thing that watches. That became Qilt, and it set the pattern for everything we make: find a problem people have learned to live with, understand why it's hard, and build the machinery that makes it easy.

How we build

Three rules we don't break.

01

Get the facts right

A wrong time or a wrong place costs a family real trouble. In our products those come from a verified source, every time — AI never fills one in.

02

Respect your attention

Good software shortens the list of things you have to check. You won't find streaks, badges, or anything else built to pull you back in.

03

Trust is the feature

You can always see where a piece of information came from. We collect as little as we can, and your data is yours to take with you.

Say hello.

Questions, ideas, or something we should be building — we read everything.
