Four things we've built, and we still run.

A quiet news reader. A wind-and-beach forecast for a Greek island. An AI assistant for missed calls. A community publication. All independent, all shipped, all live.

App

Crux

A calm, both-sides news reader with an audio briefing. Local, national, and world — on one quiet page.

App

Beach Donkey

Live wind, sea, and beach-day forecasts for the Greek island of Andros. Every beach, ranked by shelter from the Meltemi.

AI Assistant

Lead Recover

Turns missed calls into booked jobs for owner-operated service businesses. Answers texts, quotes prices, and books appointments.

Publication

Hometown Tails

A quarterly community publication. Co-op-funded by local businesses, printed and mailed.

What we do

One studio. Four kinds of work.

We are not a marketing agency, not a consultancy, not a print shop. We are all of those and none of them — a studio built around real products, not billable hours.

Apps

Web and mobile products, built to be lean and fast. Sturdy tools that run for years without babysitting.

Publications

Community publications, printed and mailed. Real ink on real paper, written and designed by hand.

AI Assistants

Small, focused assistants that handle the busy work — texts, calls, follow-ups — for owner-operated businesses.

Print & Identity

Marks, letters, and print runs that arrive by mail. Business cards, mailers, brand systems for people who care.

Our approach

Real work. Real accountability.

01

All in

When we take on a project, we go deep. Full attention, top to bottom — from the first sketch to production, and every release after.

02

Operator-led

Everything we build has to survive a real inbox, a real customer, or a real mailing list before it goes public. We are the operators. We know what breaks.

03

Homegrown

We do the writing, the design, the code, and the print production ourselves. Nothing is farmed out. Nothing is theatre. If it does not work, we feel it first.

About the studio

Independent. Family-run. Fully accountable.

Service Steady is an independent studio for the kind of work most agencies will not touch — the quarterly publication for a town no one has heard of, the app for one specific island, the sturdy back-office tool for a business that answers its own phone.

Every product carries our name because we own it, use it, and stand behind it. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is a stepping stone.
